Ray,IN Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Many RV parks are charging increased cancellation fees. Today I cancelled our June reservation at Camp Riverslanding in Pigeon Forge, TN. They charged me a $30 cancellation fee. Their policy includes a few more strict fees. Their $531 for 6 days were more than DW wanted to pay. Quote 2000 Winnebago Ultimate Freedom USQ40JD, ISC 8.3 Cummins 350, Spartan MM Chassis. USA IN 1SG retired;Good Sam Life member,FMCA ."

Will B. Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 What's amazing, too, is that the higher (or just "having one") fee, the more likely that this is a campground that will fill your spot if you don't show up. Cruise lines are just as bad, if you miss the full-refund window.

docj Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Their website clearly still states that the cancellation fee ought to have been $15 since you cancelled way in advance of your reservation date. I realize that it's not a huge amount of money, but if you care you might want to file a complaint with the State of TN Consumer Affairs office. From the parks' website: Cancellation Policy: Should you need to cancel a reservation, you must notify us before 12 noon 14 days prior to the reservation date in order to get everything back besides a $15 service fee. If you call after 12 pm less than 14 days prior, then you will lose the deposit completely. Any changes to your reservation must be done at least 14 days prior to your arrival date.

Ray,IN Posted March 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 As separate non-refundable fee on $10 was from the 3rd party booking agency. docj, i'll contact that office, just for the principle of the incident.

cowolter Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) Remember when we all went camping whenever and pretty much wherever we wanted with little preplanning and just enjoyed the good times? No talk of contract laws, double dipping, calling the cops, anger and disappointment? ______________________________ https://digital-planner.com/life/planner Edited April 3, 2022 by cowolter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
