RV Park Etiquette When Everyone Is Staying a While
Answers: What are the unwritten rules of living in a long-term RV park? · Updated
In a 30-site park, your habits are your neighbor's environment. The rules that matter most are the ones nobody has to enforce.
Quick answer
Respect quiet hours, do not cut through other sites, keep pets leashed and clean up after them, keep your site tidy, park only in your spaces, and introduce yourself to your neighbors.
The basics
- Observe quiet hours — a diesel warm-up at 5am carries across the whole park.
- Walk around sites, never through them.
- Leash pets and pick up every time.
- Keep outdoor lighting aimed down and modest.
- Park in your assigned spaces; leave the road clear.
Long-term specifics
- Keep the site mowable and free of accumulated clutter.
- Ask before running anything across a neighbor's site.
- Tell the office before long absences.
- Handle disagreements through the office, not across the fence.
- Let neighbors know if you are having guests.
Why it matters here
Journey's is a small, quiet, Christ-centered park on ten acres, and residents choose it specifically for that. Our standards are stated up front so nobody has to guess, and so the quiet is real rather than aspirational.
