I'm thinking of getting into a seasonal campground in New Jersey. I am well aware of the 10 year old rule. Two campgrounds have shortened up that guideline considerably. One stipulates that your rig cannot be older than 5 years old and the other limits to 3 years old or newer! I understand your campground, your rules but geez? Anybody hear of this before?

10 year rules are virtually every single CG out there. I've seen a HOA around Austin that has a 5 year rule on all cars (anything older gets towed and a $300 "eyesore" fee assessed.)I'm not surprised at a five year rule in a CG... three years is almost insane, because one barely shakes the bugs out of most RVs in that time frame.

I have found CGs with RV age limit rules to allow nicely kept RVs that are beyond the age limit. I had to send a couple of photos of our 20 year old RV to a couple of the time limit resorts. Once they received the photos we were allowed to stay at the resort.

I have found a lot that would give an older rig a pass past the 10 year old limit if it was in good shape. I agree that makes sense because some older rigs are beautiful.These two campgrounds that I've previously mentioned, state NO exceptions!!

Guess I usually stay in state campgrounds. I have never heard of this before. Is this usually a state thing?
