Chateau Chaparral

This RV park features privately owned lots, set up much like a condominium with an HOA. It boasts a beautiful location on the Arkansas River bordering Browns Canyon National Monument. The park has 306 lots, with about one-quarter occupied by year-round residents. Currently, there is a variety of RV-based homes in the park, but there is an active effort to encourage more aesthetically pleasing units. New residents are trending younger, with a growing interest in park models and tiny houses on wheels; in fact, the first THOW moved in last weekend (August 2018). Tiny houses are specifically allowed in the bylaws, though there are stipulations and a very active Architectural Committee.

The bylaws state that the home must be RVIA certified or have a written letter from a local master electrician stating that the house meets Chaffee County electrical codes. Additionally, the bylaws require that the house must have a standard flushing toilet; composting toilets are not allowed. For general information and links to the HOA bylaws, the park's website is available. Lots can be bought and sold either FSBO or through realtors, with listings often visible on Zillow and Trulia.
