1. looking for information or a web site that offers free samples of business plans or any information on how to operate a campground
2. Go to best Buy and buy a buisness Plan CD-ROM. I tried creating my own and it's just too difficult if you have never done one before. You will save a lot of time by simply purchasing the tutorial CD.
   
   I will warn you though, they have 2 different types. Expensive and cheap... they are the same product, just better casing, and more text on the outside. Get the 20 dollar one not the 70 dollar one!
