Adult only campgrounds and RV Parks

Adult only campgrounds are campgrounds for adults only (usually defined as individuals over 18 or 21 and up). Many of these adult campsites don’t allow anyone under 18 – not even as guests. Adult only campgrounds are popular in the UK, Europe, and the U.S. and are appealing to adults who want to get away for some peace and quiet and to socialize with other adults who like to camp or who enjoy an RV lifestyle. Some also cater to those over 50 and senior citizens.

Amenities at adult only campgrounds vary from campground to campground, but many offer RV hookups in addition to conventional tent camping camp sites.  Some adult only campgrounds also offer lounges, golf courses or easy access to golf courses, game rooms, and more.

In the UK, there are many adult only campgrounds in England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.

In the U.S., a growing trend is for conventional campgrounds to also include adult only campsite areas.
