Large Family (More than 6) Friendly Camping
Hello, I have 6 children and all 8 of us camp together. As we add more to our family it becomes increasingly difficult to find campgrounds that will accommodate our family. I'm happy to pay extra fees per person, but many places have a hard cap of 6 per site. I have to the best of my ability compiled the regulations of all the State Parks in the country and their occupancy limits if it is more than 6 as that seems to be the norm. Some states did not have rules, or I could not find them, those have a (?). I used the language from the regulations so that's why it may seem inconsistent. I can and will update it as needed. I don't want this thread to get hijacked into the politics of how many people should be permitted on a site and/or kid bashing, I would like instead for other large families to post "Large Family Friendly Locations" below so we have a database of places where we can camp.

Hello, My name is Chris. I live in Central Florida. I just purchased my second camper after 15 years with a Jayco 1206 Pop-Up. Our family of 8 (6 kids) outgrew it and we just purchased a Rockwood 233S. Mostly here to identify large family friend camping as it is a challenge to camp with 6 as a lot of campgrounds will not accommodate us.1.7KViews2likes0Comments
