We have a park model at our seasonal campground. Has two lofts in it, one with a door, but that would really be useful for 2 smaller children who don't spread out a lot. The other loft could fit maybe two more. We built a screened in porch and have curtains up so in a pinch someone could sleep out there (it's 12 by 24) but I can't imagine doing that all the time. Our park model is a Heritage, custom built. Came in cheaper than a Kropf or Woodland Park, and had the floorplan DW wanted. "Best" manufacturers are relative, if $$$ are no object. They all have similar specs. (We had the additional insulation put in ours and have used it in the winter in 20 below weather.) Be prepared to spend at least $50,000 if buying new.
I really think you'd be better off with a bunkhouse style destination trailer, there are models with 4 bunks I believe, and would cost less, with more nooks and crannies for storage. Downside is that they are not built as heavy as they are still designed to be on the road.
forgot to mention: Park models on seasonal campgrounds really tie you to that campground. It's not going to be that cheap to move a park model with skirting, a deck, etc, so if the cost to camp doubles...
They also weigh upwards of 18-20,000 lbs. For us, we had a pad put in so it would not "settle" and creak/crack. Built much more like a house with all that entails. Definitely long-term "investment".
