Wow feel a bit swamped!
To be clear, the property is a large bungalow and has some very good workshops, this attracted me as my circumstances are changing (covid/Brexit/personal) and I’d like continue a design/manufacture business from home, the property seemed reasonably priced, but it is in a completely different part of the country.
I came across the camp site while reading the property details, it was not mentioned in the main advert, then checked the site on line and saw it got good reviews, and is not too close to the house.
There is plenty of land to expand the site, but I wouldn’t want a 30 pitch site (although I’m sure Jim’s maths are correct) I’d only consider that if someone else was looking after it as I want to continue attending motorsport events and touring etc, also I’m not a smiley people person, on campsites I’m polite and helpful but not looking for a new mate.
The vendor seems to have done an exceptional job with the site, and if I don’t buy it I’ll certainly visit next year, they’ve sent me the accounts for the site and it makes money, but certainly not enough as a sole business to attract me, that said if I’m on site working then it’s a good add on.
I can see away to easily use technology to remotely control the site access and payment etc (it’s a skill I’ve already trained for) which should reduce my commitment but someone will still need to be on hand to stop people stealing plums etc.
One of the workshops could be rented out to another business, such as a small retail outlet etc and possibly that business owner could strike a deal on rent for site cover (this is just a thought)
Personally l would prefer 10 well behaved full timers, or maybe 10 storage slots that people can stay at.
I recently looked at running a storage site, and it ain’t for me.
As for our travelling “friends“ really NOT an issue, I’ve spent today installing triple security gates on a business estate, (three gates separated to allow cars and artics to be controlled, cars have three controlled gates to pass through, artics have two gates) and these can be controlled from anywhere in the world with 4g or WiFi. I’m looking to design and manufacture gates, design and build computer networks and install CCTV and alarms in the future as these are skills I can transfer from my existing business.

And the stuff they throw away!! Someone will tell me the bins are full and I say they can't be I only emptied yesterday! the things you find, knackered old batteries, dozens of pairs of smelly old shoes, I do mean dozens, 30 year old windbreaks, old car radiators. continental quilts,Wellington boots, lumps of linoleum. carpet, saucepans, old chairs, pillows, waterpipe, picnic tables, mattresses. I've got three or four bins to cope with the bit of waste camping generates, but people just dump on you before they leave.
