The biggest problem would be paperwork and taxes.  If these issues could be dealt with, I think it is a great idea.  Especially if there were numerous parcels of land purchased in many different places.  A core group could pool X amount of money to buy properties.  If someone already owned land in a desirable location, maybe they could use that as part of their portion of the investment.  Folks that didn't make the initial investments could pay a very reasonable fee to use the property and that could help pay taxes. 

I'd recommend not to make improvements on the properties as that would raise taxes.  A small trailer with a water haul tank at each site would be a great asset.  Taxes on unimproved land are usually very reasonable.

I would personally enjoy having somewhere that I could do a bit of gardening during the summer months.

My 2 cents
  I have let (2) different people come here to have a power & me repair their vehicles---hell I couldn't even get a (thanks) much less help me do something. come to the house eat,,zip gone back to their van no help--(can I do the dishes at least NEVER HAPPEN ) stay up all night on his computer to tired in the day to help me.
  a group will fight over who used the most electricity,( and I'm not paying THAT.!!! then the (1) [leader]will be stuck with the whole bill.  
well if you might be able to do that 's that's fine. my place is NOT a desert, I've been here 29 years--it may not be a resort RV park. but you don't come here to trash my place..
yep i'm  venting, you want to live like a pig===go elsewhere.

I dunno, seems like a recipe for disputes later on.  I mean, you put your money in and then what?  Whose name does the land actually go in, and who is legally responsible for the taxes?   Would you buy a large plot of land then deed parcels out to the investors?

Wagoneer,
In a perfect world that sounds great.
I think you might just be better buying it yourself and using it as a base for you only.

Cop the taxes and maintenance, Less hassle in the long run.
Geoff.

Maybe rather than owning parcels of land communally.....folks own parcels of land themselves and form a group.  You can camp on my place and Susy can camp on my place....and I can camp on your place and I can camp on Susy's place.  I like this idea a lot, because I already own the perfect place

Well we could have little 'Honeys Parks' all over, and I'm ok with you using the name.   But in truth buying land side by side is an option, and combining/using as a communal park but, purchasing acreage and then selling mini plots within it leads to all sorts of planning & zoning issues subdividing, and legal hassles this way could kill the idea.  btw: from past life experience, I hate planning and zoning...

0 acres still isn't a lot of land , as far as self sufficiency goes.

i think buying the land together would be too complicated it would be cool if i had a piece of land say maine and two knives kate had land in arizona  and would let other people visit so it could be shared but no legal issues
