Okay, so the boyfriend and I have decided to take the plunge and commit to the whole full-time thing. We're hoping to find someplace to camp host but also want to work on some crafting (he's going to be doing walking sticks and I've got a candle project that I want to start). What we were both wondering is, are there rules against selling items on your personal time at the campground? I'm probably going to be looking more for consignment opportunities at gift shops but a campground seems like an ideal place for a walking stick market.
Obviously, no matter what, we'll have to check with the people running the specific camp we end up working at but does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing in general?

You will need to check with the individual campground, in advance. Some will allow it, some won't. My guess is most will not.

DogFolks may be right but I'm guessing smaller, privately owned parks will be more flexible. It'll all depend upon the manager.
Best of luck.

Thanks! I pretty much figured that was where things would stand but thought I'd ask just in case I was totally wrong.

I saw once several years ago a campground that had a shop and they had some crafts consigned in their little store. My guess is that selling out of the RV itself would probably not be something I would count on. In KS, the Farmer's Markets allow craft sales from individuals and in the bigger town where we are now are living, they hold a winter market in the an auditorium and that would mostly be crafts because nothing grows here in the winter months. Summer festivals could be another venue to look at. We went to a Steam Tractor and Farm Implement Sale (lot of walking) and a man selling walking sticks was doing a great job at selling them.

Good answers above.
I have seen some RV parks that will allow ad posting on a bulletin board but very few that allow sales ads on the RV.
