Full tiime site cost

We have our house for sale. We made an offer on some land and hopefully will get to purchase it. We are still trying to decide if we want to do that or live in RV parks. I pretty well have our expenses figured put if we but the land. But i have no idea what monthly rates in an RV park or campground would run.

What is the highest rate tou have seen/paid? What do you consider to be an average rate?

I realize rates will vary a cording to location. But i just want a general idea.

The reason we decided on an RV and not to build is that we are both 77, have family in other states, and thought when one of us passes the other would probably move to where family is. We would have a place to live and only have to deal with selling land. Which, where we live should be fairly easy.
  • We have seen low cost parks around $300 per month with few amenities to over $1500 a month with lots of amenities and great location. ALL long stays tend to add the cost of electricity to the base fee. Running your AC can be very expensive...........

    Really is so dependent upon location, amenities and surrounding tourist/snowbird draw. May you find the perfect spot for you.
  • Park rates vary widely. They can run fron as low as 250 to as much as a thousand a month. Plus electricity. It all depends on amenities, location, and demand. If your going to sit permanently firget an RV and getmeither a park model or a mfg home. Either would give you more room, have better insulation, and be far cheaper.
