Just about every campground has seasonal sites. Just call or go in and ask if they have any openings (some campgrounds will only allot so many seasonal sites). If you go in, they usually will show you around, show you which sites are open , and get a copy of the contract for you to look over before signing.
That will depend on local zoning regulations. Many counties/cities have cracked down on “trailers” so be sure and check on these issues. It’s very tough to find land in Georgia for this purpose, specifically in the mountains or near the beach.
... or your neighbor could have a dog that barks inside the rv all day.... just sayin. Some folks just need a 'getaway', perm site does that. My wife and I are all about the adventure.
Depends on what the campground allows. Our campground doesn’t allow skirts or large sheds so 🤷🏻♂️. If one is a stick in the mud who hates anyone having a bit of fun or showing their personality via a few campsite decorations then yes, one may not like how some choose to “personalize” their spots. We try to keep it classy but let’s not forget these are campsites… not Buckingham Palace.
@@WanderingWeekends so I’m thinking about private land vs what your doing. Wanted to be a snowbird in a RV, mountains in the summer and Florida in the winter. Big upfront cost to development of private land then you got your yearly cost.
Great video and honest assessment! Gotta love the fall in the south! Greetings from Raleigh, NC!
Seems the pros outweigh the cons. I would definitely camp more if I got a permanent site. Thanks for the .
We think so. We’re definitely camping more.
That’s great information guys! I guess ideally it would be great if you could put a permanent site in your own backyard!
Haha… gotta at least switch up the scenery. 😂🤣
@@WanderingWeekends 😂, tru that!!😂
Might I suggest some lapel type mics. That should keep out a lot of background noise. Enjoyed the video too.
Thank you for the info!
how do you find permanent spots?

I have a question for you what about purchasing recreational land? And put a camper on it and live permanently?
That will depend on local zoning regulations. Many counties/cities have cracked down on “trailers” so be sure and check on these issues. It’s very tough to find land in Georgia for this purpose, specifically in the mountains or near the beach.
@@WanderingWeekends the place I do see where u can do that is kentucky.

Barking dogs are an issue at any campground… permanent or not. Yes, the adventure is #1 on the list. It’s a blessing to have both options.
i never even thought of the dogs yikes!@@WanderingWeekends

You added gravel to your previous site. Were you able to recoup any of the cost when you moved?
No, and that was considered when we were offered this site. That said they may split the cost if we gravel this site.
Sounds like the owners are really good to work with. Good for you!
A con is that permanent campsites begin to look like a mobile home park with skirts, fences, storage sheds, tacky yard ornaments.

Not if you have rules and regulations…
Easier on the body with a base camp and 1-2 day drives
We like to move around. And keep up on my bucket list. Staying in one spot would kill my list.
Permanent site on private land NO CONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Taxes
Maintenance
Same spot every time
Initial investment (power, water, sewer)
There are some cons to a site on private land…
