Zoning Laws & Permitting for Campground Expansion
Adding RV sites is a great way to increase revenue, but local zoning laws restrict the number of sites you can build. Also, building sites requires review to ensure local codes are met.

Density limits: The number of RV sites per acre is limited to 10-15 sites and typically cannot be built near wetlands.

Setbacks: Permits are required to build structures and sites. These documents detail the location of property setbacks from property lines and limits to construction near wetlands.

Environment: Adding new sites creates additional wastewater and increases the load on the sewer/septic system. A permit to upgrade the system may be required.
