Pain at the Pump for RVers

So, I hear this all the time from folks who think the RV Park business is going to fall apart and crash due to high gas prices. Well, that's a natural conclusion for some folks to come to.

However, I ask a lot of RV Park and Campground owners how their businesses are doing during this time. It seems that regardless of what the fuel costs are, RV owners are still going to be out there, on the road and in the campgrounds. Many park owners say their parks have not seen a falling off or leveling out of occupancy rates. Actually, they report longer stays at their parks, so their revenue is still holding.

Higher gas prices don't seem to stop the active RV owners from making shorter trips, and it certainly encourages longer stays, especially at parks in very desirable locations. For the RVers who are road warriors and want to be up and running every day, the fuel costs are definitely a factor. But for the enthusiasts who just want the joy of taking their RV to a great location and enjoying all that the park and surrounding area offers, the fuel prices haven't stopped them yet! And that's good news for RV park owners!
