Embarking on a Holiday Travel adventure to a campsite or RV park promises unforgettable memories with family and friends. To ensure your holiday unfolds seamlessly, understanding the essential policies and information is key. This guide provides everything you need to know before you pack your bags and hit the road, ensuring a stress-free and enjoyable holiday travel experience.
Check-In, Check-Out, and Making the Most of Your Time
Navigating check-in and check-out procedures is crucial for a smooth start and end to your holiday travel. Standard check-in time is at 2 p.m., allowing ample time to settle in and begin your holiday fun. Check-out is at 11 a.m., giving you a relaxed morning before departure. The minimum check-in age is 18 years, and for family holiday travel, remember that guests aged 16 years and under are considered children.
To maximize your precious holiday time, consider the availability of early check-in or late check-out. For a nominal fee of $30, you might be able to secure a two-hour early check-in or late check-out. Contact the management office in advance of your arrival to check availability and make arrangements. This can be particularly beneficial when traveling with family or navigating busy holiday periods, giving you extra time to unpack, relax, or enjoy those final holiday moments.
Holiday Travel Reservations and Rates: Booking Your Getaway
Securing your spot, especially during peak holiday travel seasons, requires understanding reservation policies. For weekend getaways and especially holiday periods, a minimum two-night reservation for weekends and three-night reservation for holidays is typically required. This ensures fair access for all holiday travelers during popular times. Single-night midweek campsite reservations may be available, offering flexibility for shorter holiday breaks.
Prices and site types are subject to availability, especially during holidays when demand is high. It’s always wise to book in advance to secure your preferred site and rate. The displayed rates usually do not include service fees or charges for optional extras. Standard RV sites and lodging generally accommodate four guests, ideal for smaller families. For larger holiday travel groups, a guest fee is added daily for each additional guest over four.
To modify your holiday travel reservation, it’s best to contact the Reservation Department directly at (877) 864-2728. Specify that you booked online to expedite the process. Planning ahead and understanding these reservation details will help you secure the perfect holiday travel spot for your family.
Deposit and Payment Schedules for Holiday Stays
Understanding deposit and payment schedules is a critical part of holiday travel planning, ensuring no surprises and a smooth financial transaction. When using a credit card for any deposits or payments, you authorize the property management to charge any incurred expenses during your stay to that card.
Short Holiday Stays (Daily/Weekly):
For shorter holiday travel stays, a deposit equivalent to one night’s rack rate will be charged to your credit card. The remaining balance is due prior to your arrival, simplifying your check-in process and letting you focus on enjoying your holiday.
Extended Holiday Escapes:
For those planning longer holiday travel adventures of a month or more, a one-month deposit, up to a maximum of $750, is required at the time of booking. For stays of 30 days or longer, be aware that a monthly electric bill will be incurred, a common practice for extended stays.
- 1 to 3 Month Holiday Stays: The remaining balance is due on your reservation start date, streamlining the payment process for medium-length holidays.
- 4 to 5 Month Holiday Retreats: 50% of the balance is due on arrival, with the final 50% due on the 1st day of your second month. This staggered payment plan can be helpful for longer holiday budgets.
- 6+ Month Holiday Getaways: 50% is due on arrival, 25% on the 1st day of the second month, and the final 25% on the 1st day of the third month, further easing payment for very long holiday stays.
- Annual Holiday Base: For annual options like Park Models or Tied Down campers, a one-month deposit is required for new guests. RV annual stays also require a one-month deposit. Monthly payment schedules for annual reservations depend on good credit history and a credit card agreement on file.
Deposits are typically made via credit or debit card. If making a deposit in person, cash and checks may be acceptable. Understanding these deposit and payment terms ensures your holiday travel budget is well-managed.
Cancellation and Refund Policies: Travel with Peace of Mind
Holiday travel plans can sometimes change unexpectedly. Knowing the cancellation and refund policies provides peace of mind and financial security. Note that cancellation penalties apply to each site if multiple sites are booked and cancelled or changed. No refunds are issued for early check-outs, so plan your holiday duration accordingly.
- RV Campsites: For daily and weekly reservations, full refunds are available if you cancel up to 2 days prior to your arrival date. This offers flexibility for shorter holiday travel plans.
- Rental Accommodations: For daily and weekly rental accommodations, full refunds are provided for cancellations made 7 days prior to your arrival date, requiring a bit more notice due to the nature of rentals.
- Short Stays (Daily/Weekly): For cancellations received with less than the required notice, your deposit will be forfeited, up to one night’s rack rate.
- Extended Stays (28+ days): For long-term holiday travel reservations, full refunds are available for cancellations made up to 60 days prior to arrival. For cancellations with less notice, the deposit is held on account for a future stay, offering some flexibility even with late changes.
Understanding these cancellation policies ensures you can book your holiday travel with confidence, knowing you have options should your plans need to adjust.
Pet Policy: Bringing Your Furry Friends on Holiday
For many, holiday travel isn’t complete without their beloved pets. Good news – pets are allowed! There’s a limit of 2 pets per site, and aggressive breeds are not permitted, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for all holiday travelers.
For rental accommodations, pet-friendly units are available, and a pet fee of $10 per pet per night applies (this fee may vary at select locations). However, service animals are not considered pets, and in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and state/local laws, service animals are welcome without any pet fees or proof of disability. Guests with service animals will only be charged if the animal damages the rental unit.
With a welcoming pet policy, you can bring your furry family members along for your holiday travel, making it a truly inclusive and joyful experience for everyone.
