Park Delta Bay welcomes tiny houses which are RVIA certified. Currently, the tiny house portion of the community consists of thirteen homes.  Another sixty spaces mostly on the east side sport RVs and trailers.  All told, about 80 people live full-time in the park. The park has a community room, tennis courts, swimming pool, lush green lawns, and fishing docks on the San Joaquin River.

The community offers a relaxed country lifestyle situated close to the urban centers of the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento.

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 tiny house residents make our park their permanent home. Our vision is to form a grassroots community of tiny houses. Together, we can live tiny and be part of a big community.

Q: I have an RV. Are lots available if I don’t have a tiny house?
A: Yes. Currently, there are more RVs than tiny houses. We love custom RV’s. You’re tiny too!

Q: What’s included in the lot fee?
A: The lot fee includes water, sewer, landscaping for common areas, trash collection. Electric is billed separately. See our rate sheet for details.

Q: Do tiny houses have to be on wheels at the park?
A: Yes. As an RV park, we are zoned for recreational vehicles on trailers. Shipping containers and tiny houses on foundations does not meet this criteria.

Q: Does my tiny house have to be RVIA compliant?
A: Yes. The tiny house should be certified to meet RVIA standard or equivalent, and registered with the DMV.

Q: I built my tiny house myself. Can I still park my home at the park?
A: Yes, but we require RVIA certification or the equivalent to make sure that the structure is in compliance with regulations for the park’s zoning ordinance.

Q: Can I build a tiny home while living at the park?
A: No. Our insurance does not permit residents to build tiny houses at the park at this time.

Q: Okay. I want to park my tiny house at the park. What’s the process?
A: The first step in the process is to call us at 916-777-5588 and complete the rental application ($39.99 fee) at Cozy.co, a rental screening service with credit and background check. We have an occupancy limit of two persons, two vehicles, and two pets per site. We will need to know the date you would like to arrive at the park, the size of your tiny house, as well as its utility hookup requirements. If you are still dreaming about going tiny, it might be a little early to reserve a site. The park is unable to predict lot availability in the far future and we already have waiting lists for sites.
