Why is there a 10-year rule
We understand that the policy might feel a little off-putting at first, and we want you to know it’s not about targeting older RVs or making anyone feel unwelcome. We truly love the character and charm of well-maintained vintage rigs—and we know a lot of them are in better shape than some newer models!
The reason we have this policy is really about consistency and the experience of all our guests. We take great care to keep Black Bear Plantation clean, scenic, and safe. By asking for a quick photo of older RVs, we can ensure that every rig on-site reflects that standard. It’s not about age—it’s about condition. We've found this step helps prevent issues before they arise, and it allows us to say 'yes' more confidently when folks do arrive with beautiful vintage units.
We appreciate your understanding. We really hope to welcome you here.
