Dear Chinook Bend Members,
The resort has become
increasingly busy over the last month and there is concern over the lack
of reservations we have received from members. The resort must begin to
institute a more robust reservation process for members as well as
affiliates and public guests. This reservation process will allow the
resort to keep the park full of campers as well as reduce the chances of
members arriving to find sites unavailable or not in the location, they
prefer.
Some members have
stressed that they have guaranteed spots and/or privileges that are
stipulated in their contracts. The resort understands there were
agreements made that referenced “preferred” sites and boat mooring
privileges under previous ownership. The resort will continue to
accommodate these member preferences as long as reservations are made in
advance and space is available at the time the reservation is made. It
is important to note that there are more “preferred” agreements then
there are spaces in which to host the members that have them.
With that stated, it is imperative
that all members make reservations at least 60 days prior to
arrival, although currently we do accept reservations up to 1
year in advance. Your assistance in this matter will help improve our
services to the members as well as allow the park to operate in a much
more efficient manner.
Overall, the
resort must continue to keep the resort profitable by booking as many
sites as possible throughout the year. We all want to keep the park well
maintained and upgrade the services offered year after year. Advance
reservations will allow us to do just that.
In closing,
the owners as well as staff would like to thank many of you for the
support and encouragement offered over the last couple of months. This
is truly the members’ park and through strong communication and mutual
expectations, we can make it the best Home Park in the Northwest region.
We feel like part of a new community that may have a few hurdles to
overcome, though it will truly blossom into a strong extended family
with a common goal.
