RV Sites in Northeast Parks Become Less Available
Fewer campers are leaving the East Coast for short-term camping vacations in other regions of the country.
With increased demand, campground owners are allotting an increased number of sites for seasonal campers, cutting the number of sites available to traveling campers who may discover a shortage of sites this summer.
Impacting the Northeast’s campground availability is generally decreasing numbers of available sites in recent years, as several large campgrounds were purchased and converted to condos and other non-camping-related uses, such as housing.
Lucrative offers from real estate investment trusts are changing the shape of campground ownership in the Northeast, with acquisitions of sizable parks in New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts within the past year.
