SEASONAL SITE RULES

All Seasonal policies and campground rules will be enforced; any issues or emergencies, abuse of staff, etc that happens; written reports will be filled out and placed in your file for management/ owners to review. If there are numerous issues concerning any particular site/sites may warrant a visit from management/owner and may result in eviction without refund. After a review of reports at any time of the season; Management reserves the right not to renew/ evict during/end of the season.

PLEASE NOTE: Security and Management reports are private and will not be released campers to protect the privacy of individuals that may be mentioned in reports.

Upgrading Trailer – If you have upgraded to a new trailer( trailer must be 2005 and up), make sure the trailer will fit onto your site, then make arrangements with the company you purchased the trailer from to place the trailer on your site and in the proper place within the lot lines. A Grounds Staff person must be present when trailers are being set up. This must also be done during staff working hours. Prior notice to delivery is required. If you buy a trailer within the park and change owners it is no longer grandfathered in.

New Incoming Seasonals– Trailers must be 2005 and up. All Seasonal trailers that are older than 2005  in the park prior to 2021 are grandfathered in.

Fees – All fees are to be paid on time. Spring fees are due on the first opening day of the new season. Payments can be made at the office during business hours or by E-transfer. If you need to make special arrangements for payment, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to do so BEFORE payment deadlines.

1. For seasonals paying by visa or Mastercard, there will be a 3% processing to all credit card transactions.
2. Seasonals requiring a payment plan will be required to pay $200 on top of the seasonal fee to accommodate administration and time
3. Seasonals requiring extensions will be subject to a $100 fee
4. You can pay anytime or any amount on your seasonal site during the winter months through Etransfer.

It is your responsibility to notify management in person, by phone, or by email to vacationlandinfo@gmail.com of not returning for the following season no later than MAY 1st; Trailer, deck, and personal belongings must be removed no later than May 14th so the site can be rented, cleaned, and readied for new incoming seasonal.

All seasonals are required to pay seasonal payments before or by end of the opening day. Any seasonals that decide after opening day and after the seasonal fee is paid: to leave on your own accord for no valid reason once the season has started no refund will be given.

If payment is not received by the opening day or payment plan or extensions have not been paid or approved by end of the opening day; maintenance will shut water and electricity to the seasonal site until payment or alternative approval is paid and approved. If payment or alternative approval is not paid or approved in a week (seasonal responsibility) an eviction will be issued and the site will be given to another seasonal on the internal or external waitlist.

A seasonal deposit of $150(non-refundable) is required by September 15th every season to hold your site for the following season. All sites without a deposit paid will be made available for purchase for current/new seasonal campers. This is only to hold the site so it will not be rented to a new incoming seasonal and does not entitle you to stay until the remainder is due if you are not returning. All seasonals leaving must give notice by May 1st each year by email or verbally in person/phone. Once notice/new site is offered and accepted; the site will be put up for rent. Once rented by a new/existing seasonal you will not be able to change your mind and request to keep the site.

LEASE- Seasonals will be required to sign a new lease when requested by management for a number of reasons such as:

• Transferred to a new site
• Site fees were changed
• Contact information is out of date
• Site numbers have changed

Security/maintenance/manager will perform their duties accordingly to address a complaint/emergency repairs to the site (electrical, sewer, and water) and may enter a site to do so as it is the property of Vacationland. The site fees you pay as a seasonal is to have the use of a site for the season; to use the amities and services of the park and does not give you ownership of the site/property or entitle you to refuse staff entrance onto the site to perform their duties.

All trailers must be movable: tires, frame, and hitch must be maintained and in working condition in case of trailers have to be moved for site maintenance, tree removal or trimming, and emergencies. Trailers/RVs not maintained and can not move when needed; camper will need to be fixed and bring trailer/RV up to standard to be moveable. If this cannot be done notice will be given that the trailer is beyond repair and will be requested to be removed from the park. NO TRAILER/RV IS GRANDFATHERED IN or EXEMPT FROM THIS POLICY

Seasonals may be requested to remove trailers for one winter in order to do site maintenance to a section/area of the park that needs numerous repairs eg: Sewage, electrical, tree removal. Seasonals that do not or cannot secure storage can be offered to place the trailer on a weekend site for the winter. Costs for having trailers removed and put back on-site and storage fees will be solely the Seasonals responsibility.

ALL SEASONALS-Must have insurance coverage on their trailers/RVs

Vacationland reserves the right to request Seasonal to remove the trailer if it is beyond repair has exceeded 25 years and is in very poor shape.

Trailers may be left on site for the winter (as a courtesy and not as a privilege of your seasonal rate); IT IS AT YOUR OWN RISK and Vacationland IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES that may be caused by heavy snow, falling trees, sewer backups, theft, etc. during our offseason. We ask you to do the following:
