The RV Park Industry Is Booming—Here’s Why
The pandemic changed many things for Americans. It ignited record sales of RVs, as people sought to spend more time outdoors while enjoying all the comforts of home.
In 2021, it seemed everyone wanted to buy an RV of some type and go exploring. Also, the phenomenon of working remotely became the norm for many workers. When we work remotely, it doesn’t really matter where we are, as long as there is a good Wi-Fi signal. RV parks can be as good as anywhere else for working remotely. Many remote workers found RV living to be ideal for work and play.
As more people got into RVing, campgrounds struggled to keep up with the unprecedented demand for campsites. In 2021, campsite shortages became a real challenge for many RVers. RV parks responded by expanding existing facilities to have more RV sites available. Landowners realized that developing their land into amazing RV parks would meet a market need and could be very lucrative.
Another thing that RV campgrounds started doing was adding unique or luxury accommodations for those who want to get away, but don’t happen to have an RV. These accommodations are mainly used by RVers who want to enjoy visiting and camping with their family and friends who don’t have an RV.
Non-RV camping at RV parks can be glamping yurts and tents, treehouses, or quaint cabins. It gives some great choices for those who want to enjoy making great memories with a camping experience.
There is no doubt RV parks that offer these additional accommodations have a distinct competitive advantage over RV parks that offer RV parking only.

It is not at all complicated. There’s no place like home and RV is the closest that you can come to being at home but also with a change of scenery. RVs can best facilitate a merger of both these worlds. This was true before COVID and it will remain so afterwards. COVID merely prompted more people than before to look into the advantages that have been intrinsic to the RV experience all along.
Gas prices may influence us to roam closer to home base more often than we have in the past. But as many of us have known for a long time, one need not wander all that far from home base to enjoy the feeling of refreshment that can result from modest changes to our daily routine and scenery. Even brief sojourns are far better than none. RVs help make such enjoyment possible for everyone. We have historically been a mobile society.
A growing number of people are simply adapting to the times. Cause and effect. Growing RV popularity is an effect. We may see another effect occur in November ’22.
You can be sure that these new campgrounds were on the drawing board long before the pandemic. It takes quite a long time to get permitted to build an RV park and that is assuming you can get city water and sewer connections.
A lot of people,bought RVs this year because we no longer trust traveling with the airlines. The airlines have been forcing people to wear the suffocating Satanic NWO PLANdemic masks AND now their pilots are dangerous to fly with because they have all been vaccinated with the clot shots. Also, the cruise lines are trapping people on boats and not letting them off all because of this ridiculous psyop that was engineered solely for $ and population reduction through these lethal injections they are calling “vaccines”. That is why many of us that are awake to all the Covid BS are buying RVs.
Apparently you have never worked at a job site or seen a job site where people are required to wear PPE (personal protection equipment) PPE protects the worker from injury and death. Auto mobile seatbelts, safety glasses, gloves, steel toe boots, hard hats, fall harness, etc. People who rebelled against wearing mask are selfish, inconsiderate, ignorant and rebellious.
Agree 100% on all counts!
I personally saw what covid did to my next door neighbor who has now passed away. The first three days from me having covid is something you wouldn’t want to experience. There are many of us who have medical issues and the masks saved our lives. Your view on “lethal injections” is not only insane, but a selfish way of thinking. I enjoy living full-time in my 24-ft travel trailer. Our rv park had three residents die from covid. Sitting close to someone on a plane without a mask is crazy. I just pray that you never get covid19 or the other strains.
Unfortunately the new strains of covid make the vaccine useless. The vaccine will not help you.
