Caught in a donut hole. Do you feel the same?
We are spending a few months in the San Jose area. We found that every rv resort is the same, with one exception (Coyote Valley RV Park). In short, they are not RV resorts but neighborhoods of ru...

What I am missing is if that Coyote Park is so good, why isn't the OP there? If my guess is correct, it has to do with money. And if that is the case, from what it sounds like in the area, the 3 month stay would be the worst possible case for the local parks. Apparently, there is no shortage of demand for long term sites, so why take a three month stay when you could get a year or better?
As for the guy looking at nicer sites while being stuffed in a bad site, are those better sites for daily stays and consequently much more expensive on a daily basis? If the park offers a monthly rate much lower than the daily rate those expensive sites can stay vacant a lot of days each month and still generate more income than the monthly site. I don't know about the demand in the area, but it is likely that the coming holidays might be a popular time for shorter stays and the high income sites could easily be reserved and occupied in the near future.
And on top of everything, this is California. You can bet those run down long term stays are protected by multiple laws. They are almost assuredly protected by landlord/tenant laws and the is likely no way the park could move them out if they wanted to, and there is likely no mechanism that would even allow the park to force them to clean up their act. A great primer on California rental law is the movie "Pacific Heights". It's treatment of landlord/tenant law is much more fact than it is fiction.
