Answers before you book
Everything people usually ask before moving in. If your question isn't here, call or email and the owner will answer it.
Price & payment
How much does it cost?
RV sites are $645 a month. Furnished RVs start at $1,500 a month. Both include electric, water, sewer and Wi-Fi.
Is electric really included?
Yes. There's no meter and no separate power bill in August or any other month. The monthly rate is the whole bill.
What do I pay to move in?
The first month's rent (prorated if you arrive mid-month) and a refundable deposit. We confirm the deposit amount when you book. There are no application or booking fees.
When is rent due?
On the 1st of each month. We'll tell you the payment options when you book.
Can my employer pay?
Yes. We can invoice your company directly for one person or a whole crew. See work crew housing.
Stays & booking
Do you take nightly or weekly stays?
Fireside is built for monthly stays. Ask if you need something shorter. We'll try to make it work if a site is open.
Is there a lease?
It's a simple month-to-month agreement. Stay as long as you like and give 30 days' notice before you move out.
How do I book?
Call (254) 555-0142 or email stay@firesidewaco.com. We usually confirm what's open the same day.
What if I need to cancel before I move in?
Cancel 14 or more days before your move-in date for a full refund. Inside 14 days we keep the deposit unless we can fill the site. See policies.
Sites & hookups
What hookups do the sites have?
Every site has a pedestal with 30 amp, 50 amp and standard 110V outlets. Each site also has water and a sewer connection.
Will my RV fit?
The sites are gravel back-in pads that hold full-size fifth wheels and travel trailers like the ones in our photos. Tell us your RV's length when you book and we'll confirm the fit before you drive out.
Do you have an RV age limit?
No hard cutoff. RVs need to be clean, in good repair and fully working. We'll ask for a recent photo when you book.
Are the sites pull-through?
No. They're back-in sites laid out for people who set up and stay a while. Ask if you'd like a hand backing in.
Where do I park my car or truck?
Beside your RV on your site. Tell us if you're bringing a work trailer or a second vehicle so we can plan the space.
Living at Fireside
Is the Wi-Fi good enough for work?
Wi-Fi is included at every site. If you work online we'll send you a current speed test first.
Are pets allowed?
Yes. Up to two well-behaved pets are welcome. Keep them leashed outside and pick up after them. Don't leave them tied out or in kennels outside your RV.
Is there laundry on site?
Not yet. There are laundromats in Lacy Lakeview and Waco about 15 minutes away.
Can I get mail at the park?
Not at the park address yet. Most monthly guests use a PO box or a mailbox store in Waco or Lacy Lakeview.
Is it quiet?
Very. There are only four sites on a family property off a county lane. Quiet hours are 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.
Can I have visitors?
Of course. Daytime guests are welcome. Anyone staying more than a few nights needs to be on your agreement.
