RV (Recreational Vehicle) Parks and Campgrounds

NAICS 721211 · Accommodation · SBA size standard: $10 million average annual receipts

RV parks and campgrounds manage reservations for RV sites with full hookups, dry tent sites, and basic cabins across nightly, weekly, and monthly stays. For an operation handling a mix of short-term and long-term bookings with seasonal peaks, the specialists turn inquiries into confirmed reservations, reservations into site assignments and maintenance plans, usage data into restocking and billing, while site rules, utility readings, fire restrictions, and local permit requirements stay with the manager.

What makes this business different

  • Reservations with many variables (site type, length of stay, hookup level, number of occupants, pets, and arrival equipment) that must be captured exactly
  • Seasonal demand with peak summer booking windows, winter closures, and holiday rate tiers
  • Site turnover preparation including utility resets, landscaping, waste servicing, and cleaning between guests
  • Real-time availability accounting for early departures, late checkouts, maintenance holds, and weather closures
  • Utility meter readings for electricity, water, and sewer at checkout for metered sites
  • Enforcement of campground rules on generators, quiet hours, fire bans, pet limits, and occupancy at booking and on-site
  • Repeat guests who book the same site yearly, loyalty notes, and group block reservations for rallies or events
  • Local and seasonal permits, health inspections, septic records, and fire restriction notices that change by jurisdiction
