You will have to comply with various codes and regulations, two major ones being NFPA 1194 Standard for
Recreational Vehicle Parks and Campgrounds (older "free" version here) and NEC article 551. There's likely to be other regs like local enviromental.
NFPA 1194 covers requirements for sanitation (including pipe dia. and slope), potable water, roads, site layouts, water/electrical/sewer locations on a site, fire safety, common washroom/laundry/shower facilities. The NEC covers all electrical requirements for RV Parks, including numbers of 50 & 30 amp sites (40% of a CG is now required to be 50 amps). I can't see building a CG without hiring a consultant & engineering firm who will prepare and submit plans to the local AHJ.
