These Are the Biggest RV Parks in America

Ocean Lakes Family Campground — ©TripAdvisor

When most of us picture RV parks, we think of places with a few dozen sites, maybe a nice burbling stream, and space enough to meet the neighbors if we want to or avoid them if we'd rather. The parks we're taking a look at here are not that — not by a long shot. These mammoth RV destinations are packed with campsites (even the smallest among them has more than 700 sites), amenities, and, usually, a very full social calendar. If you go camping for a peaceful experience with nature, avoid these spots. If, however, you're looking to stay someplace where you can pack bingo, bocce ball, billiards, your butterfly stroke, and — in some cases — even beachcombing all into one day, these are the parks for you.

Scarborough, Maine | 747 sites

This 200-acre seaside camping resort has options for tent camping, cabin rentals, RV rentals, and, of course, bringing your own rig. Bayley's is about a half-mile from Maine's Pine Point and Old Orchard beaches, but has lots of things to do on-site as well. Amenities include live weekly entertainment, three swimming pools, multiple playgrounds, beach sand volleyball courts, hot tubs, a bar and grill, a cafe, a game room, an arcade, camp stores, and three on-site fishing ponds.

Okeechobee, Florida | 750 sites

The largest KOA destination in the United States, this 117-acre resort — about halfway between Orlando and Miami — even features a nine-hole golf course. Other on-site amenities include a pool, hot tubs, tennis courts, mini-golf, playground, snack bar, fishing, and an event-filled social calendar. For campers looking for off-site adventure, Okeechobee KOA Resort is close to tons of attractions, including a casino, trails, boat rentals, tours, Lion Country Safari, and more.

Eustis, Florida | 889 sites

Southern Palms RV Resort is another mega-resort north of Orlando in Florida's Lake County. The park offers RV sites as well as some "Park Model" units — cabinlike rentals that sleep four. Resort activities and amenities are as extensive as you'd expect in a park of this magnitude. Those include classes such as painting, line dancing, yoga, water aerobics, and more, as well as facilities such as bocce and shuffleboard courts, horseshoe pits, an adjacent fairgrounds and flea market, and a pool and spa.

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina | 859 sites

If Myrtle Beach isn't the official mega-RV resort capital of the world, it should be. Out of our last five parks in this list, three are in this popular coastal city. The Ocean Lakes Family Campground encompasses 310 oceanside acres that, in addition to its hundreds of campsites, includes more than 2,500 annual lease sites. Opened in 1971, it has tons of amenities that include the usual outdoor activities — shuffleboard, volleyball, basketball, mini-golf, and a waterpark — as well as some not-so-usual perks such as the Ocean Lakes Nature Center Discovery Lab, featuring more than 10,000 shells and fossils.

Bushnell, Florida | 1,025 sites

If you like the idea of a massive RV resort but loathe the idea of sharing that space with children, Red Oaks offers a 55-plus option. With 130 "tree-filled" acres, this resort offers lots of options for its senior visitors, including line and square dancing, bingo, ice cream socials, quilting bees, water aerobics, and more. In addition to RV and tent sites, the park has vacation rental homes. Want to stay longer — like, a lot longer? — Red Oaks has permanent homes for sale. The amenities are many and, not unlike other parks of this size, there's a library and fitness center.

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina | 1,300 sites

Next-to-last on our list is another Myrtle Beach RV park: the Lakewood Camping Resort. Recent renovations to an already huge attraction added more outdoor pool area, a trading post and gift shop, and grocery store and bathhouse upgrades.

In addition, the park offers activities such as arts and crafts, live entertainment, a church service, potlucks, and more. Day trips include the nearby Selkirk Shores State Park, Sandy Island Beach State Park, and the quaint nearby village of Pulaski.

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina | 2,100 sites
