Inside the RV Park Business with Jason Lafferty

Jason Lafferty built an RV park business from scratch after hearing “no” from 47 lenders.

Today, he owns multiple RV parks, develops parks for other investors, and operates a third-party management company focused on RV park operations and development.

In this episode, Jason shares how he got started without a construction background, why RV parks are much more operationally intensive than many people realize, and how his family-based construction crew helped scale the business quickly.

The conversation covers RV park development, management systems, affordable housing demand, occupancy challenges, guest experience, and creative strategies for improving park performance. Jason also explains how he uses referral programs, local partnerships, and even lease-to-own RV programs to create more stable occupancy.

He also shares some of the real-world challenges that come with operating parks and why hospitality and onsite management are critical to long-term success.
