Your Outdoor Hospitality Design Firm
Recreational Vehicle Parks and Campgrounds offer many different amenities and experiences. Some people use an RV campground to explore nature, while others use an RV park to live permanently within a community. Meanwhile, an RV resort can provide a more extravagant option overall.
Building a successful RV park, campground or resort requires a deep understanding of land planning, including optimal site layout and usage.
Will your guests live in their mobile homes in long-term RV Parks? Will your guests expect to use amenities like a clubhouse, hot tub or laundry services? Or will your guests want to be one with nature where their RV sites are secluded? These questions will help inform the design and planning of your RV Parks and Campgrounds.
How to Design and Build Your Own RV Park
Whether it’s a small, 1 acre or 2 acre RV park layout design or one that spans many acres, there are a few key land planning steps to ensure its success and long-term viability.
For every project, it’s critical to start with a site inspection. It’s a chance for our team to familiarize ourselves with the site, but it’s also essential to determine whether the project is even feasible with the land.
Outdoor Hospitality and Amenity Design
You may think of hundreds of features to include in the design while building or renovating an RV park, campground or resort. However, not everything will be feasible in the long run.
Here again, you should seek the help of an RV park and campground consultant to gain insight into the key features that will fit your budget and fetch optimum ROI.
A lot of RV trailers are equipped with some type of makeshift shower or restroom, but that doesn’t mean people wouldn’t want better facilities. Many RV campers will consider halting at an RV park for longer if it has proper bathrooms and showers.
But instead of installing a basic setup, you may consider building hot showers, especially for the colder months. And this will require proper drainage and power supply amenities.
If you plan to build a bathroom, or shower (or both), you should install opaque walls, a roof, and a lockable door at the very minimum to take care of the privacy of campers. Plus, arrangements should be made to clean them regularly.
Perhaps, one of the best ways to utilize the greenery (large trees, in particular) in the RV park is to turn them into multi-purpose fixtures. For instance, you may rent out hammocks to hang on the branches to serve as temporary beds. Other than that, you can use them as natural “space breakers” between the vehicles.
Depending on the overall campground layout, you can always plant more trees to use them how you want. Look for varieties that survive harsh weather conditions without requiring much maintenance so that you don’t have to invest a lot of time and effort to nurture them.
There’s no denying that this is the era of online connectivity, and there’s no reason why RV parks and campgrounds should be left out! Now, you don’t have to invest in a very elaborate setup to offer blazing fast internet speed; a stable WiFi connection with a good upload/download speed can suffice.
In this regard, I’d suggest placing the router (or similar access point) in the center of the campground, where it will have maximum unobstructed reach. Beyond that, position WiFi extenders throughout the site strategically to help boost connectivity.
Food and water are among the most basic and necessary amenities that RV parks and campgrounds can provide.
Depending on the available space, resources, and of course, budget, you can either build a kitchen or hire food trucks, which will operate at specific times of the day. Apart from that, you can arrange for DIY cooking spots.
Similarly, you can install taps, spigots, or hoses to provide clean drinking water to campers. This is especially required if the campsite is located in a remote area with no convenience store or supermarket in the vicinity. However, keep adequate waste bins to keep the site clean at all times.

Yes, we have extensive experience with the approval process and legislation in many US states and Canadian Provinces.
A few safety considerations include keeping the RV sites within an acceptable side and cross-slope (essential to proper RV setup & safety); having proper operational site lines and vehicular traffic calming / circulation (critical to campground user safety); appropriate lighting and wayfinding (also critical to user comfort and safety); and proper septic utility separation and code-compliant infrastructure is key to public health and safety.
