I would think that a mobile home park may be more lucrative than an RV park. You have year-round use, more predictable income, and less manpower to keep it running. There's no dump station needed, no showerhouse, perhaps even no office needed. There might be some affordable housing state aid programs available to help develop it in some cases.
At least here in Vermont, the design and permitting for a sewage system for a campground would start to approach an extensive investment in itself, to mention nothing of its installation. It would likely be simpler if municipal sewer is available and had sufficient capacity.
As for "tiny homes", I am still waiting for someone to post links to actual tiny home communities. A few RV parks and mobile home parks have changed their names to try and capture that supposed market, but I haven't seen one yet that is actually a community of those homes. Until proven otherwise, I will continue to believe "tiny homes" as a movement exists only on Television. Yes, there probably is a movement away from McMansions to more reasonable sized homes, but that is a switch from 3000 - 5000 sq ft to 1000-2000 sq ft. Smaller, yes. But hardly meeting the definition of a tiny home.
Tiny homes?like these maybe
