This same post comes up about three times a year and there are always a bunch of "lemmings" who jump in and state....I'll never camp there...I'll vote with my wallet. Instead, how about making an informed decision about a campground rather than listen to someone else who doesn't have a clue.
To start, most RV parks require the RV have an RVIA sticker that says the RV meets Federal and State standards for SAFETY in regards to plumbing, electrical etc. This requirement gives the RV park a starting point to make sure the RV's they're allowing are safe and won't burn down injuring the owners and people camping next to them.
Many states ALSO require campgrounds to follow the same rules, when it comes to evictions, as owners who rent apartments and houses must follow. Soooooo, if they allow a rolling meth lab into the campground and get stuck with it, they could end up having the piece of junk there for months during an eviction process.
Consequently, the 10 year rule is often used as a TOOL, not as a discriminatory practice.
For those who stated, maybe the rig should be paid for before being allowed in, maybe you forget, that even people with nice or expensive RV's didn't just magically appear. Most started with smaller rigs and graduated as they got older. So that statement is worse than the ten year rule and sounds a little like RV envy. We started out camping in a small camper shell in the 70's, a truck camper in the 80's and a Class C in the 90's. We eventually worked up to a Class A gasser and after 35 years of work, sometimes two jobs, we bought a DP.
