Generally, you can take two cars to an RV park, but it's not as simple as just showing up with both. The primary rule is that most RV parks allow only one vehicle to be parked at your designated campsite. The second vehicle will almost always require special permission and likely an additional fee. The key is to contact the specific RV park directly in advance to understand their precise policy, as rules vary significantly between parks.
The main reason for this limitation is space. RV sites are designed to accommodate a large recreational vehicle and, typically, one tow vehicle or "toad" (a car being towed behind a motorhome). Adding a second car can overcrowd the site, block the road for other campers, and violate local fire safety codes regarding emergency vehicle access.
Common RV Park Vehicle Policies at a Glance
| Policy / Scenario | Likelihood | Typical Requirement | Notes / Considerations |
|---|
| One RV + One Tow Vehicle | Standard at nearly all parks | Included in base site fee | This is the expected and most common setup. |
| One RV + Two Cars | Varies by park; often requires approval | Additional daily fee (e.g., $5-$15 per car) | The second car may need to park in a separate overflow lot. |
| Tent + Two Cars | More restrictive than RV sites | Often prohibited or limited to one car | Tent sites have less paved space and stricter rules. |
| Oversized Vehicle (e.g., large truck) | May be subject to extra charges or denied | Must be declared at booking | Can be seen as taking up multiple spaces. |
| Visitor Vehicles | Usually allowed for short durations | Must register at office, often a fee applies | Typically cannot stay overnight on the site. |
Your best strategies are to book a larger, "premium" or "pull-through" site that might have extra paved space, or be prepared for the second car to park in a designated overflow parking area away from your campsite. Never assume it's okay; always call ahead. Planning is essential to avoid being turned away at the gate.
