I dont think most RV parks are for low income housing. Yes, there are trailer parks and I have seen ones that you may not feel safe during the day much less night. But the RV parks with seasonal sites depends on the owners/caregivers. If they allow the seasonal campers to let their trailer get run down and dingy looking I put all the blamed on them for allowing it. I can understand giving someone a break if they are tight on cash, but when you been to the same place two years in a row and nothing has changed it is all on the management.
I hear ya, but it's not so much even about how it looks, though that is critically important; it's also about the whole culture. I just don't want to go camping in a trailer park. I want to be surrounded by recreational campers and nature.
If a campground can't stay afloat without long term campers thats fine, sell or rent all the spaces you can for as long as you can, just don't advertise the place like it's a recreational campground or maybe separate it and have demarcation between the long term folks and those that are there for recreation for the weekend or week.
I own land and I swear this is making me want to dedicate a piece of it for folks that are strictly recreational camping. If I have to charge a premium because I don't have the income from the long term folks I'm sure there folks out there like me that would be glad to pay top dollar to ensure their family isn't surrounded by a low income housing project.
