The most comprehensive RV park industry dataset ever compiled. Ownership patterns, valuations, contact availability, and market intelligence across all 50 states.
Published March 16, 2026 • Data current as of March 2026
The U.S. outdoor hospitality and manufactured housing market spans multiple property types. RV parks and campgrounds make up the lion's share, but mobile home parks represent a significant — and often overlapping — investment opportunity.
Note: Government-operated parks (national forests, state parks, BLM, military) are tracked for market completeness but excluded from our investor database. Only privately-owned properties are included in subscriber tools.
Park density varies dramatically by state. California and Florida dominate the landscape, but mid-tier states like Michigan, Colorado, and Idaho offer compelling value-add opportunities with less competition.

Based on estimated valuations for 7,958 parks with sufficient data. Values derived from site count, regional rates, occupancy patterns, and comparable sales data.
Over half of all valued parks (54.9%) are estimated under $500,000 — well within reach for creative finance strategies like seller financing and SBA loans. The average estimated value across all parks is $1.2 million, but the median is significantly lower, suggesting a market dominated by smaller, independently-owned properties.
Among parks with known site counts (19,540 parks), the majority are small to mid-size operations — ideal targets for individual investors and small portfolio operators.
The average park has 93 sites. However, the heavy skew toward small parks means most acquisition opportunities are in the 10–50 site range — properties often too small for institutional investors but perfect for owner-operators and creative finance buyers.
Florida dominates the top of the list, driven by year-round demand from snowbirds and long-term residents. These metro areas represent the highest concentration of acquisition targets in the country.
Our dataset covers the vast majority of privately-owned RV parks, campgrounds, and mobile home communities in the United States. Contact data availability varies by state, with Florida and New York having the highest phone coverage due to stronger public records infrastructure.
RV Park World aggregates data from multiple public sources including state licensing databases, OpenStreetMap, Google Places, government registrations, and proprietary web scraping. Data is enriched daily with phone numbers, emails, owner names, and estimated valuations. This is not a static list — it's a living database updated every day.
Data sources include: Florida DOH, California MHPHOA, Michigan EGLE, state campground registries, USCampgrounds.info, NPS, CalARVC, Google Places API, and proprietary enrichment pipelines.
Data collection: Parks are identified through state licensing databases, geographic information systems, and web discovery. Each park is geocoded and categorized by type.
Contact enrichment: Phone numbers, emails, and owner names are sourced from public records, state filings, business registrations, and web scraping. Coverage varies by state.
Valuations: Estimated values are calculated using site count, regional nightly/monthly rates, assumed occupancy rates, and local market cap rates. These are estimates for screening purposes — not formal appraisals.
For-sale detection: Listing sites are scanned weekly for new RV park listings. Parks flagged as for-sale are updated within 24 hours.
Exclusions: Government-operated facilities (national parks, state parks, BLM land, military campgrounds, Corps of Engineers sites) are tracked separately and excluded from the investor-facing database.
