I live on 10 wooded acres. I setup a camper I got for 1500 bucks out in our woods and it has been doing great! I had the idea about a year and a half ago but never listed it because I didn't think it was fancy enough. I kid you not, 88% - 95% occupancy as is. Needless to say I bought another one 🙂

“Not including the land itself” Pretty big thing to leave out…

The fact that you don’t go by Rob The Builder is something I think about a lot.

Can you do video about the ins and outs of finding land for glamping or tiny houses, not like ideal locations, but steps of finding and buying land for unique undersized dwellings?

Wow.... thank you SOOOO much for all the amazing information ROB!! I bought a property 4 years ago with a perfect off grid Airbnb cabin and had no idea at the time how much interest it would get. I waited 2 years to list it just because I didn't think it was "ready". I finally pulled the trigger and 4 days after it was listed it booked solid for nearly 3 months! Now I'm looking to expand my property with Glamping opportunities and your channel and content is absolutely a BLESSING! I can't wait to take your "Glamping course". Thanks again! Cheers mate! Dan

This is awesome! We just purchased 45 acres in NW Indiana and are looking to set up a campground/tiny house village/wedding venue. We've noticed the low start up costs are attractive on tents, but you don't get the appreciation and have more wear and tear and less off season options. Tiny houses can be rented year round, but require more startup capital to get them going. Still working out the perfect plan.🤓 Love all your videos and info man!

You’re the man, bro! I plan to take the online course as soon as it’s available and I’m also interested in setting up a time to chat and get some direction and advice. Keep kicking ass dude 👊

Awesome video, thanks for doing the calculations. Obviously we could have done it ourselves, but breaking down some of the numbers and confirming the legitimacy is what's going to really boost the quality of this channel! Looking forward to the course! Let's build a live case study on the channel!

This was so interesting and so great to finally see someone who actually explains this in pretty good details! Been looking to do a campground for a while now and this info of yours is going to be helpful!! Thanks for making the video!

Brilliant ideas!! Super stoked to see your course info! Gorgeous video quality - lighting and everything was perfect! ☀️

Great content Rob, thank you! I'm your neighbor out here in Knoxville. I am starting a glamping business out in Morgan County! I hope you are loving Tennessee as much as I do!

Even if I was to net 1500/mo from a place like those in Joshua tree, all expenses included, that's insanity. If you automate your process and get you some quality cleaners/managers on this, you'd be passively bringing in the more than a minimum wage worker each month. Start accumulating 3-6 of these and you're able to quit your job. This is seriously so intriguing for me to see.

Awesome video! I’d love to hear about the turnover setup you have going. Do you have full-time cleaners, do you subcontract that out? What about maintenance and repairs? Loving all the content recently.

Hey Rob, As a former Contractor and new developer for Scalable Homes you've got me excited about the possibilities and this information is of tremendous value and I greatly appreciate it.

Talk about the legalities. In most places it's not actually legal to setup a camp without first having a legal house. Alot of the Airbnb glamping sites may just be getting away with it.

Pssst...want a list of my top 5 #glamping vendors? 👇🏽👇🏽 bit.ly/2ODC4pH Also, be sure to tune into next week's video where we talk all things LAND.

I love your sense of humor and your content! Thank you for sharing 🙏

This is great! You definitely have sparked my interest and even though I am 58 yrs old, I am seriously considering this as an investment option for retirement. Will start looking for property in NE Alabama Smokey Mountains. I absolutely love camping and we went when our children were young. Mostly off grid but with some type of creek/river or lake in front of us. Now a days go with bath houses! 😎

Dude you editing is freaking gooood! Awesome intros

Thanks for all the content! Your glamping business and your videos have been an inspiration for me to start looking to dip my toe in the short term rental market.

Looking into turning our airstream into an Airbnb. Thanks for making this video! We are completely sold on it now👍😀

Just found your channel and love your content!! I look forward to being a part of your training when you offer it again. Just missed the deadline. :( Thank you for sharing your knowledge and look forward to starting a new business.

Here from Bigger Pockets. Your production quality is too notch. Thank you for your hard work.

