Expansion capital
All loans are subject to underwriting approval. Rates, terms, and fees vary based on property type, loan-to-value ratio, borrower experience, and market conditions. Requity Lending is a commercial bridge lender; we do not offer consumer residential mortgages. Contact us for a customized quote.
Financing Options
Most RV park lenders on the market are SBA lenders. SBA 7(a) and 504 loans have the lowest rates available for RV parks, but they are slow, document-heavy, and require stabilized income history. Bridge financing exists for everything SBA cannot do: buying in the off-season, parks without clean financials, expansion projects, and deals that need to close in weeks. Many of our borrowers use both: bridge to acquire and stabilize, then refinance into SBA 504 or bank debt.
Why Requity
RV parks do not produce even cash flow across 12 months. Our underwriting models account for seasonal revenue patterns, occupancy cycles, and the impact of weather on operations. We do not penalize properties for having an off-season.
We evaluate RV parks and campgrounds differently than traditional commercial real estate. Site count, hookup types, amenity packages, and rate per night matter more than traditional NOI metrics for transitional properties.
The best RV park deals close in the off-season when sellers are motivated and competition is lower. A bridge loan that closes in as fast as 72 hours lets you acquire in winter and have the property ready for spring revenue.
Use Cases
From straightforward park acquisitions to expansion projects with new site development and amenity packages.
01
Acquire RV parks and campgrounds that need operational improvements, site additions, or infrastructure upgrades. We underwrite to the stabilized potential, not just trailing revenue, which is critical for seasonal properties with inconsistent income histories.
02
Finance the acquisition and improvement of underperforming parks. Add full hookup sites, upgrade electrical from 30 to 50 amp, improve roads, and add amenities that command premium nightly rates. Bridge capital covers both the purchase and the improvement budget.
03
Fund utility system upgrades, road improvements, bathhouse construction, Wi-Fi installation, and dump station additions. These improvements directly increase occupancy, average daily rates, and property value.
04
Finance the development of additional RV sites, glamping units, cabins, or tent sites on existing park acreage. A vacant acre that generates $0 can produce $30-80,000 annually once developed with 8-10 sites.
05
RV parks in seasonal markets generate the majority of revenue in 4-6 months. Bridge financing provides capital to acquire and improve during the off-season so the property is optimized before peak season arrives.
06
Combine multiple RV park or campground acquisitions into a single bridge facility. Operators building a portfolio of outdoor hospitality assets can streamline closings and reduce transaction friction.
FAQ
Yes. RV parks, campgrounds, and outdoor hospitality properties are an active lending category for Requity. We finance acquisitions, expansions, infrastructure upgrades, and value-add repositioning for these properties.
Requity bridge loans for RV parks and campgrounds currently range from 10% to 12%, interest-only for the full term, with a 2% origination fee. Pricing depends on property quality, seasonality profile, leverage, and borrower experience.
Yes. SBA lenders offer the lowest rates available for RV parks, and SBA 7(a) and 504 loans are a strong fit for stabilized parks with documented income history. The trade-off is speed and paperwork: SBA loans are document-heavy and typically take 60 to 120 days to close. Many of our borrowers use bridge financing to acquire and stabilize a park, then refinance into SBA 504 or bank debt once the income history supports it.
We evaluate RV parks based on their full annual revenue cycle, not just a single month or trailing quarter. Our underwriting accounts for peak season occupancy and rates, shoulder season performance, off-season baseline revenue, and year-over-year trends. We do not penalize a property for generating 60-70% of its revenue in 4-6 months if the annual cash flow supports the loan.
Yes. We structure improvement and expansion holdbacks directly into the bridge loan. This capital can fund new site development, utility upgrades, amenity construction, and infrastructure improvements. Funds are released through a draw process as work is completed.
Yes. We finance campgrounds, RV resorts, and glamping and outdoor hospitality properties. If you are evaluating the space, start with our guide to the glamping industry.
Common exits include refinancing into a conventional commercial loan or SBA 504 loan once the property is stabilized with documented income history, sale of the improved asset, or recapitalization. The typical stabilization timeline for an RV park value-add is 12-24 months depending on seasonality and scope of improvements.
