The RV Rental Association (RVRA) reports robust demand for RV rentals heading into the 2026 summer travel season. Nearly 60% of rental operators have more April reservations than last year, with 5–6 night contracts being the most common (48% of operators). 70% of operators expect rental lengths to remain consistent with 2025. Towable rentals continue to grow: 78% of companies rent RV trailers, and 28% of customers already own a capable tow vehicle. Pet-friendly travel remains a major draw, with 87% of operators allowing dogs.

The Two Rivers (Wis.) City Council approved a change to the room tax ordinance, now including campgrounds and RV parks. The 8% tax rate was previously applied to hotels, motels, and short-term rentals. The ordinance also establishes reporting requirements for RV and camper revenue to improve tracking of tourism income.

Windmill RV Ranch, a 55-plus RV community in Bertram, Texas, is targeting RV owners seeking long-term stays in the Texas Hill Country. The park offers sites with full hookups, fiber optic internet, and access to local attractions. It is designed for retirees and full-time RVers looking for a stable home base.

The Carolinas Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (CARVC) secured a legislative win in South Carolina with HB 3387, effective April 29. The law clarifies that guests in RV parks and campgrounds are transient visitors, not residential tenants, giving operators clearer authority to remove problem guests without landlord-tenant eviction procedures. Law enforcement can assist if guests refuse to leave.
