Adult ONLY RV parks. ?

A federal court ruling affirmed that RV parks or campgrounds fall under Fair Housing regulations. That means a park or campground can't have a "no children" policy. They can restrict children if they fall under one of the 4 exemptions. 1. 55+, which still isn't completely restricting children. 2. Clothing optional. 3. Fraternal or religious non-profit organization where use is restricted by membership contract. 4. If activities are occurring openly and without restrictions where children would be prohibited by law from attending.

RV parks and campground do have the right under federal regulations (states may say otherwise) to use creative space arraignments to keep areas kinda separated so long as they are not reducing the services or quality to those with children and not turning anyone with children away.

I am not familiar with any 55 plus parks in Wyoming or Montana. What you can do is look for parks with minimum facilities for children, extra fees for more than 2 guests per site and other things that might not be attractive for families. A lot of parks in these states (mine included) are what can best be described as family tolerant, rather than family friendly. No playgrounds, no pools, no game rooms or arcades, no campfires, not bargain priced, and will tell you that there isn't a lot for children to do in the park if you ask. Personally, we are fine with the KOAs in the area taking in the families and leaving the traveling adults to us.

Hi thanks.... very good advice. Thats really what i want anyway. I dont care about pools and all those extra things. ALL i want is a quiet place to sit outside and take in the fresh air and listen to the wind in the trees. PERFECT !

Spent 7 weeks in Oregon Sate Parks this past summer. Lots of kids, but very quiet in the evenings. Only complaint we had was no one gave us a dog when we entered, we felt so out of place without one!

Hi thanks for your responses. NO i am not looking for nudist places. HAHAHA ! I guess thats what adults only sounded like. sorry about that.

what i am looking for is peace and quiet. I dont have kids and i am just looking for places that
are geared towards the retirement crowd. I have turned up a few places but i was wondering about others.

I know there are likely not alot of places... but i thought i would ask. i guess i'll be boondocking alot in national forests and such.

Thanks for the advice.... i'll check 55 plus on the search.

Search for "lake Tyee" It is located near Concrete Wa. north of Highway 20.
very nice remote camping Village.

Lake Tyee

Kids can be noisy but most of the time they are just playing. Usually interesting.

Go to rvparkreviews and click on search, one check box is for 55 and over. Those places are very depressing.

Most adult only are geared for winter use. Summer use are geared for families. Your best best in the West is to use national forest campgrounds or find some good boondocking spots. Still not strictly for adults but better than a RV park with a pool! :)

As annoying as kids can be, I can't imagine going to a campground without seeing kids. Maybe just the thought of the +55 campgrounds with no kinds makes me face reality just how old I'm getting! I'll hang out with the children a bit longer.
