How to Find Long term RV parks

How do you find a RV park which offers parking either monthly or annual? In California, many RV parks offer only short term (under 30 days) since management prefers seasonal customers or does not want to deal with long term tenants.

First, use the internet search engines using terms such as “long RV park” or “permanent RV park”. Many parks may not have an online presence and the search results varies depending on the area. One option was a park over the mountains which would result in a two hour commute.

Search on craigslist under Real Estate will provide you with additional options. You can also considered putting a post on craigslist to find someone who would let you park in their backyard.

Sometime you can search for mobile home parks. Those mobile home parks, where people supply their own trailers, also have a section for RV fulltimers in most cases. The fulltimers are typically contractors that move somewhere and live there for several months while finishing a job. The process was similar to renting a house or an apartment, credit check, references, deposit.

Many parks have maximum stays of three weeks and moving every other week amongst a limited number of places would get old very quickly.

The California Delta offers many options for long term RV parks with great fishing but with a commute if you are going to San Francisco Bay Area or Sacramento. Long term RV parks like Park Delta Bay will allow you to lease long term as well, allows for a substantial savings over the daily rate.

Make sure your park is safe! Park Delta Bay requires a credit and background check on prospective long term residents for community safety.

      I could not have said it better, this is where I am at! I want to buy an airstream and pay it off before I retire so I know I will have a home. But working I need to be sort of close to my job in Solano Co. Luckily I go to the office once a week. But I also don’t want to be isolated socially. But RV parks are almost non-existent in NorCal. Marin park for a gravel space is $1800. Yikes. This place surreal. I live in SoCal and it is renter and pet friendly.
