RV Standards

The quality of camping vehicles or recreational vehicles (collectively, “RVs”) in campground can contribute to or detract from the overall experience of all the campers. For this reason, we enforce standards, including but not limited to appearance, on RVs, similar to those in place at many other RV campgrounds. RVs must be operable and in good condition as determined in our discretion.

Age Limit

We do not typically have an age limit for RVs. Please note that “good condition” as required above does not mean “new.”

RV Certification

RVs should have RVIA certification. RVIA certification states the rig complies with certain fire codes, which are important for the safety of our guests. Occasionally, exceptions can be granted by Managers and/or Regional Managers on a case- by-case basis for non-RVIA rigs which seem to conform to safety requirements and are of a design and style compatible with the park. A park model RV, also known as a recreational park trailer, should be certified by the manufacturer and built in accordance with the ANSI code.

Appearance Guidelines

Overall, the RV should look and function as it was originally designed. While we can’t provide a list including every possible scenario, following are a few examples that should be helpful:

  • Doors, shrouds, panels, windows and coverings, etc. should be intact and not unsightly.
  • Exterior should be not unsightly, and should be free of obvious, poorly-repaired damages.
  • Tarps cannot be used for weatherproofing and awnings should be in good condition.
  • Air conditioning units should not be added through the walls or windows.
  • All hoses, wires, etc. should route through ports as originally designed.
  • Exterior should be free of duct tape, repair tape, excessive caulk, etc.

Isolated minor issues are generally acceptable, provided multiple issues aren’t combined to substantially deteriorate the appearance of an RV:

  • Minor body damage which has been properly repaired but is still visible.
  • Fading of decals and/or paint.
  • Minor window cracking, although replacements should be scheduled.
  • Damage from traveling that has just happened, especially if you have a repair plan.
