You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:44, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

A '''recreational vehicle park''' ('''RV park''') or '''caravan park''' is a place where people with [[recreational vehicle]]s can stay overnight, or longer, in allotted spaces known as "sites" or "campsites". They are also referred to as [[campground]]s, though a true campground also provides facilities for [[tent]] [[camping]]; many facilities calling themselves "RV parks" also offer tent camping or [[Log cabin|cabin]]s with limited facilities.

==Services==

'''Allocated space (pitch/site) facilities may include:'''
* AC power connection. (Usually rated by capacity such as 15, 20, 30 or 50 [[ampere]]s.)
* [[Drinking water]] connection
* [[Sewerage|Sewer]] connection
* Television connection (relevant to local area standards)
* Telephone connection (rare outside North America)
* [[Hotspot (Wi-Fi)]]

'''Park facilities may include:'''

Occasionally, [[Electric car|Electric Vehicle]] owners will use the electrical facilities at RV parks to charge their cars - especially in rural areas where other [[charging station|charging facilities]] are unavailable.  In North America, "50 amp" ([[NEMA connector#NEMA_14|NEMA 14-50]]) connections are especially desirable for EV charging.  The "30 amp" ([[NEMA connector#NEMA_TT-30|TT-30]]), "20 amp" ([[NEMA connector#NEMA_5|NEMA 5-20]]), and "15 amp" ([[NEMA connector#NEMA_5|NEMA 5-15]]) connections may also be used, but offer progressively slower charging speeds.  Outside of North America, 16 amp ([[IEC_60309#Blue P+N+E, 6h|caravan mains sockets]]) are common.

==RV parks by region==

===Australia===
In Australia there is generally no differentiation between an RV park and a [[trailer park]]. The term "caravan park" is used to refer to both. The term "holiday park" is becoming increasingly common, with many parks increasing their stock of on-site cabins, often accompanied by a reduction in the number of caravan sites, generally having higher quality facilities than the standard caravan park.

===Europe===
Caravan sites in [[Europe]] range in facilities depending on their age. Most new sites will be built to high [[environmentally friendly]] standards and have facilities compatible with the newest vehicles.

The [[Caravan Club]] has 1 million members in Europe with around 200 self-owned campsites and over 2,500 third party certificated locations, more commonly known as CL sites. The [[Camping and Caravanning Club]] is a non-profit organisation which has been running for over a century and has over 400,000 members and 100 campsites in the United Kingdom.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.campingandcaravanningclub.co.uk/aboutus|title=The Camping and Caravanning Club – About Us|publisher=[[Camping and Caravanning Club]]|access-date=2008-05-06))</ref>

In France, Germany and Italy, to a lesser degree also in Norway and the Netherlands, a large network of dedicated stopover sites for motorhomes has grown since about 1980. These sites are called ''Reisemobil-Stellplatz'' in German or ''Aire de Camping-car'' in French. While these sites can usually not be compared to North American RV sites regarding size and facilities, they still fulfill the same purpose.

===New Zealand===
In [[New Zealand]], motor camp, caravan park or holiday park are all terms typically used to describe overnight or long term vehicle-based camping. Along with powered  sites for caravans, the parks usually offer tent sites and cabins, and a shared building with cooking facilities.

===North America===
[[File:SB US 19-98 at Withlacoochee River-RV Resort.jpg|thumb|Trailer park and recreational boating resort on the [[Withlacoochee River (Florida)|Withlacoochee River]] at the foot of the bridge carrying Southbound US 19–98 in [[Florida]]]]

RV parks range from rustic facilities with no or limited utility hookups, as often found in state/provincial parks and national parks, to luxury resorts with amenities that rival fine hotels. Some high-end resorts restrict the type of RV that can stay to motorhomes of a certain length or longer, and/or newer than a certain year.

Most RV parks are open to allcomers and rent spaces on a nightly or weekly basis, much like a [[motel]] or [[hotel]]. A few parks operate on a [[time-share]] basis. [[Membership campground]] networks like [[Thousand Trails]] operate like clubs, with members paying an initial membership fee and annual dues. There are over 13,000 privately owned RV parks and over 1,600 state parks that cater to RVers in the USA. Many of these RV parks offer WiFi hotspot access on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis; occasionally, WiFi is included in the campsite fee.

Most RV parks are independent or operated by a government entity. In the United States, [[Kampgrounds of America]] (KOA), is  the largest and best-known chain of RV parks, with [[Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp Resorts]] a distant second. Good Sam Parks are mostly independently owned RV campgrounds endorsed by the [[Good Sam Club]], a large association of US RVers that is operated for profit by the Affinity Group, Inc. Listings of RV parks can be found in printed directories; the best known are the annual ones by ''Woodall's'' and ''[[Trailer Life]] Magazine''. Online and mobile app RV directories are provided by AmericaOnWheels.com, CampRate, Campendium, eCampGuide, MobileRVing.com, Reserve RV, RoverPass, RV Parks & Campgrounds, RVParkReviews, RVThereYet, [[The Dyrt]] and others. Overnight rates for most USA RV parks are US$15 to US$50, although some in cities and country parks may be US$10 or less; even free.

There is a [[subculture]] of "[[fulltiming]]" RV owners who live in their recreational vehicles on a permanent basis. They typically move from one RV park to another. The length of time that someone is allowed to stay in an RV park varies from park to park.
