RV Parks

RV parks, or recreational vehicle parks, are an increasingly institutionalized niche within the broader hospitality and outdoor recreation real estate landscape. They offer transient or extended-stay accommodation for travelers and long-term residents, generating income from nightly rentals, long-term leases, and ancillary amenities like utilities, laundry, and convenience retail.

As land-based hospitality assets, RV parks combine operating income with significant underlying land value. They are typically located near highways, tourist destinations, or growing exurban areas, benefiting from America’s expanding RV ownership base—now exceeding 11 million households—and rising demand for affordable, mobile lifestyles.

From a development standpoint, RV parks appeal for their relatively low construction costs, flexible layouts, and ability to integrate with adjacent uses such as cabins or glamping sites. Investors are drawn to their stable cash flow, inflation resilience, and optionality: well-located RV parks can evolve into mixed-use outdoor resorts or manufactured housing communities over time.
