Are you dreaming of owning a piece of paradise where you can park your RV and escape from the daily grind? Buying a recreational RV lot can be an excellent investment in your leisure and relaxation, but it’s essential to make an informed decision. There are several factors to consider when purchasing an RV lot to ensure you find the perfect spot for your outdoor adventures. In this blog post, we’ll explore five key things to look for when buying a recreational RV lot.
1. Location, Location, Location
The first and most crucial factor to consider when buying an RV lot is its location. The location will significantly impact your overall experience and determine how accessible your favorite destinations are.
Springs RV Resort is located in Harrison Hot Springs and is only 90mins from anywhere in the lower mainland, BC. We are so proud of our location.
We think location is so important so here are a few location-related aspects to think about:
- Proximity to Attractions: Consider how close the RV lot is to attractions and activities you enjoy. Whether it’s hiking trails, fishing spots, or cultural attractions, having them nearby can enhance your experience.
- Accessibility: Ensure that the RV lot is easily accessible, especially if you plan to visit it frequently. Check the road conditions, elevation, and whether it’s open year-round or seasonal.
- Scenic Views: Many RV enthusiasts are drawn to lots with beautiful views. Whether it’s mountains, lakes, or forests, make sure the location offers the scenery you desire.
2. Lot Size and Layout
The size and layout of the RV lot play a significant role in your comfort and enjoyment.
Our lots are on average 1500 sq ft and all come with full services (30 or 50amp electricity, Village water and sewer).
Before you buy consider the following factors:
- Size: Ensure that the lot is large enough to accommodate your RV comfortably, as well as any additional outdoor amenities you may want, such as a patio, fire pit, or storage shed.
- Utilities: Check if the lot has essential utilities like water, electricity, and sewage hookups. Depending on your preferences, you may want a lot with full hookups or be open to off-grid options.
- Privacy: Evaluate the level of privacy the lot offers. Some RV enthusiasts prefer spacious, secluded lots, while others enjoy a more communal atmosphere in RV parks with amenities and social activities.
3. Resort Amenities
It is so important that your recreational investment as give you amenities for you to enjoy during your summer stay.
At Springs RV Resort we have invested heavily in our amenities. We have a family pool and hot tub and an adult clubhouse, pool and hot tub all walkable from one another.

Here are some amenities to look for:
- Clubhouses: Many RV parks offer clubhouses with recreational facilities, social events, and common areas to meet fellow RV enthusiasts.
- Utilities and Services: Look for parks that provide essential services such as laundry facilities, Wi-Fi, and garbage disposal.
4. Community
One of the things to look for when buying a recreational RV lot is community. When buying a RV Lot you are also buying into a community. Check what events and activities are offered before you buy into the community. At Springs Rv Resort our social activities and events are at the heart of our park. We believe people make the experience of RV life special and we offer live music dances, Friday night community dinners, weekly cooking classes, aquacise, kids craft mornings, kids movie nights and more.

5. Long-Term Resale Value
Even if you plan to enjoy your RV lot for many years, it’s wise to consider its long-term resale value. Look at the historical appreciation of properties in the area and any upcoming developments that could affect property values. A well-researched purchase can potentially yield a profitable return in the future.
