Maximizing RV Park and Campground Profitability: How Green River’s A-Frame Can Restore 40% Net Margins

Over the past decade, RV parks and campgrounds have evolved to meet the growing demand for unique and comfortable accommodations. Park model cabins have played a critical role in this transformation, offering a profitable alternative to traditional RV sites. However, rising material costs have lowered returns, making it more challenging for park operators to achieve the 40% net margins they once enjoyed.

That’s where the Green River A-Frame comes in. Developed in direct response to industry needs, this innovative new unit provides an affordable, durable, and highly profitable lodging option that meets today’s demand for glamping-style accommodations—all while delivering a strong return on investment.

The Challenge: Rising Costs and Lower Margins

Before COVID-19, park models were a no-brainer investment, often yielding a 40%+ return on investment (ROI). However, in the last five years, increasing material costs have raised cabin prices, lowering park model ROI to around 25%. While park models still generate strong cash flow, campground owners need a cost-effective alternative to regain higher profit margins.

In December, Sean Vidrine, CEO of Four Points RV Resorts, challenged Green River Log Cabins to create a high-quality, lower-cost rental unit that could restore 40% ROI or better without sacrificing durability or guest experience. Rising material costs had eroded park model margins, and campground owners needed a more profitable alternative.

In just eight weeks, the Green River team delivered. The A-Frame was designed from the ground up to maximize profitability, offering a durable, low-maintenance build at a fraction of the cost of a park model. Priced at $32,900, it provides strong rental potential with minimal operating expenses, making high-margin returns possible again.

Introducing the Green River A-Frame: A High-ROI Solution for Campgrounds

The A-Frame is a game-changer for campground operators. Designed to serve guests seeking a glamping-style experience, this unit sleeps 3-5 people and includes:

• A kitchenette
• A bathroom
• Space for a futon or sleeper sofa
• Energy-efficient heating and cooling options
• High-quality construction designed to last decades, not years

And the best part? The cost to operate it is peanuts.

At a price point of $32,900, the A-Frame provides a premium guest experience at a fraction of the cost of a full-size park model cabin. With low maintenance, minimal operating expenses, and strong nightly rates, this unit is a high-margin addition to any RV park or campground.

Why the A-Frame Works for Campgrounds

1. Expanding Market Reach with Affordable Luxury

The A-Frame fills a crucial gap in the market. While park model cabins remain popular, rising rental rates have pushed some customers out of the premium lodging segment. The A-Frame allows campgrounds to capture a broader audience, providing an attractive price point while maintaining glamping-level appeal.

2. High ROI with Lower Initial Investment

At $32,900 per unit, the A-Frame is priced significantly lower than traditional park models, enabling campground owners to invest in multiple units for the price of a single full-size cabin. Lower acquisition costs translate directly into higher returns—getting back to the 40% net margin benchmark.

3. Low Operating Costs & Minimal Maintenance

Unlike traditional park models, which require more maintenance over time, the A-Frame is designed for durability and efficiency. The combination of solid construction, energy-efficient systems, and simple design keeps long-term maintenance expenses low.

4. Versatile Rental Opportunities

The A-Frame isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience. Campgrounds can market it as:

✔ A glamping retreat
✔ A premium rental cabin
✔ A cozy getaway for couples and small families
✔ An alternative to traditional tent camping
