Monthly RV Park Rates: 10 Long-Term Parks Compared
Compare verified 2026 monthly RV park rates from $300 in Arizona and $425 in Texas, plus electric, deposits, age rules, and seasonal pricing.
Published monthly RV park rates in our verified 2026 sample range from $300 to $1,134 before metered electricity. The low end is Arizona Sun in Quartzsite outside its January premium; the high end is Deer Valley’s largest monthly site category in Phoenix. Texas begins at $425 in this sample, while the two Florida examples run from $450 to $900 depending on season and site.
There is a cheaper category, but it is not comparable to a private RV park. A $180 La Posa Long-Term Visitor Area permit covers September 15 through April 15 near Quartzsite, with no individual hookups and shared water, dump, and trash facilities.
These are ten current published examples, not a national average or a promise of availability. Rates were checked on official park or agency pages on August 5, 2026. Ask each property for a written, all-in quote for your exact rig and dates.

Monthly RV park rates at a glance
| Park | Location | Published long-stay rate | Electricity | Important condition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| La Posa LTVA | Quartzsite, AZ | $180 for Sep 15–Apr 15 | No hookup power | BLM dry-camping permit |
| Arizona Sun RV Park | Quartzsite, AZ | $300/mo; $575 in January | $0.20/kWh | January premium |
| Arbor Ranch RV Park | Canyon Lake, TX | From $425/mo | $0.13/kWh | $150 deposit; water/septic included |
| Frostproof Mobile Village | Frostproof, FL | $450–$495 off-season; $595–$675 peak | Metered | $150 electric deposit |
| Lone Pine RV Park | Ruskin, FL | $640–$900/mo | Separate | Full hookups and Wi-Fi included |
| Desert Shadows RV Resort | Phoenix, AZ | $700–$805 summer; $910–$1,020 winter | Separate | Monthly guests 50+ |
| Desert’s Edge RV Park | Phoenix, AZ | $730–$1,105/mo | Separate | Rate changes by rig/site |
| Deer Valley RV Park | Phoenix, AZ | $788.40–$1,134/mo | Separate | Ten-year RV policy |
| Palm Creek Resort | Casa Grande, AZ | Annual sites from $834/mo | Separate | Sewer/trash and Wi-Fi may be extra |
| Rancho Sedona RV Park | Sedona, AZ | Selected monthly sites $850–$950 | Separate | Adult-only, site-specific inventory |
The table compares base prices with different products. A winter-season permit without a pedestal, a monthly back-in in Quartzsite, and an annual resort site in Casa Grande are not substitutes just because all three display a monthly-looking number.
Arizona monthly RV parks: the widest price spread
Arizona shows how dramatically location, season, and service level affect monthly rent. Quartzsite can be extremely inexpensive, while Phoenix and Sedona publish higher prices tied to rig length, site class, age rules, or limited inventory.
La Posa LTVA: $180 for the winter season
The Bureau of Land Management’s La Posa Long-Term Visitor Area surrounds Quartzsite with large desert camping areas. Its $180 long-term permit covers September 15 through April 15 and includes access to shared water, dump, and trash facilities.
This is dry camping. There is no water, sewer, or electric pedestal at your individual site, so the price belongs in a different budget category from a full-hookup park. It works for self-contained RVers who can manage tanks, power, dust, and desert weather; it is not a $25-per-month resort.
Arizona Sun RV Park: $300 monthly outside January
Arizona Sun RV Park’s published rates list $300 per month, rising to $575 in January, with electricity billed at $0.20 per kWh. The seasonal jump is a concrete reminder that Quartzsite demand is event-driven: the same site can carry a very different headline price in peak month.
At the $300 base rate, it is the least expensive private-park example in this comparison. Compare the January figure—and likely electric use—with other winter quotes before assuming Quartzsite automatically wins.
Desert Shadows RV Resort: $700–$1,020 by season and rig
Desert Shadows’ rate sheet publishes monthly tiers of $700–$805 in summer and $910–$1,020 in winter, with electricity extra. The tier depends on rig size. Monthly stays are for guests 50 and older, although the park’s daily and weekly stays accept all ages.
This example captures two details that often disappear from search snippets: the cheapest season may be the hottest, and an age rule can apply only after the stay crosses into a monthly category.
Desert’s Edge RV Park: $730–$1,105 by site category
Desert’s Edge lists monthly prices from $730 to $1,105, plus electricity. The rate changes with RV length and site category rather than offering one universal monthly price.
When requesting a quote, send the full RV length—not the model name alone—and ask whether the quoted site can accommodate slides, tow vehicle, and any additional vehicle. A lower category is irrelevant if the rig cannot use it.
Deer Valley RV Park: $788.40–$1,134, with an RV-age policy
Deer Valley’s current rate page publishes monthly categories from $788.40 to $1,134, plus electricity, based on rig length and site class. The park says RVs must be within ten years old unless management approves an exception.
If your RV is older, request approval before paying. Clear exterior photos and maintenance records can help with parks that evaluate older units, but only the park can grant the exception.
Palm Creek Resort: annual RV sites from $834 per month
Palm Creek’s official stay page advertises annual RV sites from $834 per month. Electricity is excluded, and sewer/trash and Wi-Fi can be additional charges where applicable.
“From” and “annual” are the operative words. This is a longer commitment than a single month, and the displayed starting figure should not be compared with a one-month quote until you know the lease term, site, and recurring fees.
Rancho Sedona RV Park: selected sites at $850–$950
Rancho Sedona’s site map and pricing identify selected adult-only monthly sites at $850 to $950, plus electricity. This is limited, site-specific inventory, not a blanket monthly rate for every campsite.
That matters in a high-demand destination. Confirm the exact site number, parking arrangement, maximum stay, and cancellation terms rather than assuming any available nightly site can convert to monthly pricing.

