Thinking about owning a deeded campsite at Indian Acres? Here's exactly how the process works — from your first tour with Chris to signing the papers and enjoying your first season.
Buying a lot at Indian Acres is simpler than most people expect. There's no bidding war, no complicated mortgage process, and no long waiting list. Here's exactly how the process works from start to finish.
Step 1: Book a Free Personal Tour with Chris
The first step is scheduling a personal tour with Chris. Unlike the official POA tour process — which requires a $35 application fee and a self-guided tour — booking with Chris has zero prerequisites. No fee, no application. Just pick a time that works for you.
During the tour, Chris will walk you through the property, show you available lots, and give you a full amenities tour. Tours typically last 1.5–2 hours.
Step 2: Choose Your Lot
Indian Acres has several sections (called 'glens'), each with a different character. Some are wooded and private. Others are open and closer to the pools and lakes. Chris will help you understand the differences and find a lot that fits your lifestyle and budget.
Lots range from approximately 2,000 to 6,000+ square feet and are priced between $15,000 and $65,000 depending on size, location, and existing improvements (decks, sheds, hookups).
Step 3: Make an Offer
Once you've found a lot you love, Chris will help you make an offer to the seller. Most transactions are straightforward — the seller sets a price, you negotiate if needed, and you agree on terms.
Step 4: Complete the POA Application
All lot purchases at Indian Acres require approval from the Property Owners Association (POA). The application includes a background check and a $35 processing fee. Chris will guide you through this process and make sure everything is submitted correctly.
Step 5: Financing (If Needed)
Many buyers pay cash for their lots, but financing is available. Because Indian Acres lots are deeded real property, they can be financed through personal loans, home equity lines of credit, or seller financing in some cases. Chris can connect you with lenders who have experience with campground lot purchases.
Step 6: Close and Get Your Keys
Once the POA approves your application and financing is in place, you'll close on the lot — typically at a local title company. You'll receive a deed to the property, and you're officially an Indian Acres lot owner.
Step 7: Set Up Your Lot and Enjoy
After closing, you can start enjoying your lot immediately. Many new owners spend their first season getting to know the property, meeting neighbors, and planning improvements. The Indian Acres community is welcoming and helpful — you'll feel at home quickly.
