RV Park Cap Rates in Arkansas
Real capitalization rate data from 70 parks across Arkansas. Understand what the market is actually returning before you write a check.
What This Means for Investors
Arkansas is running hot. An average cap rate of 17.1% is well above the national norm, which signals either underpriced assets, rural markets with strong cash flow, or operators who haven't professionalized revenue. For buyers, that spread is opportunity — find the bottom-quartile operators and you're buying cash flow, not just real estate.
The wide range (5.2%–24.6%) tells the other side of the story: there are parks in this state priced like trophy assets and parks priced like distressed debt. Know which bucket you're bidding on. The highest cap rates typically reflect either management upside or location risk — underwrite both.
With data spread across 25 cities, Arkansas offers enough geographic diversity to be selective. The city breakdown below shows where the cap rate compression is worst and where pockets of yield still exist.
At an average estimated value of $613,975, most Arkansas parks are in reach for individual investors or small syndicates — this isn't a market dominated exclusively by institutional buyers.
