Using golf carts around RV parks

Will you be able to use it enough to "justify" the cost? Most likely not. Is it worth it? For us, absolutely yes.

Its part of RVing for us. Maybe half the places we go to allow a golf cart. But the ones that do, we really enjoy having it; especially Fort Wilderness at Disneyworld.

Remember. Probably 75% of the people with RVs don't use their RVs enough to justify the cost. But that's in terms of just money. We do it anyway because we enjoy it. If all we were looking for was a cost justification, most of us would stay in hotels.

We traded our DP and bought a small Toy Hauler to cut down on expense and haul our new EZ-GO TXT gas golfcart and our new kayak. We stay at state parks for the most part using our golf cart to get around. It is also equipped to haul our kayak to the water.

How about this compromise...just a thought.

Hard to answer. I've been in quite a few RV parks where golf carts have been used. But I can't say what the overall utility of the cart would be. You may have times where it is useless and then a time where it is perfect for the location. Suggest calling around to places you may be interested in and inquire. Maybe get a used cart with potential to sell without much depreciation if it proves underused. Also, from experience, bicycles are almost universally OK. And quite useful in many areas. Especially if equipped with rack or something you can carry stuff on.

In some parks, any vehicle used on the roads must be street legal, registered and have a license plate.
I don't know about other States, but here in order to be registered and licensed, the vehicle must have high/low beam headlights, a tail light, a brake light, license plate light, and a horn.
My ATVs are street legal and licensed. (NO, I can not ride them on the roadways of a state that does not allow them on the roads!)

What's in the TH?

Depends a lot on the Rv parks you most frequent. Most of those we stay at are not large enough for a golf cart to be much benefit unless you need one just to get around. If you often stay at very large parks and just want to cruise, then I suppose so.

I think it depends on what you determine is enough usage. If you need it to help get around due to age or ailment then perhaps it will be a good investment. If you plan on using to go to the camp store or other amenities in lieu of a short walk, then probably not. If you want it to just go round and round and round, then you can get your monies worth, especially if you join the daily and nightly parade of other campers doing the same thing.

If you're handicapped, probably yes.
