Full-time RVers, remote workers, traveling nurses, construction crews and snowbirds all want the same thing: a stable, comfortable place to stay for a month or more. For a small park, that's predictable income, lower turnover costs, and a community that looks after the place.
What monthly guests want
- Wi-Fi that actually works, and laundry. These two come up more than anything else.
- Level, full-hookup pads with 30 and 50 amp service
- Mail and package handling
- Shade, some privacy, and well-lit common areas
- Dog-friendly space and a little storage
How to price monthly sites
A good starting point is 45-65% of 30 nights at your nightly rate. At $60 a night, that's roughly $810-$1,170 a month depending on your amenities and market.
| Tier | What's included | Pricing |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 30 amp full hookup | Low end of your range |
| Premium | 50 amp, better location or shade | Mid to high end |
| Add-ons | Storage, extra pets, faster Wi-Fi | Monthly fee each |
Bill electric separately on a meter. If it's included, your best monthly guests in January will cost you more than they pay.
Check the rules first
- Zoning. Some counties cap RV stays at 30, 90 or 180 days. Know yours before you advertise.
- Septic and health permits. Long-term occupancy can change your requirements.
- Written agreements. Use clear month-to-month terms and park rules, and screen guests.
- Tenancy law. Long stays can create tenant rights in some states. Talk to a local attorney about your agreement.
How to fill monthly sites
- Build a dedicated monthly-rates page on your website.
- List on RV community and long-term stay platforms.
- Update your Google Business Profile and post availability.
- Offer a referral credit to current monthly guests.
- Call local employers, hospitals and contractors who house traveling workers.
Example: a 45-site park in North Georgia converted 20 sites to monthly. Within six months, year-round occupancy reached 85%, labor costs fell, and the average monthly guest stayed 4-6 months.
How much should be monthly?
For most parks, 30-50% of sites. Enough to cover fixed costs all year, not so many that you can't charge full rate in peak season. More on getting the guest mix right.
