Frequently Asked Questions

We do offer year-round extended stay. However, the Town of Palisade limits the stays to 150 days during our Off Season from October to March, and 90 days during our Peak Season from April to September. Once those days are reached, guests must vacate the park for 14 consecutive days before starting additional stay periods.

All amenities are included!

Current electric rate (as of January 2023) is $0.186/kw used. Average monthly usage is between $50-$200 depending on several factors including RV size, enclosed underbelly, all season package on the RV, thermostat temp setting, RV skirting and use of the built-in propane furnace. We highly discourage the use of portable electric heaters or portable air conditioners as they can malfunction and start a fire without warning.

We understand the need to have a fully functioning RV that looks great too! Please inform the office if you need to do any of these things to your RV. Other guests here are on vacation and would appreciate limiting these activities to the afternoon. Personal vehicle (car, truck, SUV) maintenance or washing is NOT allowed in the park.

We ask that you limit the amount of clutter around your RV, so as much as possible keep items inside or in totes under your RV and in the driveway gravel. The grass is watered nightly during the warmer months so your items will get wet during these times. Using the suggested totes will prevent them from getting wet and placing them under your RV and in the gravel will reduce the chance of direct water spray from the sprinklers.

Remember the other guests are here on vacation. Running a generator can be disruptive, so approval must be granted by the General Manager. However, the use of solar panels is approved if they remain off the grass (specifically mounted on the rooftop or portable panels in the driveway).

We have overflow parking for extra vehicles. Your RV will fit in almost every spot in the park; however, some spots may have issues fitting a vehicle in the same drive as their large RV. Our office staff is happy to point out where you can safely park your vehicle(s). We provide one parking pass per site and additional parking passes are available for a small fee. If you bring a Class A or C and it is towing a vehicle, there is no need for an additional pass unless you have another vehicle someone else is driving in separately. A truck/SUV towing a trailer will still receive one pass and will need to purchase a separate pass if someone staying with them drives a separate vehicle.

Any visitors outside of those registered as an extended stay guests must check-in at the office and purchase a Day Tripper pass if they would like to enjoy the resort amenities. If you are having a large gathering or event, please reach out to the office to secure a larger area (a rental fee may be required).

Yes, we do allow skirting in the winter months but it will need to be inspected and approved by the General Manager. The skirting must match the aesthetics of the RV (foam boards, wood, hay bales, etc. are not acceptable materials).

Tents are never permitted in the RV sites. We have a dedicated riverside tent camping area.

The Town of Palisade restricts RVs over 15 years old. However, remodeled ‘vintage’ RVs may be approved upon inspection by the General Manager.
