Want to know which are the most upscale mobile home parks in the world? In American culture, trailer parks are stereotypically regarded as the housing option of the less fortunate, the leftovers of society, those who are very near the poverty line. Nevertheless, however oxymoronic as it may sound, there are several luxurious trailer parks around the globe. These high-end facilities are often located by the beach, the river, the lake or any other paradisiacal landscape. Moreover, the sophisticated trailer parks on our list often refer to themselves as ‘mobile home parks’, not to be related with the poorly regarded ‘trailer parks’.
Naturally, to match these stunning locations and their deluxe amenities, you will need to get an extravagant mobile home. Just check our list on The 5 Most Expensive Luxury Motorhomes in the World and you’ll see how the typical road trip experience could be transformed into glamping (glamour camping) in the blink of an eye, and a slide of your credit card.
Let’s take a look now at the countdown and discover how the other half lives in the most upscale mobile home parks in the world, and where them, and the mobile homes parked on them, are located.

This is an oceanfront community that has gone through a great transformation in recent years; what used to be a park with homes leased on leased land is now owned by its residents. The land of each unit costs around $2.5 million, and on top of that you should add the price of the mobile home itself.

Another South African luxurious retreat, also located in Cape Town, is the Grand Daddy Airstream Rooftop Trailer Park.

4. Big Arm State Park
Located on Flathead Lake in Montana, this park offers a mountain view like no other, and the prices match the scenery.
