RV Campground Question

I didn't see any connections as the park isn't built yet. I saw the architect's drawing submitted to the city for construction and it plainly showed a "propane" labeled line throughout the park with "stub out's" at each site. It could very well be for grills, but I don't know. As soon as I can ask the architect, I will. I was just curious. Thanks for the comments.

Just what did you see that led you to believe it is a propane connection? What does a propane connection at a site look like?

Are you sure it is propane, not natural gas? Are you sure it is even an RV park and not a mobile home community? Either way, the logical assumption would be metered gas service. Meters would not be set until construction is complete. In the case of an RV park, the likely end user would be park models.

So far never seen that up here in our highly regulated northeast, add hard winters as another possible reason. Makes sense about park models.

One other possibility, Is this area one where wood fires are frowned upon? Maybe they are looking at rental propane fire pits.

I'm not really sure where to post this, so I'll start here. My question is about propane availability in campgrounds. A new RV park is being developed locally and they are installing propane connections at each site. I understand the pros and cons but I've never seen this before. Has anyone run across propane access like this?

Maybe avoid all the speculation and just stop in and ask - as a future, curious customer.

Long term leases are the goal it appears here.

I stayed at a campground that had propane piped to the sites, connected to a grill that was a permanent part of the site.
