Motorhome Sites: Your Guide to RV Lots, Campsites and Full‑Time Living

Thinking about where to park your motorhome can feel overwhelming. Do you want a cheap spot for a weekend break, a long‑term campsite, or even a piece of land to call your own? We’ll break down the basics, share real‑world numbers, and point you to the best places around Teesside and the UK.

Buying an RV Lot – Is It Worth It?

When you hear "RV lot" you might picture a tiny strip of land and a big sign that says "For Sale". The reality is a bit more nuanced. A lot can generate rental income, appreciate over time, and give you a personal base for road trips. But it also comes with costs: property taxes, maintenance, and sometimes HOA fees.

Our article "Is Buying an RV Lot a Good Investment? Real Facts You Should Know" dives into the exact numbers. It shows that a well‑located lot near popular parks can earn $200‑$400 a month in rental fees. In less‑busy areas, the income drops, but you still get a place to park for free when you travel.

Before you sign anything, ask yourself: How much will the lot cost up front? What are the ongoing expenses? Can you rent it out when you’re not using it? Answering these questions keeps the purchase from turning into a money pit.

Living Full‑Time in a Motorhome – What Does It Cost?

Ever wondered how much you’d actually spend living full‑time in a motorhome? It’s not just the price of the vehicle. Site fees, utilities, fuel, insurance, and everyday groceries add up fast.

Our guide "RV Living Costs: How Much Does It Really Take to Live Fulltime in a Motorhome?" breaks the budget into easy chunks. A typical site fee in the UK runs £30‑£60 per night at a high‑end park, but you can find pull‑through sites for £15‑£25 per night if you’re flexible. Monthly, that’s roughly £450‑£1,200 depending on location and amenities.

Don’t forget fuel. A 10‑mile day with a 12‑mpg motorhome will cost about £12‑£15 in fuel, assuming current diesel prices. Insurance varies, but most full‑time owners pay £500‑£900 a year. If you keep an eye on waste disposal fees and opt for off‑grid power when possible, you can shave another £50‑£100 off your monthly tally.

Tip: Mix campground nights with wild‑camping on public land where it’s allowed. That balance lowers costs and adds adventure.

Whether you’re eyeing a piece of land to buy or just want to know how to stretch your budget on the road, the key is planning. Start by listing the amenities you need – full hookups, Wi‑Fi, pet‑friendly – and then match those to the cheapest sites that meet the criteria.
