How would a cabin on a 100' x 100' plot of unimproved land work out? Will there be central electricity, water from a central well, sewage? Or would each cabin have to supply its own generator/solar, personal well, septic? Is the property forested, will the plots be widely spaced, or on top of/in close sight of the others? Can you build a fence? How about a stockade? Road network or ad hoc 4x4 trails or fly-in access? Are there zoning laws/building codes that will get in the way? Does the campsite "owner" get a deed or recorded easement of some sort, that doesn't get wiped out if the ranch owner gets foreclosed? What sorts of rallies would be held there - noisy chaotic ones that will keep you awake all night? Etc.

From your side, after the one-time sale of camping rights, what continuing income source would you have? Not sure what the capital, carrying, and operating costs of the ranch would be, but how many rallies a year would you need, to support it? Can you really attract rallies without providing stuff like electricity, sanitation, lots of water, gasoline, general store, etc? Can you sell grazing and/or hunting rights?

Lots of issues, I'm sure you've thought of many more. I personally don't like arid country, that's just a personal taste thing.
