RV park & campground capital · Nationwide
RV park and campground financing. Capital for hospitality-oriented outdoor properties.
RV parks and campgrounds require underwriting that reflects nightly, weekly and monthly site revenue, seasonality, amenities and operating costs. MDN Capital Consulting evaluates possible financing structures for qualified existing parks, acquisitions and development-stage opportunities.
Financing overview
Understand operating seasonality and site economics.
Parks differ substantially: a long-stay workforce property has different revenue stability from a tourism-driven resort. Lenders evaluate actual occupied sites, average rates, expense ratios, utilities, amenities, reservations and the condition of park infrastructure.
Existing stabilized operations may fit different credit programs from expansion or ground-up development. A transitional request must account for construction expenditures, ramp-up timing, seasonality and the ability to carry debt through slower periods.
For broader parameters, review MDN Capital's commercial loan criteria, or submit a financing request for a transaction-specific review.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to common financing questions.
General information only. Terms depend on lender approval and individual circumstances; legal and tax matters require qualified advisers.
Can seasonal RV parks receive financing?
Potentially. Lenders usually need annual financial results and may require more reserves for seasonal revenue volatility.
How are RV parks different from mobile-home parks?
RV parks often have shorter stays and hospitality-style operations, while mobile-home parks more often rely on longer-term lot rentals.
Can cabins be included as collateral?
Possibly, depending on the real estate and ownership structure, zoning and lender appraisal treatment.
Are undeveloped sites counted in the property value?
Some lenders consider expansion rights, but proceeds generally depend on approved plans, costs and supportable current value.
What documents should I provide?
Include location, licensed site and cabin count, operating statements, occupancy, permits, improvement plans, payoff and requested proceeds.
