Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 10-year rule for RV parks?
The “10-year rule” is a policy that some RV parks have in place, stating that they don’t allow RVs older than 10 years. The reasoning is usually related to aesthetics and maintaining a certain standard of appearance within the park. However, it’s not a universal rule, and many parks don’t enforce it, especially if your older RV is well-maintained. Always check with the specific campground beforehand.
How much do RV parks cost per month?
Monthly RV park costs can vary widely depending on location, amenities, and time of year. In general, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $1500+ per month. Parks with more amenities like pools, laundry facilities, and organized activities will typically be on the higher end of the price range. Popular tourist destinations often have higher rates as well. It’s always best to contact the RV park directly for current pricing.
Can you live in an RV park permanently in California?
Yes, you can live in an RV park permanently in California, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Some cities or counties have regulations limiting the length of stay in RV parks, so it’s essential to research the local laws. Additionally, some parks may not allow permanent residents. If you find a park that does allow long-term stays, be sure to understand their rules and regulations regarding residency.
