RV parks and campgrounds in the United States

They employed 26,333 people in mid-March and paid $1.0 billion in annual payroll. The average establishment has 5.2 employees. That is 1.5 establishments for every 100,000 residents.

Texas has the most (484), followed by California (357), Florida (276), and New York (224). Relative to population, Maine leads with 10.0 per 100,000 residents, and Maryland has the fewest at 0.4.

Why the phone matters for RV parks and campgrounds

RV parks and campgrounds take reservation calls from travelers on the road, often from areas with weak coverage. Staff are often outside, so voicemail capture matters.

Calls RV parks and campgrounds commonly handle:

• A traveler calls to ask about a site for tonight.
• A guest calls about hookup sizes.
• A guest calls about late arrival.
• The park calls a guest to confirm a reservation.
• A seasonal guest calls about monthly rates.

Texting and after-hours calls

Parks text arrival instructions and site numbers.

Late-arriving guests call in the evening for directions and check-in instructions.

Phone system pricing for a 5-person RV park

The average U.S. RV park has 5.2 employees, so the comparison uses a 5-person team. Per-seat business phone plans bill every one of those people. At month-to-month list prices checked September 28, 2026, 5 users on RingCentral RingEX Core cost $150.00 a month and 5 on Ooma Office Pro cost $124.75. On Callata the same 5 people cost $99.00 a month, less than either per-seat plan.

The annual difference against RingCentral's monthly list price comes to $612. Some vendors discount annual contracts; the table shows month-to-month prices.
