Rates In Florida

Rent controls on Mobile Home parks are pretty common. RV Parks do not fall under the same rules/controls. They charge what they can get. Go to Rapid City during Sturgis and check out the rates in all the surrounding communities for that month!! We had to show our SD DL to get the "locals" rates....Dennis

There's no property taxes on the water in your slip. And they don't have to pay anyone to mow the grass... :B

Campgrounds in the Keys raised their rates and are overflowing (waitlist only) due to two major campgrounds closing this year. Land prices apparently are more lucrative than a RV park, at least in the FL Keys! We checked out one "promising" location between Key West and Marathon this month ... minimal 24 feet (our Lance is 20.9') and $4,500/MONTH! YIKES! And I thought Boyd's was expensive at $3K/month.

State parks are the same year round. Private parks raise their rates due to special events like concerts, season etc. No such laws govern private park rates.

I bet no state has such a law

The last thing we need is price control, on anything. If a CG raises the prices, find another CG.
