New to owning an RV park? Start here
Never run a park before? This guide walks the whole process in order — permits and licenses, sites and hookups, rates and rules, taking bookings, hiring help, the camp store, and your first 90 days — with links to the SBA, the IRS, the EPA, and the industry's own magazines, every one checked.
For park owners
Day-to-day help for running a steadier, calmer park — from filling quiet weeks to opening the gate for a first season.
Filling sites in the slow season
Make quieter weeks work harder with long stays, fair pricing, regulars, and a better plan for weekdays.

RV parks and campgrounds of every kind are the heart of camping — family-run independents with their own character, and the names campers already know. Type your ZIP code or town, or use your location, and we will put the parks closest to you first.
Most cards link straight to the park's own website — that is where you will find their rates and book your stay. A card with a "Call to book" button belongs to a park that takes reservations by phone instead, and the number is right on the card. Camp Orbit does not take bookings for these parks; we just think campers should know about them.
All parks, A–Z by state
Distances are straight-line miles from the center of the ZIP code or town you enter, and park spots are the centers of the towns the parks are in or near — close enough to plan a trip, not a driveway measurement. Town locations from OpenStreetMap contributors; ZIP code lookups by Zippopotam.us.
