One rule…….. no women allowed . Only a couple scheduled times a year can they come. This means wives or strippers. Nobody wants to go the the camp to hear your old lady bitch and complain.
This is a solid rule

She does...they all do. It is in their DNA. Nothing sets them off like seeing a man enjoying himself while not doting on them.
A bunch of us were sitting around the marina one evening after fishing, smoking cigars and drinking beer...in other words doing just about the best thing known to man with your clothes on. One of the dudes there had sold a bait freezer to another dude there and the thing had tripped a GFCI and you could smell it a mile away with the door closed. The wife of the guy that bought it was PISSED off about that freezer. Kept on about it, telling the man who sold it he as anything other than a son of god. He finally had enough and said "Hell, if I wanted to listen to a count run her mouth I could stay at the house.....". Complete silence. She asker her husband "are you going to put up with that???". Husband replied "he didn't call ME a count, he called you a count because youre acting like a count". She took to that man like a spider monkey....you ain't ever seen the like of it....I mean like a wild animal...leapt over 2 picnic tables longways to get at him...almost like the Alabama lady taking to the Oklahoma fans but way more athletic! We got them separated about the time the police showed up. They were divorced in about 90 days. Women and boats can be a bad mix....

Partnering with friend(s) on a camp/boat
As for the boat. Partnering with people who could afford the boat and maintenance on their own but prefer not to can work and is a good way to disperse costs. Way more cost effective for, say, 3 people to own one boat than for each of them to own their own boat. The key is in selecting partners who will be responsible, understand the costs (including unexpected costs), and will be prompt in paying their share.
Partnering with other people because one or more of you couldn't afford the boat on their own is a recipe for disaster. You'll use the partnership as an excuse to buy more boat than you can afford and the disputes over maintenance and repairs are inevitable.
I've been in a few boat partnerships and all of them have gone quite smoothly.

I share a boat with 3 others and it works well for us. We all live about 5 hours from the boat and that helps. Nobody dominates the use of the boat so it works well for our group. Last user leaves boat clean and full of gas for next user

You could always purchase a camp and have it as a rental to offset costs.

Definitely don't share anything with friends like this. JFC.

Guy 4 hasn't paid dues in 2 years so good luck to Guy 2 collecting his $7 to cover the battery.
Guy 4 would be shown the door unless he's doing a lot of the maintenance himself and sparing the others to offset not paying his share of dues.
I've seen a few friends wind up not being friends over partnerships of this nature.

I've bought a couple thousand acres, camp, lake house, a few boats, numerous dogs and all kinds of other shite with 2 of my good friends. Never had a single issue. The key is everyone having the money to afford the upkeep on what you're purchasing.

Me and two of my life long best friends went in 1/3rds to buy a 22’ Blazer Bay back in 2016. Took us 3.5 years to pay it off, and we also started a separate bank account that we’d each put in $50/mo to create an “oh shite” nest egg. We’d use that account to pay for things that break, maintenance, and the occasional upgrade.
We all went in knowing what to expect from each other. If you’re on the boat without another owner and something breaks, it’s your responsibility type-of-thing. But also with the understanding that shite happens.
I couldn’t have had a better experience with our decision. Lots of people around us told us we were doomed and that the partnership would fall apart, but we had a great time.
Now the boat is paid off and we enjoy it even more!

We left it clean because cleaning a boat on the way to the hill and at the slip is part and parcel of running a boat offshore....but we filled it up when leaving the hill and returned it with whatever gas was in when we got back...because we didn't want 100 plus gallons of fuel sitting in storage any length of time...plus whoever happened to be using it knew it was full and wasn't relying on a fuel gauge that could be a lying SOB only to be discovered 10 miles from the hill.....

neither my friend nor his friend had any say so in what went on. the only option was if my friend paid $40k to buy out the other half. no one has money like that just laying around to do something like that. this was just a 2 man partnership, so you can see where when you get 4 to 5 partners, all it takes is for any one partner getting a divorce, and everyone is screwed.
How can she take the other guys half that’s some horseshite. Especially since she cheated on the guy. At worst her husbands half was worth 40k and she gets half of that for a 20k buyout
I guess the other guys name wasn’t on the property? That’s the only way this makes sense

Now that’s a true friend there

I split a gator tail boat with my neighbor and it has been one of best decisions I have made.
However it isn’t the primary boat that either of us use. He has one and I have another so that boat is primarily for when it’s needed.
Not positive it’s something that I would do if circumstances were different

Track all expenses and who pays for what. Send that spreadsheet out to all members quarterly. This plainly shows whos paying how much and how often. At end of year if someone isn't carrying their weight talk to them about covering their percentage of the cost or coach them out of the membership.
I just buy what I need when I need it and log it onto the OneDrive spreadsheet that everyone sees. Come hunting season when big expenses come across the lazy ones must nut up and fork out some money to cover their laziness all year. Otherwise we talk them out of the membership because they are a bitch.

I’m in one at T Bend. Draw up LLC Create extensive list of managing practices to protect all involved. I’m a weekday guy he’s a weekend warrior the togetherness is limited. No sharing of boats was a must for me . Biggest pro is splitting initial buy and operating costs. I wouldn’t hesitate to do it if the partner is right person.

The only camp "partnership" I've personally seen succeed was simple:
Super Rich friend owns a sweet camp, good friends pitch in, help keep things tidy, bring plenty of food and booze and get invited back every time they go. Lousy friends show up with a 6 pack and don't help cook/clean tend to not get invited back.
no spreadsheet needed

Find rich friends who are too busy to use camp. Our mutual friend is not that guy.
