Ours.... We bought an RV Park & Campground in McBride, in the Robson Valley in Northern BC. Moved in June this year. House is small but there's only two of us and its enough to maintain 12 acres without having to worry about the house as well. Its a remote life, water comes straight from the Fraser River, nearest decent shopping is 2 hours away and the wildlife is abundant. We love it!!! It sure beats the square patch of dirt we had in Sussex!!!!

Ok - hopefully done it - thanks for the tips everyone 
The house is a 4 bed walkout - the picture's taken from the bottom ie the walkout side pointing up. It was $250,000 2.5 years ago and now worth around the $550 - $600,000 mark judging by the prices of houses in our subdivision currently up for sale. So we didn't do too badly
House still needs some work we've partly decorated, updated some floors and partially upgraded the kitchen but overall there's still a lot to do to escape the 70s style
The other photo is part of the yard taken last summer.

Re: whats yours like??
May I ask, was that a fairly impulsive buy? - or was it something you were planning and looking for, for a long time - and how much research did you do on this kind of business and income? It's not the kind of thing I would rule out in the future.

Here's our place. It's a 3 bed hand crafted log home with 8 acres of land. There's an additional guest cabin and detached log double garage (lots of wood round here 
) 2 animal sheds, chicken coop, storage shed, garden shed, workshop. B&B business, tractor, horse trailer, all furniture and appliences for both the house and the guest accomodation, not to mention numerous birds and animals were all included in the purchase price. We bought in Nov '05 for $340k.

We have been so lucky and I count my blessings every time I look at those mountains.

Your living our dream! When our daughter finishes school we will find ourselves a nice campground to run......unless an absolute dreamy place presents itself beforehand.
Where did you find your campground listed? I have found a couple of places on the 'net that advertise them but is there a secret thing I don't know about?
