Doesn't Escapees have something like this where they sell you a lot you can use as your "base station"?

Some of the parks have lot ownership and some have multi-year lease (ERPU) arrangements, but each park is run individually and most have a waiting list.

I own my lot in our campground Woodhaven Lakes in northern Illinois. You can't live here it is a campground. You are allowed 180 days per year how ever you want to use them. you can leave your camper year round on your lot. We have a lot of retired people who stay in the warmer months and then go south for the colder ones. My yearly costs are less then some people pay for storage of their RV/camper. We have over 6000 lots so it is open to all ages.

We have our own " campground " of sorts. My DW & I own 5 1/2 acres about 8 miles out in the " country ". 45ft slab with rv cover, covered patio, septic, water, electricity, and two barns/shop. We go out there and piddle, just relax. Easy to just hookup & go when we want to travel. I added another FHU if friends want to come out with their rv for a few days. . No hassle of campground/HOA rules. Just don't ask how much time/$ we have in this place ![[emoticon]](https://forums.goodsamclub.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/doh.gif "doh")

It seems that some 'parks' have a huge monthly fee. I have seen places with $700 month 'rent' !! Is that what some of these suggested places are charging once you buy?
Slightly thought of just putting our own slab etc on a piece of property, but no-have not gone that far into that thought.

At least you have something to show for it and can resell when your done.
I have a seasonal lot that some years due to obligations I have used very little. If you look at cost per year on the least used years it would run $250. a day on the most used years the cost drops to $58. If I use it all summer the cost drops to $23. dollars a day.
Now don't ask what the pontoon boat cost per use.
