LHS61 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I am selling my house in WA and going full time about the end of May. Will buy MH then but I heard something about state parks in Oregon not allowing RVs that are more than 10 years old. I was considering something around 12 years old but now I'm not so sure. How can they enforce a rule like this if you have a sharp rig thats more than 10 years old... Anyone heard of this rule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarDreamers.us Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 There are some places that enforce that rule. The key I am told is to keep the RV looking good. Safe Travels!

Jimalberta Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 There is no way a casual office worker in one of those parks would know what year your rig is.....mine stays 9 years old indefinately. <p>....JIM and LINDA......2001 American Eagle 40 '.towing a GMC Sierra 1500 4X4 with RZR in the rear. 1999 JEEP Cherokee that we tow as well.

Dutch_12078 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I can find no such age restriction listed at the Oregon State Parks web site. They do have the common 14 day maximum stay rule and site based size/length restrictions though.

bigjim Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 I seriously doubt that this is the case of state parks or other public parks. It is sometimes the case in private campgrounds and sometimes the deciding factor is someone there seeing your rig. When I was early in RVing I had a 20yr old TT that looked very good. I called ahead about a private campground in California and they asked if my trailer was older than 10years and was turned down sight unseen. There will be some private parks that will be strict but again a lot may not ask if you are there and they can see the condition of your rig. No guarantees though so if you drive a distance have a back up plan. This is frustrating, but it is the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2gypsies Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 That's not true of Oregon state parks - or any other public park. It's 'some' private RV parks that have this rule - a small minority. There are enough choices of RV parks out there that you don't have to stay in one of those.

Kirk W Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Anyone heard of this rule? I think that you have confused a rule that does occur in some commercial destination parks with the state parks. We have been campground volunteers in three different Oregon state parks and no such rule exists, there or in any other state park system. There are commercial parks with such a rule, usually only applied to RVs which stay long term. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

TheDuke Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 My 2001 C is only 5 years old as far as any commercial park knows. Like someone elses, mine will stay 5 years old indefinitely. Also I don't believe any state park as such a rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twotoes Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Some private parks and resorts have an age rule but I have never heard of any state parks doing this. I am a volunteer in a state park in South Dakota and we never ask what the age is of a vehicle. 2015 Itasca Ellipse 42QD 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Hard Rock Edition 2021 Harley Street Glide Special Fulltimer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
