It depends on the area of the Country as to how receptive or prohibitive in building an RV park.
In Tn, in a rural county near a popular stream, starting twenty years ago, a Fellow who worked for TVA had his own dozer and few pieces of equipment from his farm.
He built to pads at a time himself.
The ultimate design included planning the electrical grid with is a big expense.
He did the work himself and had it reviewed.
The septic system, if a pumped system is easier to get approved but takes a lot of effort to keep it pumped and costs.
He laid out his own septic drain field which was about twice the size of the park. The tanks were near the pads under concrete with access sealed access covers.
Many Rural Folks build their own homes and septic, everything so it is not like hitting a wall of doom and gloom doing such projects.
He is long departed but his kids took over. However it may be a big parking lot today. I haven't been in the area in a long time.
Well executed quality RV Parks are welcome in any areas. They bring in a lot of outside money for stores, fuel stations,and recreational businesses and activities and TAXES.
Fifteen to twenty thousand per lot or space seems a good number.
With good upkeep someone could make a lot of money over time.
A poor quality gravel mud hole will bring lower revenues and occupancy.
Twenty thousand, lets say for a big pad/patio landscaping etc.
Thirty five bucks per night, 95% occupancy even 100% in this part of the Country near a good stream or lake.
Roughly 900.00 per month maybe.
Electricity, 50.00 per month average, let's say.
Taxes, 50.00 a month, is high.
Fifty spaces x900.00 = 45,000.00 month gross income.
2,500 for electricity maybe.
2,500.00 for taxes.
Maintenance, by four might be able to keep it a ten thousand am month.
There is cleaning, mowing, unclogging customers sewers etc on 20 acres, plus watch your store.
You might be the only supplies in miles.
If you net 30,000.00 a month before the income tax man that's not bad on a million dollar to a million and quarter investment.
There is no printing press available. It requires hard work and staying out of debt. Not using the banks except as necessary. They become your partner your boss.
