Full hookup

Definition

A site with water, sewer, and electric at the pad, the trade's premium product.

Why It Matters

The hookup stack is the park's product ladder: full-hookup pads rent for more, stay occupied longer, and carry the long-stay demand that smooths a season, while dry sites sell weekends. The share of sites at full hookup, and the amperage at the pedestal, decide which travelers a park can serve at all, so the site mix is the first read on any listing, and upgrading it is the classic value-add plan whose cost lives in trenches, septic capacity, and permits.