Oh my. When I first met my husband I put up with camping and pretended I liked it. I hate camping. Best part about camping is coming home. True story. Now, camping involves a trailer with a heater, ac, and a toilet, and running water. No more dirt camping. I needed a few days to recover from camping. Not the best way to spend your weekend...in a tent not sleeping...usually freezing listening to someone snore. Now that I think about it, I had to drink tons of alcohol and pass out in order to "sleep". Nope.

As a person who ran Vegas to Phoenix I can tell you that Joshua Tree 🌲 is a VERY well traveled area and it really doesn’t matter the time of year. I have thought about this idea for a long time because there are folks who fish 🐟, mountain bike 🚵‍♂️ , kayak or hike who don’t want to sleep at a truck stop, Walmart or rv park. As a truck driver I planned my to park at the mobile gas ⛽️ station with the Arby’s right across the street from Joshua. Actually there’s pick nick tables on the huge are of desert 🏜 there. New subscriber!

Love the lead magnet, can't wait for the course launch!

I loved camping, when I was younger, in the post Vietnam years. Someone noticed we could buy some "army surplus" canvas tents, set them up at a campsite, and sell them to campers, coming in as we leave. We literally, went camping for free. We sold them for more then we paid, and didnt have to take them down when we left. I was 17-ish. It was too easy. I'm shocked at what tents go for today. shocked.

It all depends on your state/county codes, this is an awesome opportunity but in Hawaii there is really strict laws against air-bnb & vacation rentals.

Wow man thanks for the info I just started my first airBB and wholly smoke this is another level but with not the huge expense

Useful content for us. Thanks Rob! Was that a clip from Flight of the Conchords? Yis!

Dude that’s awesome. I subscribed and looking forward for next videos

Great video. Make sure the county/town allows it and if it doesn't, educate them so they understand it's a win-win situation.

THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH FOR ACKNOWLEDGING THERE IS NO SUCH WORD AS ACCROSSED!!!! MASSIVE pet peeve of mine!! AND Suposebly!! or Expresso!! (I could go on, but I won't) I LOVE your channel, and am about to set up a call with you or sign up for your Glamping set up training. Looking at some property where I can land a few, and set up a farm share/glamping scene! BTW, your humor kills me every time!! Thank you - Sheri

Super informative, looking forward to getting into and learning more about this business

Great content! Excited for the next videos!

So cool. There are not many affordable lake homes where I live but you can still find waterfront property fairly reasonable. I have been debating if I should spend the money on an awesome yurt that won't appreciate the same or build an a frame tiny cabin.

First off, quality is phenomenal. Love the studio set up so far. Second, I nearly died when your lights went crazy in the beginning. So funny

Absolutely love it keep it up Rob

I just ordered my first canvas tent last week. Thank you for all the great videos and info!

Dude you’re brilliant, great biz ideas and you explain it very well.

Your videos are really getting me excited to get more property!

Thanks for the video - super cool concept and the ROI beats anything I've got going. Question - how would you organize the cleaning and maintenance logistics in a tent in the middle of the desert?

I seriously love you. Thank you for your content

Great info,Thanks for sharing.

BIG Fan over here! And congrats on hitting 100K subscribers!! I just wanted to say you inspired us to move to the Smoky Mountains, buy land and we are now starting a glamping business!! So excited to continue following your journey and root you on!

You've been an inspiration to start a tiny house business!! Thank you and I'm so happy for your rapid success!! 🥰🥰 can you please do a video talking about specifics of the permits and zoning etc for the glamping?? Thank you!!!

talking about tourism in march 2021. this is the confidence i need in my life

Good ideas. Be sure to see what goes on in all seasons ie; Moab doesn't have many restaurants open during winter and it's almost a ghost town. Also cost of land should be taken into consideration here.

Great video have been looking at doing this in central Florida just still up in air because mouse land still having issues

Great presentation and very true, thanks!

thanks Robuilt!! super inspiring

I appreciate your videos dude. Cheers!

Great video, I personally rented a small cabin next to a national forest and loved it. Question, are you leasing or do you own your camp sites?

