ruuning a business like a snack bar or massage out of RV?

Well, if you paid the right people enough money, you can probably do anything! But, I've never seen what you're asking about done in any campground... ever.

thanks, for all the quick replies. that's kind of what i was guessing. i'm used to living in Thailand where you can do anything you want any where you want. i have to remember the rest of the world isn't like that.

I doubt that any State or National Park would allow any kind of commercial activity in a family campground, and I'd be willing to bet the private commerial parks are not going to allow it either. First of all, for food business just about anywhere, you'd have to get health dept inspections etc. Most localities would probably want you to get some kind of business license (Pedlars license etc), and if you try it without asking in the State/National Parks you'll probably quickly get shut down by the Park Rangers.

Good luck. Most places generally have their own concessions and won't want the competition. Definitely check with each state and campground you are looking at. All with have their own rules and licensing.

If you plan to run a snack bar/restaurant you would have to contact each CG. They would be under the regulations of the local municipality or state.
As for the massage, probably the same.

not allowed
