Holiday Camplands Assn

What Holiday Camplands Assn does

Holiday Camplands Association is a member-owned private camping community located on a 600-acre site adjacent to Pymatuning Lake in Andover, Ohio, operating continuously since 1971. The community sells fee simple deeded campsites (minimum 35' x 80') with water and electricity hookups to individual members, who collectively own the Property Owners' Association through an elected 18-member Council. A small operational staff of approximately 7 employees, led by a General Manager hired by the Council, maintains the property and runs a year-round sales office that facilitates lot transactions between existing members and prospective buyers through non-commissioned salespersons. On-site amenities include two swimming pools, a par 3 golf course, miniature golf, tennis, shuffleboard, an adult clubhouse, a youth recreation center, a 26-acre stocked fishing lake (Gault Lake), and 27 comfort stations distributed throughout the grounds. The Association also operates an on-site mercantile center (convenience store, Laundromat, food concessions) and runs an organized activities and entertainment program featuring dances, bingo, poker runs, fishing contests, holiday celebrations, and weekly non-denominational church services during summer. Member engagement is supported by a weekly newsletter called The Smoke Signal and Google Calendar event integration.

Revenue is generated through four primary streams: one-time lot sales facilitated by the sales office, a one-time initiation fee paid at purchase, recurring annual maintenance fees ($895 per regular RV lot), and pass-through electrical costs billed monthly to owners. Lot owners are also eligible to participate in the Camp Coast to Coast reciprocal camping network, extending the utility of ownership to partner properties nationwide. Marketing and member acquisition are conducted primarily through the Association's website (holidaycamplands.com), Facebook social sharing, and the weekly Smoke Signal publication. Governance, fee levels, and policy are set by the elected Council on behalf of the member base. The entity is private, has no parent company, no institutional investors, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed revenue figures.