Brother this is pure golden bars. I'm about to start up because you.

Great video!!!! Thank you for the info. I'm looking for land in TN to do this exact thing.

What do you do about county regulations though. It seems 99% of the glamping sites are not up to new codes set against short term rentals or will soon be not up to code. It’s annoying that a “neighbor” who’s acres away can complain and shut down your business on your land.

I have some land in Alabama, and I was considering putting tiny houses, but this is super intriguing! Great video 👍🏽

I love this idea and I'm doing it! Thank you for the idea.

This is nuts! Great video I have to buy one for my real estate portfolio.

Great info. Really enjoy your videos! My only question is...... What about the land that you're parking these tents and trailers on? Do you have to buy a lot? Do you rent the land from someone?

The worst part about your videos is I can't sleep after watching them as I get too excited to use what I learned from your experiences to sleep. Dang, what a niche. Great info, really well done videos and presentations too. Thank you very very much for your videos. Cheers from Wisconsin.

Dude the motel 6 comments seriously had me LOL! Great Content!

Another banger, great content mate! Ps. Just bought our land and thinking of using these tips to make some $ while we’re building. Cheers!

I currently work for a Glamping company called Under Canvas and they make BANK! I'm learning tips and tricks to set up my own listing! Thank you!

Solid video. Appreciate the share.

Justine's place in Jtree (the airstreams) they have a clubhouse too and pretty epic social media following. They have been going about 5 years and were one of the early people doing it there....they are also professional musicians from LA so they have a big following there. They bought their land and house for $150k and put about $10-12K per trailer for build outs but they do the work themselves. So there is that. They are killing it and a good model.

My Favorite part was when you said interest rates on camping trailers are like 4-5%, which you thought is high. And when you said an airstream is like $30,000-$40,000. The low end of a camping trailer interest rate would be 6.5%. They are luxury loans. So they have really high interest rates. An airstream have gone anywhere from $70,000 if they need restoration to $130,000 for plug and play ready to roll unit. You do great videos! I love your information and insight. You are very thorough and it is extremely appreciated. But I just noticed those discrepancies so I thought I would help out. I understand this video is a year old. But these prices were relevant over a year ago also. Thanks Rob!

Do you have third party insurance for your yurt, tents in Grand Canyon? I can not find any insurance company that will provide coverage for temporary structure (yurt, dome,etc) or claims by guests for short term rental. The airbnb insurance thing is largely useless from what i heard. Can anyone else provide some insight or advice how to insure the property and how to insure against a guest making a claim?

Thanks for the information. I have a 1.25 acres near Orlando in the middle of nowhere. I am thinking about doing something off grid. You just gave me some idea. I can try to make some money of the land.

WOW I love this idea I live in Houston Texas and my wife and I love going to Fredericksburg Tx and it’s always hard finding a place to stay down there. We would love to do this down Fredericksburg Tx. I’m definitely going to look into this

That motel impersonation with the mustache LMAAAOOOOOOOO! Also I'm learning a lot thank you!

Seriously great information in this video. Do you think it’s fair to extrapolate the occupancy rate from April/May out to the rest of the year or is there a pretty sharp drop off during winter months? Looking forward to the next video!

Very true, I have that same questions. Are these tenants set up in land they own did they ask for permission? How would that work?

could you do a walk around maybe of your glamping sites and talk about the cost of it and like im curious on the bathrooms... do you have a septic system? or some one that comes out to clean them? i would love a walk around for sure and how to get it started and who to talk to first. like a list of how to get started. and the kind of property to buy.

This is an awesome video and extremely informative. I really appreciate the way you communicate the facts. I would be interested in booking a one on one for more information if you are still offering that. 🤑

This is literally what we are embarking on right now! Three acres in the mountains in NC. Building a couple cabins and setting up a couple glamping units.

Can’t stop thinking about this. We’ve been wanting to buy some land and build a tiny home, but this reinforced the idea! Only need money to invest! 😩😅 Thank you! Subbed, liked and following to learn! 👍

Love the Tom Boddet commercial. Stayed in Motel 6 in Topeka Kansas and the rain 🌧️ was coming through the air conditioner and management basically said it sucks to be you.🤔😳

What about the options you have come across for Land to put these things on? Monthly at an rv park? Buy land? Maybe in next video ? Thanks for this!!

