To millions of Americans, "setting up camp" means finding parking for a recreational vehicle, not pitching a tent. This report shows how local zoning ordinances can regulate recreational vehicle parks in order to avoid environmental damage, as well as health and safety hazards. Based on interviews and 40 case studies, this report covers zoning techniques for directing the location of parks and setting standards for park development. These standards include site restrictions, water supply, and length of stay. Useful appendices feature sample zoning ordinances and health regulations for RV campgrounds.
