We all have that picture in our minds of the perfect place to park our rolling homes. For some, it’s a cozy nook with just a few neighbors, while others dream of a buzzing resort with endless amenities. This month, we decided to get serious and ask our readers a crucial question about their campground preferences.
We posed the poll, “What’s your ideal RV park size?” to our dedicated newsletter subscribers to settle this once and for all. The results are in, and they reveal a clear favorite—but also some surprising divisions in our RVing tribe. If you missed this round, be sure you’re subscribed and voting next time so your opinion helps shape our findings!
Here is how the votes stacked up:
| Ideal RV Park Size | Percentage of Votes |
|---|---|
| Small (under 50 sites) | 17% |
| Medium (50-100 sites) | 49% |
| Large (100-200 sites) | 11% |
| Resort-style (200+ sites) | 23% |
The Goldilocks Zone Wins
Clearly, most RVers are searching for that “just right” experience. The medium-sized park is the undisputed champion, nearly capturing half of all votes. It seems this size hits the sweet spot: enough community buzz to make happy hour fun, but not so many sites that the dump station looks like a freeway on-ramp at dawn.
You get amenities without feeling like you need a golf cart and a map just to find the bathhouse.
The Intimate Escape Artists
Those who voted for small parks (17%) are likely the quiet heroes among us. They probably enjoy actually recognizing their neighbors and not having to reserve a spot at the fire pit. For them, “rustic charm” means hearing crickets, not the chorus of 50 different generators.
We suspect they also enjoy pulling out of their site without needing a spotter and a degree in advanced geometry.
The Resort Devotees & The Lonely Large
The resort-style voters (23%) are here for the party—or at least the option of a pool, mini-golf, and a concierge. They see their RV as a ticket to a themed vacation where the biggest decision is whether to hit the water slide or the shuffleboard tournament first. Meanwhile, the large park voters (11%) are the mysterious middle children, perhaps wanting options but fearing the overwhelming scale of a full-blown resort.
They might enjoy a choice of two laundry rooms, but still want to pretend they’re “roughing it.”
Conclusion: Community vs. Convenience
We believe these results beautifully illustrate the core divide in the RV lifestyle: the quest for community versus the desire for convenience. The strong win for medium-sized parks shows that most RVers value a social, neighborly atmosphere where it’s easy to connect, but they want to avoid the impersonal feel of a massive lot. The significant showing for resorts highlights a growing segment that prioritizes vacation-style amenities and activities above all else.
Meanwhile, the small but mighty contingent for tiny parks represents the pure escape artists, reminding us that solitude is still a powerful draw. Ultimately, the “ideal” size depends entirely on whether your perfect day ends with a potluck or a piña colada by a resort pool.
