RV-friendly land listings to your inbox.

The easiest way to find your dream RV lot.

  • We maintain a database of town-by-town RV regulations, and only send you listings in areas that welcome RVing.

  • You don’t need a homeowners association breathing down your neck. We omit any listing that mentions an HOA.

  • We don't include listings that seem landlocked or mention deed restrictions, and we’ll flag the ones showing wetlands or flood zones.

  • Some of the best land deals can be found outside the MLS. We search high and low for RV land, including opportunities posted by the owner.

  • We tell you our understanding of the RV rules in town, so you don’t waste a click on land that doesn’t meet your criteria.

  • We flag anything else we think will be important to you, like price, property taxes, easements, and many other factors.

  • Our database is constantly evolving as local regulations shift and change over time.

How We Choose

Some of the factors that determine whether a parcel is ‘RV-Friendly’ or not.

What about Tiny Houses, Yurts, Campervans, Glamping Domes, & Alternative Dwellings?

There’s a lot of overlap.

Tiny houses on wheels and campervans are usually regulated like RVs. And we’ll flag listings where zoning specifically mentions tiny homes, yurts, etc.