Love it! Put me on the wait list!

Hey Rob, just an FYI that we've been working with Coconino County planning and zoning near the Grand Canyon for months to try and get our business properly permitted and they have stringent requirements. You need a conditional use permit, building permits (even required for any wood platform and of course restroom/shower facilities), lighting permits, and the list goes on just for canvas tents and you can only operate them 6 months of the year which is what Under Canvas does (see international building code on this one for “temporary membrane structure” as it was quite a surprise to us and most municipalities follow these codes). We're over $10k spent just in pre-engineering fees for the first permit doing all the non-engineering work ourselves. They said they’ve shut down quite a few of these that have not followed the permitting process and I don’t want your viewers to spend a bunch of money and get shut down and heavily fined. For more info around the Grand Canyon specifically, see section 3.18 of the zoning ordinance, the counties been super helpful but the process is a little exhausting! www.coconino.az.gov/DocumentCenter/View/31215/Coconino-County-Zoning-Ordinance---Final-Approved-November-12-2019?bidId=

I want to learn more. Looking forward to emailing you, thank you for this, excited about the thought😁😁

Man you are thorough!

Omg Rob. Keep being you. You weird and cool all at once, and that’s why we like you! 🙌🏽 btw cuz a you I’m getting into glamping! Got my first meeting with a landowner two days from now... yeet 🔥

I’ve already mapped out my entire business plan and what keeps confusing me is the land and permitting process, every county is different and some of the most enticing land is Native American owned. The affordable land available for purchase is undeveloped but zoned residential and each county has minimum requirements on properties to permit or don’t allow camping. a lot of these county’s don’t even allow you to put your own rv on the land without a permit which tends to require well and septic so the land and permitting is the big hinderance. If I can figure that out I’d be up and running

Great video comrade really thank you

I am watching this for the 5th time might book a call with u this is solid gold

Additional glamping advice is to furnish it with crap off Skymall. Thanks, Tom Haverford!

It is very hard to find counties that allow this. I have spoken to countless counties that say it isn't allowed or that you have to hire an engineer to make sure the road to the tents is to code and the icing on the cake is that they only allow you to operate 6 months out of the year. So my projected income is half of what I thought. But I am pushing forward and going to build more tents to compensate for operating only 6 months out of the year. I wondered why all the big glamping companies only operated seasonally. I thought it was the weather but it looks like legally you can't. I just hope I don't have to take them down every year and store them for 6 months because that will be expensive and a pain.

I'm glamping in the comments.

Interesting concept. You guys rock! Can you get Liability Insurance for the Glamping business? If so how much are you paying and what does it cover🤔? Thanks for sharing!

How do you protect the site/items from theft/vandalism (when not occupied), since it's not a typical home you can lock up?

This is the video I didn't know I've been searching for!

Hey Rob, I just started following your channel and I want to thank you for all the great info you share. I have a question, this may be dumb but you didn’t say so I’m just learning and don’t want to go without asking: the Red Rock camper on this video, seems like there is nothing around them, did these people purchase the land, or is it like a camp site where they posted and as long as they pay their rent they can AirBnB the camper? Thanks bud

Omg, Bob The Builder, hilarious! Love your videos and inspired every day through your content.

As the owner of 2 glamping businesses, I can attest to this being a lucrative business!

How do you deal with the risk? Are you able to get insurance to cover being sued if there is an accident if someone is injured while glamping at your location?

Rob, they would have been closed in a Tipi in March because it was 20 degrees. :) But April they would be open.

You forgot to go into is how are you able to secure a year-round spot in these campgrounds, the cost of the land use, cost of utilities, and cost of having someone ensuring the rental is kept up (ie clean for next guest, linens cleaned, maintenance cost done to keep up the "glamper" they stay in, and how to run this passively if you don't live in the area. No one can do this without knowing how to do these.
