Well, If you are looking for RV park’s rates list then it won’t be possible for you for getting a true info on websites. Because usually, the rates will not be the same as you have seen on a website. So I would suggest you to meet with a travel agent personally.

I am another one for ignoring parks without published rates. No rates on website, click, next one. Their loss.

Hmmmmmm...... If in my research, I find a CG with great reviews, but no rates on their WEB Site, I cannot imagine simply dismissing the place! I will actually pick up the telephone and TALK to them. I know talking is becoming almost taboo in this day and age, but I can't imagine passing up on a great spot because of such a small issue.

If our discussion reveals they are too expensive, so be it, but it also gives me the opportunity to negotiate both the site I want and a better rate. Anyone else remember how that works? ;-)))

Agreed.....Too many of us have better things to do than simply make the call.

There is also a point where updating pricing becomes more trouble that its worth. If there is a $100.00 fee to raise prices a dollar or keep a site updated in general. Than you must decide on less changes or not posting prices particularly if they are subject to change.

I'm sure CG's have had to debate with someone wanting to stay at an old rate they got off a web site. Or have implemented a change that is not on their web site. At some point it is easier to simply omit pricing altogether and avoid the fees and chaos associated with web pricing.

A reputable web designer will give the owner a portal with a password so that the owner can change the rates or other info as needed. No extra fee. The site will have an edit page where this info can be changed by the owner. It's not a hassle unless the owner changes his rates frequently... if he does that, give the cg a miss as well. A well run campground has an owner that tracks his expenses too.

Free website hosting has this kind of easy usage. Free site hosting is widely available now if you don't want to pay a web designer. Just design your own. Here's just one of the several that's available and the sites look just as good. http://www.webs.com/

Have to agree. As I mentioned before, when I was doing websites for parks/campgrounds, I would give them a free simple update at the end of the year for price changes. They also could update more when they renewed for the year.

It will be easy to find , if you provide a location for searching RV parks. Its better to go for a travel agent becuse they have a updated knowledge for new places with new rates.

I want to see the rate also. But there is noting worse than seeing the WRONG rate. The "proper" rate only shows up when you call or make a reservation. To me that is bait and switch advertising. Thank goodness it is not too common.

We also have with us two "fur babies". A Basset Hound and a Chihuahua mix. Both are rescue dogs.
