RV parks without park models that rent space?

We are looking for private RV parks with FHU that aren't filled with park models, or that are trying to sell the lots. Any finds? There are a couple of places selling lots that we have found, but they are selling and likely won't be available to us short-term renters for long... When I say short term, I mean for a month or two at a time. We are especially interest4ed in Florida, Arizona or the west coast. This post is not asking for state parks, COE paks or membership camping suggestions. Thanks!

    Outdoor Resorts in either Palm Springs or Indio California. The park won't try to sell you a lot, since they are all sold. An individual might have a site for sale. Individual owners rent out sites either directly online or through the rental office at the park.. No park models there either. Be prepared to spend $1500 to $3000 a month.
    There will be plenty of parks where there are no privately owned sites or site sales. Geographically, those states are the most likely to have substantial numbers of park models. Just the demographics. KOAs will probably have less park models than other parks. Towns off the beaten path, along the major roads will have more transient sites and less long term sites. Those states are snowbird country. If you go north, you will find the vast majority of the parks meet your requirements.
  • Check out this Tucson Arizona park. They have two sections. One for park models and manufactured homes, and the other for short to medium duration RV usage. We always recommend that family and friends with RVs stay here:

    You will have to do a search on CG's in the are in which you want to stay and then call and ask how many residents they have in their park.

    They normally don't list in their advertisements how many seasonal or permanent residents they have in their park.

    It's what I do so I know I will have nice quiet time during my stay in that Cg.


    But Good Sam does on there search engine example :
