It is structured as three affiliated entities: Martis Camp Club (MCC), which sells Golf and Social memberships to homesite owners on an application-and-approval basis; Martis Camp Community Association (MCCA), a member-elected governing body that manages security, Architecture Review, roads, landscaping, snow removal, wildfire preparedness, and emergency planning; and the Martis Camp Foundation (MCF), a 501(c)(3) that disbursed $1,508,479 in community grants and scholarships in 2025 with 23% of member families contributing.

Notable infrastructure includes AI-powered fire detection cameras, thermal drone surveillance, 453 hydrants across the Zone 4 system, and a 20-million-gallon emergency water reserve at Concert Park Lake, all supporting Firewise USA certification achieved in 2018.

Revenue is generated primarily through homesite sales, recurring Club membership dues (pricing not publicly disclosed), Architecture Review fees ($6,000-$17,000 per Estate Site project), Construction Deposits, and member donations to the Foundation. Distribution is direct-to-member through on-site amenities only, with a member-exclusive website and mobile app supporting service access. Governance transitioned from developer DMB/Highlands Group to member control in January 2019. The Club has hosted the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship (2013) and U.S. Senior Amateur (2023), and is recognized as a Platinum Club of America by the Club Leaders Forum.
