Do you mean $15 per person because I read a daily fee of $6 per person and an overnight charge of $15 per person on their rules page.
Their posted camping rates are for 2 people - more than 2 - it's $5 per night per person.
The $6 charge is for a guest who shows up for the day. If that guest stays over night, it's a $15 charge.
Unless I'm reading it wrong. :B

His post has a very clear implication that the park in some way cheated him, when he's presented no evidence they did anything dishonest.

The OP's implication that he was ripped off is wrong and inappropriate. Being ripped off implies the owner cheated him or took advantage of him when he had no other options. As the rules and prices were posted and he had the option to plan for other accommodations ahead of time, it's all on him.
I don't see the implication.
The OP did not say it WAS a rip off. He did not make a statement.
He said:"Is this a ripoff or what??"
He put forth a question for discussion.
That says to me he is unsure and wondering.

So you now have extra vehicles along with extra people, maybe it is just a shortcut from charging $5.00 a visitor and $10.00 for extra vehicles. And yes, day visitors usually are required to leave when quiet hours begin.
Lantley, you are right for sure as to defining what time do they have to leave. So what is the big deal about staying overnight (for $15) when they can be part of the group and stay for $5 for 24 hours. That is the logic I don't get.

I would imagine the checkout time for overnight guests would be the same as the checkout time for the park, but who knows. I can see where overnight guests would be a big mess, especially in parks relatively close to population centers. Out here in the west, very few guests from Maine have people stopping by, so it is pretty easy for us to keep tabs on who should be in the park and who shouldn't. A park at the beach a couple of hours from a major city would be very different. A guest could have multiple friends and relatives stopping by, putting a big load on the park's amenities. On top of that, it is really easy to see if an RV unit has left the park, the site will be empty. Visitors in cars and trucks can park anywhere, so knowing if they have left as agreed is more difficult. With day visitors, you at least can drive the park after the visitors should have left and see if there are additional cars since most parks are one vehicle per RV, with lots of overnight guests, that is no longer the case and things would get very muddled since there would be many sites with multiple vehicles in addition to the RV unit. Their park, their rules and since they are apparently upfront with the fees, it surely isn't a ripoff as the thread title implies.Lauren wrote:
Sorry, BobR, I think the person certainly can point this out - particularly when I read the park fees (which, I agree, might have been pointed out better). It is $5 per extra person per day. Fair enuf. $6 per person for daily visit. Fair enuf - see that at many of your high amenity places. But then $15 for overnight. That, to me, does not make sense and this is where I would like them to explain the logic. I must be missing something.
The logic is they don't want overnight guest. They want guest to leave and not stay overnight. The fee is to discourage one from staying.
By the way what time is check out for overnight guest? Do they need to be gone by sunrise?
