RV and Site Standards & Guidelines
Your satisfaction is very important to us. We appreciate that you have chosen to spend your time with us and want to make sure you and all our guests enjoy their stay. With this in mind, we have outlined some basic RV standards and site standards to ensure that we maintain a standard of quality in our resorts and campgrounds.
Please note that these guidelines and examples are not intended to address all possible situations that may arise at a property. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to stop by the management office at your convenience.
Most importantly, we hope you enjoy your stay with us!
RV Standards
The quality of RVs can contribute to or detract from the overall experience of all the campers. For this reason, we enforce some standards of appearance on RVs, similar to those in place at many other RV resorts and campgrounds.
Our property rules state that “all vehicles must be operable and in good condition.” We think it may be helpful to outline a few examples of what is meant by “good condition.”
Age Limit Please note that “good condition” does not mean “new,” and we do not typically have an age limit for RVs.
RV Certification
RVs should have RVIA certification. RVIA certification states the rig complies with certain fire codes, which are important for the safety of our guests. Occasionally, exceptions can be granted by Manager and/or District Manager on a case by-case basis for non-RVIA rigs which seem to conform to safety requirements and are of a design and style compatible with the park. A park model RV, also known as a recreational park trailer, should be certified by the manufacturer and built-in accordance with the ANSI code.
Appearance Guidelines
Overall, the RV should look and function as it was originally designed. While we can’t provide a list including every possible scenario, following are a few examples that should be helpful:
Doors, shrouds, panels, windows and coverings, etc. should be intact and not unsightly.
Exterior should be not unsightly, and should be free of obvious, poorly repaired damages. • Tarps cannot be used for weatherproofing and awnings should be in good condition.
Air conditioning units should not be added through the walls or windows unless previously approved.
All hoses, wires, etc. should route through ports as originally designed.
Exterior should be free of duct tape, repair tape, excessive caulk, etc.
Isolated minor issues are generally acceptable, provided multiple issues aren’t combined to substantially deteriorate the appearance of an RV:
Minor body damage which has been properly repaired but is still visible.
Fading of decals and/or paint.
Minor window cracking, although replacements should be scheduled.
Damage from traveling that has just happened, especially if you have a repair plan
Site Standards
We all need to be good neighbors to our fellow campers! No one likes to camp next to a messy site, and a messy campsite can be an open invitation to unwanted wildlife.
Following are some guidelines to help everyone be a good neighbor in the campground:
Recreational vs. Residence
For our seasonal or annual campers, we need to remember that your campsite is a recreational site and not a residence.
Customers shall use their RV and site for recreational purposes only and shall not use their RV and site as a permanent residence. Length of stay requirements are based on legal requirements and property established guidelines. Safety Guidelines
