Team sizes at RV parks and campgrounds in Massachusetts

70.2% of Massachusetts's RV parks and campgrounds with employees had fewer than five people in March 2023, compared with 69.2% nationally. 93.6% had fewer than ten. At that size the phone is shared, so routing (who rings, when, and what happens after hours) matters more than the number of desk phones.
