California and the local authorities will have dozens of regulations and requirements relating to the construction of the park. Those will likely dictate the park layout. Among the things that will need to be addressed is the layout and location of any septic treatment plant, the construction, size and layout of the roads including turning radii as well as entry and exits to allow for emergency vehicles. There is likely requirements as to how far away some services can be from the sites (in my state a site without a sewer hookup cannot be more than 300 feet from a restroom). There will also assuredly be subdivision laws that will govern number of sites per acre and minimum separation between pads.
Once you clear the government, you will have to consider slope and drainage of the property. You may have requirements of fencing, of setbacks from boundaries, setbacks from roads etc. Only then can you start planning sites.
as a practical matter, to work with most all RVs a minimum of about 60 feet in length, with 75 more desireable. Widths less than 30 feet are generally considered close together. If you are looking primarily at long term workers you will also need to consid the space nedded 2nd vehicles and work vehicles.
