My only suggestion to OPer.....if you find one, and have to regrade the sites, and can do it, PLEASE put them at an angle ......why are all the parks (or most) having people park their rigs at a 90 degree angle???? That's HARD!!!!!

If you angle the sites, you get less sites per row. You COULD partially overcome the loss of sites by creating more rows with less sites per row, but that would require relocating the roads, the utilities, removing full grown trees, redoing all the landscaping and probably needing to get new permits from the licensing authority. Older parks were built when there were many fewer giants roaming the earth. Angled sites were not an issue when most rigs were 20 foot Scotties, with no slides pulled by the family station wagon. Other than the fact an existing park would have buildings, advertising and a customer base, it is more expensive to completely re-configure an existing park than it is to build one from scratch.