Texas example: a low base rate with transparent utilities
Arbor Ranch RV Park: from $425 plus electric
Arbor Ranch RV Park near Canyon Lake publishes long-term rates from $425 per month. Water and septic are included; electricity is billed at $0.13 per kWh, and the park lists a $150 deposit.
This is the cleanest kind of quote to compare because the base, utility rate, and deposit are visible. You still need to ask which site class earns the “from” price, whether other recurring charges apply, and how much of the deposit is refundable.
Our Texas RV park guide covers regional choices beyond this one rate example.
Florida examples: season changes the monthly total
Frostproof Mobile Village: $450–$675 by season and site
Frostproof Mobile Village publishes monthly rates of $450–$495 in the off-season and $595–$675 in peak season, depending on site. Full hookups are included, monthly electricity is metered, and the park lists a $150 electric deposit.
The $225 spread between the lowest off-season and highest peak figure is larger than many travelers expect. Always attach dates to a quoted monthly price; “Florida monthly rate” is incomplete without a season.
Lone Pine RV Park: $640–$900 plus electric
Lone Pine RV Park on Florida’s Gulf Coast publishes monthly prices from $640 to $900, depending on the site and period. Full hookups and Wi-Fi are included, while electric is separate.
A park can truthfully advertise full hookups while still metering the electricity delivered through that hookup. “Full hookup” describes the connections, not necessarily the billing. Our full-hookup vs partial-hookup comparison separates those utilities from the actual rate decision.

Why the quoted monthly rate is rarely the final bill
Before comparing two parks, put every quote into the same structure:
Base site rent
- metered electricity or flat utility fee
- sewer, water, trash, Wi-Fi, and cable charges not included
- extra-person, pet, or vehicle fees
- taxes and card fees
- nonrefundable application or administrative fees = recurring monthly total
Keep refundable deposits separate from recurring cost, but include them in the cash needed at check-in. Also ask whether the park bills a calendar month, 28 days, or 30 nights; those periods produce different effective nightly rates.
Our RV park price index gives broader nightly and monthly context, while the monthly RV cost guide covers propane, insurance, maintenance, connectivity, and other living expenses beyond site rent. If the quote includes a large amenity premium, use the all-in test in are luxury RV resorts worth it? before comparing it with these long-stay examples.
The seven questions to ask before paying
- What is the exact base rate for my RV length, site type, and dates?
- Which utilities are included, and what is the current electric rate?
- Are there deposits, application fees, taxes, or card fees?
- Does the price require a multi-month, seasonal, or annual commitment?
- Do age restrictions apply to guests, the RV, or both?
- Can I receive mail and packages, and is a street address available?
- What happens if I leave early or the site is not as represented?
Ask for the answers in writing. A screenshot or emailed quote is more useful than trying to reconstruct a phone conversation after the cancellation deadline.
Bottom line
The lowest credible private-park monthly rate in this sample is $300 plus electricity; a more typical full-hookup quote across these examples lands between roughly $425 and $1,134 before excluded utilities. La Posa can reduce winter site cost to $180 for the entire permit season, but only by trading individual hookups and private-park service for self-contained desert camping.
Do not shop by headline rate alone. Match the season, stay length, rig category, utilities, and restrictions first—then compare the all-in cash cost. That single habit prevents most monthly-RV-park budget surprises.
Frequently asked questions
How much are monthly RV park rates?
In this verified August 2026 sample, private-park base rates run from $300 per month at Arizona Sun in Quartzsite to $1,134 for the largest monthly category at Deer Valley in Phoenix. Electricity is extra at most examples. These are published examples, not a national average, and season, rig size, site type, and location can change the quote substantially.
What is the cheapest long-term RV option in Arizona?
La Posa Long-Term Visitor Area near Quartzsite charges $180 for a permit covering September 15 through April 15, but it is dry camping with shared water, dump, and trash facilities rather than a private full-hookup RV park. Arizona Sun publishes private-park monthly rates from $300 plus metered electricity, with a higher January rate.
Is electricity included in monthly RV park rates?
Often it is not. Nine of the ten examples in this comparison either bill monthly electricity separately or are dry camping without pedestal power. Always ask for the utility rate, deposits, flat fees, and the last date covered by a seasonal quote before comparing parks.
Are monthly RV parks age restricted?
Some are. Desert Shadows requires monthly guests to be at least 50, while Rancho Sedona identifies selected monthly inventory as adult only. Age rules vary by park and sometimes by length of stay, so confirm the written policy before paying a deposit.
Do monthly RV parks accept older RVs?
Policies vary. Deer Valley publishes a ten-year RV limit unless management approves the rig separately. Ask whether the park needs photos, registration, or pre-approval before making a nonrefundable payment.
