$6.00 transaction fee. Nightly rate $15.00. Add $4.00 for "modern", thats flush toilets and showers, you pay that whether used or not if the campground has them, even when you rent a FHU site. Add $4.00 for Fri, Sat, or Holiday. Electric add $6.50. Water and Sewer add $13.00. Designated pet site, and at most parks the FHU sites are in the pet loops so pet or not add $2.00.
Price for one night on a Weekend $50.50. Have another car or toad, add $5.00.....$55.50. Senior citizen discount, ($5.00). Out of state resident, add $5.00.
So, If I have a pet, I'd have to pay an additional $21.50 per night? Because the pet sites are all FHU? Wow! Talk about forcing a person's hand...
At the park I am at now they converted 12 sites to full hook up two years ago. These 12 sites are in the dedicated pet section that totals about 84 sites. Now 12 are FHU, about 40 are 30 amp electric only, and the remainder are no hook ups but all get charged the $2.00 additional per night for a pet, and the FHU sites gets charged the $4.00 additional per night for Showerhouses.
OK, that's sounds a bit better, I don't really like the idea of piecemealing the price like that. Seems there would be more complaints for having to pay extra for an amenity that you won't use then just charging a slightly higher fee with those hidden within.
