Can You Add More Campsites? Expansion Reality vs Buyer Expectations
Many buyers assume extra acreage means expansion potential. Learn the truth about zoning, utilities, and costs before planning to add more RV sites.
Posted: January 27, 2026
Every buyer asks the same question:
“Can I add more sites?”
The real answer: it depends.
True expansion requires:
- Zoning approval
- Sewer capacity
- Water pressure & flow
- Electrical load
- Fire access
- Environmental clearance
- Engineering plans
Just because land is sitting empty does not mean you can add 20, 40, or 100 sites.
Most buyers are shocked to learn:
- Adding RV sites can cost $20k–$40k per site
- Septic fields have capacity limits
- Wells often cannot support more taps
- Zoning often limits site density
