Petoskey KOA RV & Cabin Resort
2015 Seasonal Site Information & Regulations
ADMENDMENT OF RULES & REGULATIONS
The following Rules & Regulations may be amended at any time by the Petoskey KOA RV &
Cabin Resort and will be effective by the posting of such in the Lodge Building.
PAYMENT TERMS
New seasonal reservations for the upcoming season (2016) will require a $500 deposit. This
deposit is fully refundable if cancelled within 60 days. Cancellations made after the 60 days,
will result in forfeiture of deposit.
Payment terms for new and returning seasonals:
The seasonal rate of $4,195.00 is due February 1, 2016. A late fee of $150.00 will be added to
payments received after the due date.
TERM
The payment referenced above is for a campsite rental for the Petoskey KOA RV & Cabin
Resort season, which runs Early May to Mid-October. This is not an annual lease of any kind or
perpetual arrangement. Storage for the off season can be arranged separate from this
agreement. Refunds for violation of rules and subsequent eviction from the park will be
handled using the formula in the section labeled “Payment”.
RECREATION VEHICLE UNITS
The Petoskey KOA RV & Cabin Resort sells Park Model units. All units that occupy a site for
the season must comply with the general guidelines below and are welcomed solely at the
discretion of the Resort. Normally, late model traditional recreational vehicles (normally, not
over 7 years old and in good condition) are allowed. The maximum size for any unit is 399
square feet. The minimum length is 24 feet. All units must have a full-service bathroom. No
pop-up/pop-out units or tents are allowed during a seasonal term. No units with any soft
canvas-type material are permitted. Only one recreational vehicle per site is permitted.
The unit that is approved and registered at the beginning of the season for a particular site is
the only unit that may be used on that Seasonal Site unless the Seasonal Camper has another
RV unit approved by the Campground for use on the site. Portable type canvas screen rooms
attached to awnings are not allowed nor are Fifth Wheel skirts for the hitch area. Wheels may
not be removed from any unit. Park Model units must be skirted with breakaway skirting. The
Petoskey KOA RV & Cabin Resort must approve all skirting and decking. Electric, Water, TV
Cable, and Telephone hookups must be able to be disconnected easily. No permanent wiring or
connections are permitted. The exterior of the RV unit must be kept clean. Failure to do so will
result in one warning. If no results occur within 10 days, the RV unit will be cleaned and a fee
will be charged to the Seasonal Camper.
UTILITIES
1
The campground provides electrical hookups and meters on each site. Seasonal Campers
must provide the hookup from the RV unit to the power pedestal. You will be billed for your
electric use by the Petoskey KOA RV & Cabin Resort. Water is provided by the Campground and
should not be wasted. When watering plants or shrubbery, care should be taken that water not
flow into the street. Wasting of water will be considered a violation of rules.
REQUESTS AND COMMENTS
All requests for site modification including placement and design of defined beds must be
submitted in writing to the Campground. No work is to begin on any project until you have
received written approval. In the event that a seasonal guest no longer wishes to rent the lot
the resort may request the lot be returned to its original condition with alterations removed.
This removal will be at the expense of the guest.
SITE MAINTENANCE
The Petoskey KOA RV & Cabin Resort is responsible for maintenance of all utility systems and
trash collection. The Campground will cut grass in areas that are at least 6 feet wide and are
easily accessible to the power mowers. The Seasonal Camper is responsible for trimming the
grass where not easily accessible by the power mower. The Campground must approve the
location of all plantings including flowers and any object placed on the lawn. Please consult the
Campground in regards to planting and digging of any kind due to underground wiring and
utilities. Please do not deface or cut any planting or trees. All trimming will be done at the
discretion of the Campground. Please refer to the paragraph above in the Requests and
Comments Section
Freestanding external propane tanks are not allowed except for Park Model units. Twin 30#
propane tanks are the largest size allowed on Park Model units. They should be covered and be
in the most inconspicuous place as is possible.
No fences are permitted for pets or any other purpose. Porches and decks are allowed only
on Park Homes. The size and design is to be approved by the Petoskey KOA RV & Cabin Resort
and must have a Bear Creek Township permit if one is required. Decks of less than 10’ in width
are permitted on the door side of the unit and up to 4’ on the front. No decks are allowed on
the rear of the unit or on the off-door side. Decks may only extend to the rear edge of the unit.
A small set of stairs may extend past the end of the unit in most cases. No other structures are
allowed on the site unless approved by the Petoskey KOA RV & Cabin Resort. Storage sheds are
not allowed. Park Model homes may have a white boat-type dock box. All other RV owners
need to contact the Campground before using any type of outside storage unit. No clotheslines
are allowed. Any outside drying apparatus must be attached to the rear of your RV unit. No
appliances or household furniture may be set up outside your RV unit. Boats and utility trailers
are not to be parked on your site. Only a 3’X 3’X 2’ stack of campfire wood is allowed to be
placed neatly outside next to your RV unit. Campfires are allowed in fire rings only. Please do
not move any fire ring. The Campground will place all fire rings.
