Camping at Park Model

Overview of Park Model Camping

Park Model camping refers to the use of Park Model RVs (recreational vehicles), which are a type of temporary accommodation designed to offer a more comfortable camping experience. They are often located within campgrounds or designated RV parks such as Camp Sack-In. These units are built on a single chassis, mounted on wheels, and typically more substantial than traditional RVs though still categorized under the RV spectrum.
