Site mix

Definition

The park's inventory by type: RV pads by hookup level, tent sites, and cabins.

Why It Matters

Two parks with equal site counts can be different businesses: one rents full-hookup pads to monthly guests all season, the other sells tent weekends and turns over constantly. The mix decides revenue per site, labor per guest, and how weather-fragile the year is. Read occupancy and rate by site type rather than blended, and weigh cabins separately, since they earn hotel-like rates but carry housekeeping, furnishing, and replacement costs the pads never do.
