Types Of RV’s / Campers Allowed At Dan River Campground

Safety is very important to us at Dan River Campground. All RV’s that enter Dan River Campground property must be in good operating condition and aesthetically pleasing. In certain cases, we can “exempt” certain RV’s if they have been restored. Call to discuss an RV exemption. Fire is always a hazard when living quarters are not built correctly and / or in accordance with modern manufacturing standards. Therefore, we do not allow the following;

  • Home made “campers, RV’s or other indoor living shelters on wheels”.
  • Van’s, trucks, buses or storage / animal trailers converted for use as a “indoor living shelter”.
  • All RV’s (travel trailers, fifth wheels, Class A/B/C RV’s, truck campers, pop-ups, etc) must be or have been manufactured by an established RV manufacturer. This ensures that the RV was manufactured in accordance with and passed safety standards at the time of manufacture.
