Rental Prices

What are the current rental rates for RV sites?

The current rental rates at Willowbend Resort are seasonal and depend on site type and location. For a standard fully serviced 30-amp RV lot, pricing typically ranges from about $6,000 per season for non-lakefront sites, while lakefront or lakeview sites range from $6,000 to $7,500 per season. The seasonal period usually runs from May to September. These rates reflect long-term seasonal camping rather than nightly stays, making them more suitable for guests planning extended RV living.

Are there different pricing tiers for short-term and long-term stays?

Yes, pricing is structured differently depending on the length of stay. Short-term RV camping (nightly or weekly) is typically priced separately from seasonal lease rates. Long-term and seasonal stays offer significantly better value, as guests pay a flat seasonal fee instead of daily charges. This model is designed for RV residents who keep their units on-site for months at a time, while short-term visitors may be charged higher per-night rates at other affiliated campground options.

Are utilities included in the rental price?

Utilities are partially included but not fully unlimited. Full hookups such as water, sewer, and electrical connections are available at RV sites, but electricity usage may not always be fully covered in the base seasonal price. Some fees or usage-based billing can apply depending on consumption. This structure helps keep base seasonal rates lower while ensuring guests still have access to essential RV services throughout their stay.

Are there seasonal discounts or promotions available?

Seasonal pricing itself acts as the main “discount,” since long-term leases are significantly more cost-effective than daily or weekly stays. The resort primarily focuses on seasonal and annual RV living rather than frequent promotional discounts. However, occasional availability-based pricing differences may occur depending on site location (such as lakefront vs non-lakefront) and demand during peak camping season.

What payment methods are accepted for rentals?

While specific payment methods are not always publicly listed, RV resorts like Willowbend typically accept standard payment options such as credit cards, debit, e-transfers, or direct bank payments for seasonal leases. Long-term rentals may also be structured with scheduled payments or deposits followed by installment arrangements depending on the agreement. Guests usually confirm payment methods directly with management during the reservation process.

Are there additional fees beyond the listed rental price?

Yes, there are additional fees beyond the base seasonal rental price. Common extra charges include items such as waste management fees, sewer pump-out fees, fire contributions, and gate key deposits. Optional services like boat storage or pier space may also come with separate seasonal fees. These add-ons are typically outlined in the rental agreement so guests can understand total costs before committing.

Is a deposit required to secure a booking?

Yes, a deposit is generally required to secure a seasonal RV site reservation. This deposit helps confirm your selected lot and holds it for the upcoming season. In many cases, additional deposits may also apply for items like gate access keys or utility arrangements. The deposit is usually applied toward your total seasonal rental cost, though refund conditions depend on cancellation timing and resort policy.

Are refunds available if I cancel my reservation?

Refund availability depends on the timing and type of cancellation. Seasonal reservations often have stricter refund policies compared to short-term bookings because sites are allocated for extended periods. In many cases, deposits may be partially or fully non-refundable if cancellation occurs close to the start of the season. Guests are encouraged to review the specific rental agreement terms carefully before confirming their booking.

Do prices vary depending on site location or amenities?

Yes, pricing varies depending on site features and location. For example, lakefront or lakeview RV sites are priced higher than standard non-lakefront sites due to their premium location and views. Additional features such as proximity to amenities, lot size, or upgraded services may also influence pricing. This tiered structure allows guests to choose between budget-friendly seasonal sites and premium scenic options.

How often are rental prices updated?

Rental prices are typically reviewed and updated on a seasonal or annual basis rather than frequently changing month-to-month. Updates depend on operational costs, demand, infrastructure improvements, and seasonal planning for the upcoming camping year. Since RV resorts operate on seasonal leasing models, pricing adjustments are usually announced ahead of the new camping season so returning and new guests can plan accordingly.
