A 1987 survey of <br />operators revealed a 3 month peak season from mid-January until mid-April, and full occupancy for <br />the duration. Occupancy of recreational vehicles was almost exclusively couples. Based on that <br />information, it is estimated that there were approximately 1,436 people living in recreational vehicle <br />parks and campgrounds in the county during the 2006 peak season. <br />In addition, it is projected that approximately 1,506 people will be living in recreational vehicle <br />parks and campgrounds in the county during the 2030 peak season. That projection assumes that the <br />number of recreational vehicle sites in the county will increase by 1% every five years. <br />TABLE 1.19 <br />PROJECTED VISITORS IN RECREATIONAL VEHICLE PARKS AND <br />CAMPGROUNDS <br />Year <br />Sites <br />Occupancy <br />Persons/Vehicle <br />Total <br />2010 <br />724 <br />100% <br />2.0 <br />1,447 <br />2015 <br />731 <br />1,462 <br />100% <br />2.0 <br />2020 <br />738 <br />100% <br />2.0 <br />1,477 <br />2025 <br />746 <br />100% <br />2.0 <br />1,491 <br />2030 <br />753 <br />100% <br />2.0 <br />1,506 <br />Source: Indian River County Planning Division <br />Community Development Department <br />Indian River County <br />25 <br />
