Rules and Policies

Everything you need to know before and during your stay, in one place. The first three sections cover arrival, payment, and cancellation. The rest covers life on the grounds. Together with your reservation, these terms form the RV Site Service Agreement between you and the resort.

If anything here is unclear, call the office before you book rather than after you arrive. We would much rather answer a question than turn someone away at the gate. All rates, specials, terms and policies are subject to change without notice.

Check-in is after 1:00 PM. All guests must register at the office on arrival. Early check-in is available on request, when available, for $25.

RV Check-Out

Check-out is by 11:00 AM. Late check-out is available on request, when available, for $25. If you leave after 11:00 AM without arranging a late check-out, the $25 late check-out fee applies. All outstanding balances must be paid by check-out.

Tiny Home Check-In & Check-Out

Check-in is after 3:00 PM and check-out is by 11:00 AM. Early check-in and late check-out are available on request, when available, for $25 each. All guests must register at the office on arrival, and all outstanding balances must be paid by check-out.

After-Hours Arrival

The office is open 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily. After hours, the resort is gated with electronic access for everyone’s security. Arriving late is no problem: our team calls every guest on that day’s arrival list at about 5:30 PM to walk you through the after-hours arrival process, so you can get in and get settled with ease.

2. Reservations and Payment

Deposit and Payment

Nightly RV sites and tiny homes: the first 7 nights of your stay are paid at the time of booking. Stays of 7 nights or fewer are paid in full.

Monthly RV stays: a $500 deposit is required at the time of booking.

Accepted payment: we gladly accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express. A 2.89% processing fee applies to credit card payments. We share it up front so there are no surprises.

Balances: all outstanding balances must be paid by check-out.

Monthly Stays

Monthly rates require a stay of at least 30 days. Monthly stays are paid by the month, and there are no refunds for leaving early. Want a few extra days? Let the office know. Extra days are billed at the daily equivalent of your monthly rate.

3. Cancellations and Refunds

Cancellation Policy

The fun continues rain or shine, so we don’t offer credits or refunds for weather. Before canceling, ask us about moving your dates instead. It’s usually the less expensive option.

Nightly RV sites

  • More than 30 days before arrival: $35 processing fee
  • 14 to 30 days: a fee equal to one night’s stay
  • 3 to 14 days: a fee equal to one night’s stay
  • Less than 3 days: deposit forfeited

Tiny homes

  • More than 30 days before arrival: $35 processing fee
  • 14 to 30 days: a fee equal to one night’s stay
  • 3 to 14 days: deposit forfeited
  • Less than 3 days: deposit forfeited

Monthly RV stays

  • More than 14 days before arrival: $35 processing fee
  • 14 days or less: $250 processing fee

No-Show Policy

If you haven’t arrived within 24 hours of your arrival date and haven’t contacted us, your reservation will be canceled and your deposit forfeited. Running late? Just call us and we’ll hold your site.

Date Changes and Refunds

Date changes: the date change fee applies each time you change your dates. For RV sites, changes made more than 30 days before arrival are free, and changes made 30 days or less before arrival are $35. For tiny homes, every date change is $35.

Shortening your stay before arrival: removing nights from a reservation counts as canceling those nights, so the cancellation policy applies to the nights you remove.

After check-in: there are no refunds after check-in, including for leaving early or for weather.

4. Quiet Hours

Quiet hours are 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM daily. Please keep music, TVs and conversation low so your neighbors can rest. Generators are not permitted at any time.

5. Occupancy and Visitors

Occupancy: up to 5 registered guests per site, including visitors. Need room for more? Ask management for approval.

Visitors: day visitors must check in at the office when they arrive. Visitors using resort amenities pay a $20 daily fee.

6. Pets

  • Up to 2 pets per site.
  • Keep pets on a leash whenever they’re outside your RV.
  • Please don’t leave pets unattended.
  • Pets are not allowed in the pool area, pickleball courts, restrooms, lounge or event center.
  • Pet fences are welcome if they are 42 inches tall or shorter, upright and secured, kept neat and clean, and removed when staff ask (for example, for mowing).

Always pick up after your pet. A $25 cleanup fee may be charged if pet waste is left behind, including at K9 sites. The resort may decline any pet for safety reasons.

7. RV Requirements

RV standards: RVs must be currently registered and in good condition, and may be inspected from the outside on arrival. RVs 10 years or older need management approval before booking.

RV types: tents, pop-ups, A-frames, truck campers, and converted buses or trailers generally can’t be accepted. Management may approve exceptions, such as RVIA-certified conversions, so please ask before booking.

8. Vehicles, Parking, and Trailers

Vehicles & Parking

Speed limit: 10 mph on all resort roads. Please obey all posted signs.

Parking: park only in your site’s parking area, never on the street, grass or vacant sites. We’ll let you know how many vehicles your site allows. For extra vehicles, check with the office about overflow parking; a fee may apply. Vehicles parked against the rules may be towed at the owner’s expense.

Motorized Transportation

Golf carts: you’re welcome to bring your own gas or electric golf cart at no charge. Drivers must be licensed, the cart must be insured, and you’ll sign a short golf cart waiver at check-in.

Other motorized vehicles: ATVs, dirt bikes, go-karts and minibikes are not allowed.

Bicycles

Ride on paved resort roads only, not across other sites or grass. After dark, bikes need a working headlight and taillight, and children must ride with an adult.

Trailers and Boats

Cargo and utility trailers and watercraft can’t stay on your site. Ask the office about nearby storage options.

RV Washing

Professional mobile washing services that bring their own water are welcome. Please don’t use resort water to wash any part of your RV, including the windshield.

9. Your Site

Site Appearance

Outdoor furniture is welcome on your patio or the rear of your RV pad. Screen rooms and canopies are allowed if they are well secured and kept neat. Please keep your site tidy and avoid outdoor storage. To keep the resort looking its best, management may ask you to remove any item that doesn’t meet resort standards.

Trash

Sealed kitchen trash bags may be left at the front of your site between 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM for staff pickup. You can also use the dumpsters near the park exit at any time. Please don’t leave trash outside your RV overnight or outside the dumpsters.

Packages & Mail

The office accepts packages for registered guests. Please include your site number. We can’t hold or forward mail after you depart, and the resort isn’t liable for package delivery.

10. Facility Rules and Children

Smoking is not allowed inside any resort building. Please report any accident or problem to the resort office right away.

Children

We love having families here. Children under 14 must be with an adult in the clubhouse, store, fitness center, pickleball courts and pool. Parents and grandparents are responsible for their children’s actions.

11. RV Site Service Agreement

The sections above, together with your online reservation, set out the terms and conditions of the RV Site Service Agreement between the resort and you as a guest. As a guest, you acknowledge your understanding of your monetary obligations and your obligations to abide by the rules above.

Resort's Right to Terminate the Agreement

Please be advised that the resort rules above are established to ensure the quiet enjoyment of the resort for all guests.

In the event of such breach or activities, the parties responsible will be required to immediately vacate the resort under Texas Penal Code section 30.05 — trespass law — without a refund.

Indemnity and Waiver of Liability

Guests shall indemnify and hold resort owner and management harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, arising from any and all damages or injuries caused by fire, water, wind, civil strife, or acts of God, owner and/or guest actions or inactions or inactions (or those of their employees, agents, or invitees) or any other party related to a guest’s use or occupation of the RV site and resort common areas, regardless of whether such loss was caused by the negligence of any of the resort’s owners or managers.
