RV Park & Campground Development Plans

An RV park is one of the highest-yield land plays in hospitality — but it lives or dies on the site plan. Pad count, pull-through geometry, hookup placement, roads and setbacks decide both your nightly revenue and whether the project passes review. We design the whole site to maximize pads without sacrificing the guest experience.

Developing a full-hookup RV pad typically runs about $15,000–$50,000 each in 2026 before amenities, so pad count and phasing drive the entire pro forma. A clear, permit-minded site plan is what makes the numbers real and the project financeable.

Plan for zoning and utilities early

RV parks face specific zoning, density and health-department rules for hookups and wastewater. We plan the layout permit-minded from day one so pad count and utilities hold up through review.

Frequently asked questions

How many pads can you plan?+

From a small 10-pad park to 100+ resort-scale sites. Larger parks are scoped and phased individually.

Do you design the hookups and utilities?+

Yes — pad electrical (30/50A), water and sewer hookups, plus site utility runs and stormwater are all planned and shown.

Can it include cabins or glamping units?+

Yes — many parks mix RV pads with cabins or glamping units for higher nightly rates. We plan the blended site.

Do you handle zoning and permits?+

We design the layout permit-minded and include permit planning documentation; local zoning and health approvals are handled with your jurisdiction, and we prepare everything to make it smooth.
