Keep in mind many campgrounds also do not allow motorcycles either.

Private campgrounds can do what they want and I respect that. I think there is a need for more diverse campgrounds. The RV world is changing. What is the fastest growing segment of the RV population? Millenials.

My guess is the AGE of the truck...not the type per say. I recently found out about the 12 year old rule.

Not exclusively. The campground on Mt Lemmon objected to my M925 because "it's too big" .
They relented when I demonstrated that I could get it into a standard parking space.
Great idea! Why limit it to TN? Franchise it and put some in every state.

I'm not limiting it at all. It was just a brainstorm. I would be happy if it was in all states. Have to start somewhere. TN is known to be a MV friendly state.

good/bad idea
A full fledged campground for MV's specific..... there is not enough MV's to keep it occupied to make enough income to cover the expenses. It would be best for it to be a regular campground but allowed MV's and promoted also to the MV crowd.
OR..
good idea for someone with hunting land (off season) or huge family land that they want to make into a tax right off by putting a tiny low to no cost to operate business on it.. aka a few mowed sports for MV's..... but that would be no hook ups situation....

This was just a brainstorm. Something to stimulate the thoughts and bowels of those interested : ) The concept comes from the business World.

oh don't get me wrong... LOVE the idea... point is only to push your idea little further by offering practical ways to actually go about it with greater chance of success.

We've been looking at this new concept for a couple of weeks now:

Maybe something along these lines.
Boondocking and Free RV Camping | Boondockers Welcome
Boondocking for free on private property. Make new friends and sleep soundly. Locals invite traveling RVers to spend the night, share their stories, and save their money for the real adventure.

Maybe something along these lines.
Not just for "MV's" make it for Overland campers. That would broaden the customer base. Lots of homebrews out there.

Yeah, absolutely. I attended the Overland Expo at the Biltmore. Homebrews are always unique and interesting. Like Forrest's Fuso on Cheap RV Living. One on the best, inexpensive build that I have seen. Nice guy too.

I travel for work and have a 2015 toy hauler, more and more I'm asked the year of my unit or told no more than 10-12 years old. Her's the deal, this is driven by the dollar, private campgrounds are a private FOR PROFIT business. Campgrounds that ask this are more often better kept and charge more, they don't want someone posting a picture of a RV they don't think adds to the aesthetics (per the average RV'er) of the campground on social media or writing bad comments. It's basic economics, thing are booming so they can be more selective of customers and raise their rates. I have talked to owners of older Airstream trailers that look new that have been through this but have worked it out by talking to campground owners and sometimes having to send photos. Campground owners are looking for ways to rule out occupants they deem to be visually unpleasing, age of camper is not an absolute but is an indicator. As for self built rigs if they all looked like PROFO's rig there would be no problem. I have also been denied once because we were there for work, they didn't want a truck starting up and driving through the campground at 6:30 every morning. My selection of campground is dictated by location above other factors, I've stayed at really nice places and dumps, feel more at home in the dumps. Guess that says more of me than I should admit.

The whole concept of being treated like this is a total bummer. We have never had an experience like this (yet). Quite the opposite every time we have had an outing in the Drago Wagon it has been an open house from the time we parked until the time we pulled out. The big girl loves the attention, but sometimes we have actually had to ask for some private time.

Yeah, in CA. But I can't fathom why anyone but the problem would want to live there these days.
