Roaring Springs Ranch Club

What Roaring Springs Ranch Club does

Roaring Springs Ranch Club, Inc. is a private, member-owned nonprofit recreational club operating on 746 acres of mortgage-free ranch land in Roaring Springs, Texas (ZIP 79256), founded in 1976 and incorporated in its current member-owned form in 1986 after members acquired the property from a bankrupt developer. The club's infrastructure includes 164 campsites across five campgrounds (with water/electric hookups and dump stations), a 9-hole par-36 golf course (2,845 yards) with Bent Grass Greens and Buffalo Grass Fairways, a spring-fed Olympic-sized swimming pool, a fishing lake, the South Pease River frontage, ATV and hiking trails, a Guest House, a Chapel, an Administration Building (built 2005), and a Golf Clubhouse (built 2010). A member-elected Board of Directors (President Lee Jones, Vice President Dale Harris, Secretary Becky Chatfield, plus four board members) governs the club, supported by an operational staff of approximately 15 employees under General Manager Amy Bearden (in role since 2009).

The business model is built on a one-time initiation fee of $2,995 (plus sales tax) and recurring quarterly dues of $201.88, with ancillary revenue from tiered golf memberships ($172.66-$690.63 annually), golf cart storage ($159.38-$637.50 annually), guest day fees ($25/adult, military discount to $10), Guest House rentals ($275/night plus tax), Chapel rentals, and organized golf tournaments (2 Jacks and 1 Jill, 2 Man Scramble). A payment plan option requires 20% down plus 12-month financing at 8% APR for new members. The club acquires members through its website (rsrc.org), monthly email newsletter, and scheduled facility tours (9am-4pm, seven days a week).

The target customer is individuals and families seeking outdoor recreation in rural Texas, including camping, fishing, golf, swimming, ATV riding, hiking, and event hosting. The member-owned governance and 50-year operating history constitute the primary intangible value proposition, while natural features (Roaring Springs Falls, the spring-fed pool, the South Pease River) provide physical differentiation that cannot be replicated. The club is legally organized as a Texas nonprofit corporation with no parent company, no subsidiaries, no disclosed funding rounds, and no public disclosures of revenue or membership counts.

Emerging players

• Highway West Vacations: Highway West Vacations is a smaller hospitality operator managing a portfolio of boutique RV resorts and campgrounds in the Western U.S. Relevant as an emerging player testing curated, amenity-rich outdoor recreation concepts that could overlap with RSRC's family-campground-plus-golf positioning.

Broad incumbents

• KOA (Kampgrounds of America): KOA is the largest U.S. franchised campground network with 500+ locations, offering campsites with utility hookups and recreational amenities. While KOA operates on a nightly/transactional basis rather than RSRC's membership model, it is a broad incumbent in the same family-camping segment and competes for the same drive-to outdoor recreation demand.
• Sun Outdoors (Sun Communities): Sun Outdoors operates a large portfolio of RV resorts, manufactured home communities, and cabin rentals across the U.S. It is comparable to RSRC as a broad incumbent in the RV/camping outdoor recreation space, though it is a commercial operator with significantly larger scale than the single-site RSRC.
• Equity Lifestyle Properties (ELS): ELS owns and operates manufactured home communities, RV resorts, and membership campgrounds (including Thousand Trails). Comparable as a broad incumbent that monetizes outdoor recreation through both property sales and recurring membership/site fees, similar to how RSRC blends dues with guest fees and rentals.

Direct peers

• Resort Parks International (RPI): RPI is a membership-based exchange organization that gives members access to campgrounds, RV resorts, and outdoor recreation properties across North America. Comparable to RSRC because it monetizes outdoor recreation through recurring membership dues rather than nightly stays, mirroring RSRC's subscription-based access model.
• Jellystone Park: Jellystone Park is a franchise network of family-oriented campgrounds that bundle camping with recreation amenities (pools, mini-golf, themed activities). Comparable to RSRC because it sells access to multi-activity outdoor recreation rather than pure lodging, and serves family/individual segments seeking nature-based leisure similar to RSRC's membership base.
• Thousand Trails: Thousand Trails operates a membership-based network of campgrounds and RV resorts across the U.S. Like RSRC, access is gated by an annual membership fee, and members can use camping facilities as part of their dues — making it the closest direct comparable in business model for the campground component of Roaring Springs Ranch Club.

Regional players

• Botanical World Adventures: Botanical World Adventures operates an integrated outdoor recreation destination on Hawaii's Big Island combining gardens, ziplines, waterfalls, and camping. Comparable in concept (multi-activity outdoor recreation with paid admission and lodging) though it operates as a single commercial site rather than a member-owned club.
