A TINY HOUSE COMMUNITY THRIVES IN THE HEART OF THE CALIFORNIA DELTA!

PARK DELTA BAY RV & TINY HOUSE RESORT

Nestled just below sea level on the banks of the San Joaquin River, Park Delta Bay RV & Tiny House Resort serves as home to a dozen owner-occupied or tenanted tiny houses. Known as Northern California’s first legal tiny house community, the Park also provides long- and short-term or vacation parking to RVs, trailers, and other certified moveable dwellings. On site, the park maintains cabins for weekend rental to vacationers on a nightly, weekly, or monthly basis. Two of the park’s rows on the east side have been set aside for in-and-out RV and trailer campers during the summer season, who also have access to the park’s central corridor.

In that central space, the Park offers communal amenities, including tennis courts; a lovely swimming pool with Tiki bar, tables, and sunshades; and a clubhouse with a community room, accessible restrooms and showers, and laundry facilities. Staff maintains the common grounds, including the beautiful, full-growth trees and lush meadow areas.

Each long-term resident has a full lot with individual stations for water, electricity, and sewer hook-up. Monthly lot fees include use of the common areas, water connection, and sewer. Long-term residents pay their own electricity and maintain their own lots. Throughout the park, visitors can enjoy the sight of decks, gardens, and lounging areas built by tiny house and RV dwellers to augment their small indoor living areas with outside space in the three-season mild weather.
The park spans nearly 15 acres. Tiny House Row sits on the levee side of the west end, comprising a long stretch of a quarter-mile interior gravel road that circles a beautiful meadow, at the far end of which residents maintain a community garden. Inside the community room, residents have also built a lending library, communal cooking facilities, and a movie viewing area alongside the park’s impeccably maintained pool table.

The current owners of the park envisioned a community with comfortable quarters for tiny house dwellers. Residents have taken that dream and created a home, broad enough to welcome all tiny dwellers and to include casual campers, who often join community events in the clubhouse. The original vision has come to fruition, under the tall trees, alongside the creek, on the river banks, in the sweet, cool air of the California Delta.

Interested persons may contact the office at 916-777-5588 to discuss reserving a lot, or to be put in contact with tiny house dweller Corinne Corley, who will gladly share her delight at having landed at Park Delta Bay RV & Tiny House Resort nearly seven years ago when she moved to California from her home state in the Midwest.

FAQ

Q: Can I legally park my tiny house?
A: Yes.

Q: Can tiny housers live in the park year-around?
A: Absolutely! Tiny house residents may enjoy the park for any length of stay, and we would love to see many more tiny house residents make our park their permanent home. We have a grassroots community of tiny houses, with twelve at present. Most are owner-occupied. Together, we can live tiny and be part of a big community.

A: The lot fee includes water, sewer, landscaping for common areas, trash collection. Electric is billed separately. See our rate sheet for details.
