With the ability to provide a truly rustic camping experience, Country Acres Campground has enjoyed friendly reviews from campers who want to continue staying in these cabins for lodging. Cabin specifications include the 13-foot by 31-foot cabin. Shop Tiny Homes A park model cabin is a preassembled, portable cabin on wheels that is 400 square feet or less and is technically classified as a Park Model RV (oversized RV). They are also known as park model homes, recreational park trailers, or tiny homes. They are typically a little larger than most tiny homes but smaller than mobile homes or modular. The cabin is mounted on a trailer frame and is movable but they are more so made to be parked somewhere long-term.

The set-up of the park model home is similar to a mobile home so there is no need for a permanent foundation other than a stone or concrete pad or piers to block and level the unit up off the wheels slightly.

The cabin must be 400 square feet or less of living space so the square foot limit doesn’t include the porch or loft area. It also must be able to be transported as a single wide so they are typically anywhere from 11 feet o 15 feet wide, 30 feet to 44 feet long, 13 feet to 14 feet high, and are all oversize loads. Since each one has a VIN and is technically classified as Park Model RV, in most cases you don’t need permits and aren’t required to pay property taxes on the cabin itself. As a Park Model RV, the RV Industry Association (RVIA) inspects each unit to make sure they meet the ANSI A119.5 Standards for Recreational Park Trailers.

A Park Model Cabin is intended for recreational use and not so much as a permanent residence even though a Lancaster Log Park Model Cabin will hold up great year round even in extremely cold climates.

Ideal uses for park model cabins are campgrounds, cabin rentals, Airbnb, tiny homes, hunting camps, getaway cabins, in-law quarters, offices, and guest houses just to name a few.

Key Points for a Park Model Cabin include a preassembled, portable cabin on a fixed trailer frame, 400 square feet or less (porches and lofts not included), oversize load (can’t haul yourself), RVIA Certified as a Park Model RV with VIN, similar set-up and hook-ups to a single wide mobile home, movable but more so made to stay put, and mainly for recreational use but can be used year-round.

Benefits of a park model cabin include that there are no permits or property taxes in most cases (check with TWP), easier to finance because you can get an RV loan, quick return on investment for rentals, no foundation required other than stone or concrete pad, can resell or move later if needed, quick and easy set up since they are preassembled and turn-key, and simpler way to live and downsize.
