Park Model Homes for Recreational and Seasonal Use

What is a park model?

In the western states, a park model is legally a recreational vehicle. It is built on one chassis and measures 400 sq ft or less. You use it as a recreational or seasonal cabin, not a permanent home.

Irontown Modular builds park models to ANSI A119.5, the park model RV code, in Spanish Fork, Utah. Irontown has built residential and commercial units for more than 40 years. Because a park model is an RV, it needs no state modular approval.

Where can you put a park model?

Your county’s rules decide whether a park model is allowed. Those rules differ a lot from county to county. You are responsible for confirming local and park rules with the relevant offices and getting permits before ordering.

Places where park models work well

• RV parks, campgrounds and glamping resorts
• Park model communities
• Recreation land where the county allows it
• Rural parcels where the county allows it

Usually not a backyard ADU

A park model usually cannot serve as your backyard home, also called an ADU, in a city. Almost everywhere, an ADU must meet the building code, and an RV does not qualify. Only a few cities and counties make an exception. For a legal backyard home, explore Irontown modular ADUs and casitas, built on a permanent foundation.

Check your land before you order

Before you order, we ask for your county and parcel size. We also ask whether a house is on the parcel and how you plan to use the cabin. Before ordering, confirm your parcel, model and use with the local office and park, and obtain required permits. Where it fits, we suggest the same floor plan in a version built for a permanent foundation.

Plan your site and delivery

Your park model ships on wheels and usually needs far less site work than a modular home. Site work includes a level pad or piers, tie-downs, skirting, steps, and utility hookups done by licensed trades with local permits. Delivery includes the first 250 miles from Spanish Fork, Utah, then costs $12.75 per mile, plus a pilot car where required. Setting your unit on site is quoted separately.

Walk through units at the factory

You can schedule a visit to the Irontown factory in Spanish Fork, Utah. Walk through units in person before you choose your cabin.

Common Questions

This is a plain-language summary of rules as we read them in September 2026, not legal advice or an approval. Rules change, and your local planning or building office decides how its rules apply. You are responsible for confirming zoning, permits and code compliance, obtaining any required permits, and confirming any park requirements with the park before ordering.

Check your location and request a quote

Tell us your county, parcel size, whether a house is on the parcel, and how you plan to use your cabin. We will share the local rules we found, and a written quote will confirm your final price. You must confirm local and park requirements with the relevant offices and secure permits before ordering.
