Campgrounds and length of stay

To summarize

City, County, State, Federal CG - 14 days is most common max length of stay

Private CG - many welcome month or longer stays.

Electricity is usually metered and billed separately in month long stays, but week long stays with metered electricity is coming more common.

If you want to stay for a month or longer - always talk to the CG in advance.

Some exceptions exists - in the winter or slow seasons - some state and federal (and local government) campgrounds in some areas do allow longer stays than 14 days.

Arizona state parks have some winter season rates. So do a few in Texas.

COE parks in Texas normally have full winter residents. Even many COE parks in southern Oklahoma which are 'closed' from 1 Oct - 31 Mar - allow winter campers - electricity is on, but no water available except at one frost free faucet per CG. No sewer connections are available either.

Salt Springs USFS Campground in Florida has several months allowed in the winter.

In private campgrounds you can usually stay as long as you want. However, if you have not reserved your site for your entire stay, they may have someone reserve your site and you may have to move.

Most State and Federal Campgrounds including COE, have a 14 day limit. Some premium sites may have shorter stays. The shortest we've seen were all lakeside sites and they were posted 7 day maximum.

Most private campgrounds welcome long term stays but you have to pay for your electricity separate......Dennis

Depends on what kind of campground. Most NFS campgrounds have a 14-day limit, bur private campgrounds can write their own rules.

It's a personal choice. Some stay put, others may move monthly or even more often. First timers generally move about trying to find that perfect place, then settle down.

You generally can stay the entire length of your time on one site. Assuming you have reservations for that time.
