GULF OAKS RV PARK GUEST POLICIES AND RULES
Updated January 2026

We’ve established the following general park rules to help ensure your safety and enjoyment. Guests who fail to comply with the following rules and guidelines will be evicted pursuant to Florida Statute Chapter 513.

PAYMENT

We accept payment through our online Guest Portal with a credit or debit card. A link to the Guest Portal will be included in your reservation confirmation email.

We do not accept cash, money orders, checks, or direct payments through online apps such as venmo, cashapp, etc.
(All services such as PayPal, Venmo, CashApp, etc. offer debit cards to their customers that can be used for payment in our system.)
The balance for the first month is due upon check-in. No partial payments will be accepted. (For short-term guests, full payment for the reservation will be due at check-in.) For guests staying long-term, payment is due on the same date every month as the date you checked in. Failure to pay within three days of your due date will result in a cancellation of the reservation and immediate eviction from the park.

CANCELLATION and REFUND POLICY

Deposit will be refunded if reservation is cancelled 15 days before check-in date.
Deposit will not be refunded for cancellation within 14 days of reservation check-in date. The deposit will be applied as park credit for the customer, valid for up to one year.
Failure to follow these policies in your reservation agreement and/or lease will result in eviction. In the case of eviction, no refunds will be provided.

RESERVATIONS

We enable our guests to make reservations online and choose a lot that is shown as available in the system. We make every effort to accommodate our guests with the lot that is chosen during reservation. In certain cases, the lot reserved may be adjusted to another lot, for reasons such as maintenance and improvements, group reservation adjustments, extended guest stays, etc. We reserve the right to move guests from one lot to another for any reason, at any time.

If we ask you to move from one lot to another, and you prefer to leave the park instead, we will provide a full refund for any days that have been paid for in advance.

EXPECTATIONS OF GUESTS

Guests are expected to be respectful of other park guests, park management, and park grounds at all times. We are a quiet, peaceful park, and loud noises of any kind are strictly prohibited.