TAXES
2
If a taxable body should impose a tax on a Recreational Unit, screen porch, deck, or any
other personal or real property tax assessment, the item shall be the responsibility of the
Seasonal Camper to pay that tax to the taxing body or through payments to the Campground.
VEHICLES AND PARKING
Parking space sufficient to accommodate one vehicle is provided for each site. There shall
be no more than two vehicles parked on any one site at any time. Please DO NOT PARK on
vacant sites, roads, or any grass area. If there is an issue with guests and visitors parking,
please see the Office for a pass to park in the paved visitor parking area outside of the Seasonal
Gate. Golf carts are considered a vehicle. Golf carts must be powered by electric and be
equipped with headlights if operated after dark. Only those who are 16 & over and licensed,
and insured drivers, may operate carts or any vehicle inside the park. All vehicles must be
operated in a responsible manner. Vehicle repairs requiring any disassembly of parts are not
allowed including changing of vehicle fluids. No bicycle riding or rollerblading after dark in the
Campground.
USE AND SUBLETTING OF SEASONAL SITE
The Seasonal Site is to be used only by the Seasonal Camper who registered at the beginning
of the season. Seasonal sites may not be subleased. No peddling, soliciting, or operating a
commercial enterprise is allowed in the campground.
OVERNIGHT GUESTS AND DAILY VISITORS
If you are expecting guests or visitors, you may pre-register them at the Campground Office
to receive a parking permit. Guests and visitors must park in designated parking areas either in
the Seasonal Section or outside the Seasonal Gate, and display their parking permit. Guests and
their actions will be the responsibility of the Seasonal Camper.
CHILDREN
Parents are responsible for their children’s safety and conduct at all times. Parents are
responsible for any and all damage caused by their children. Children of guests or visitors are
under the combined responsibility of their parents as well as the Seasonal Camper they are
visiting.
PETS
House pets are allowed in RV units and will be limited to a total of 2 per lot at any given time
during the season. When the pet is taken outside, they must be on a leash and be accompanied
by the owner. Owners must clean up after their pets. Please act responsibly when taking your
pet to the Dog Walk area. Other Seasonal Campers don’t appreciate your pet making deposits
of any kind on their sites. Any pet causing noise, disturbance, or complaints from other
campers must be removed from the Campground.
RESALE OF RECREATIONAL VEHICLE UNITS
The Campground Sales Office will handle the sale of used units for a 7% commission. When
a unit is sold and the buyer wishes the unit to remain on the site, this must be approved by the
Petoskey KOA RV & Cabin Resort. Approval of the unit to remain on the site after it is sold is
3
based partly on the evaluation of the age and condition of the unit and the availability of a
Seasonal Site. Granting usage to a new Park Model or RV owner is done completely at the
discretion of the Campground ownership.
For Sale by Owner:
Seasonal residents wanting to sell an RV unit that is parked on a Seasonal Site must first
notify the Campground of their intent to do so. Only an approved “For Sale” sign may be used
by the owner. Units sold by owner will not be facilitated or shown by the KOA sales office.
LODGE BUILDING USEAGE
If you have a need to use the Lodge Building for an activity or gathering, please contact
management. Should you decide to host an activity or gathering, please be responsible for the
set up and clean up of the building. If you require assistance, please mention to management
when requesting use of the building.
LODGE KEY AND GATE REMOTE
As a Seasonal Camper, you will receive a key to the Lodge Building. Those Seasonal Campers
who live in the 300 section, will also receive a remote opener for the Seasonal Gate. This gate
remote is to be kept by you until you are no longer a Seasonal Camper.
MAIL DELIVERY
In the Lodge Building there is a mail slot unit. The office will pick up all mail from our
mailbox, sort, and place your mail in the slots marked with your name by 3:00 p.m. You are
welcome to place any outgoing mail in the basket in the office. If you receive any packages too
big for your mail slot, we will first try to deliver them to your site. If you are not at home, we
will leave you a note saying your package is sitting next to the mail slot unit in the Lodge
Building. Please check your mail slot frequently even though you don’t normally receive mail.
Following your departure for the Season, please make arrangements for the forwarding of your
mail. The Petoskey Post Office cannot forward any of your mail FROM our address.
OPTIONAL MAIL
In lieu of receiving your mail at the Campground, you could get a Post Office Box at the
Conway Post Office, which is just three miles north of the Campground on US 31. They will
forward your mail at the end of the season. You can still receive packages at the Campground
and we would handle them the same as under Mail Delivery.
