The 10 year age rule isn't strictly enforced, in my experience. Like other's said, its a way to keep out the people with tarp covered mobile home style campers. They can't say "no trashy campers allowed"... so they say "campers 10 years or newer". I'm perfectly fine with that. Until 3 years ago we had a 17 year old camper. It was a little faded, but in nice condition. We stayed at a $130/night "resort" in Florida one winter that had a 10 year old camper rule... at 15 years old they accepted our money.
By the way.... $1000 a month is right around $34 a night. Out on the east coast, that's a pretty reasonable rate in my opinion. Most campgrounds where we stay are more than that... sometimes TWICE that.
And yes, there are plenty of people with brand new rigs right now so parks can afford to refuse service. Heck, we are staying at a house in Florida right now because our favorite campground is booked full and has a 150% waitlist for the 2nd year in a row. Lots of new campers, cheap full and rising savings funds are fueling a boom in RV'ing right now. Try again in 2 or 3 years when fuel costs rise and the stock market levels off...
