PARKING YOUR RV ON YOUR SITE:
Pull-through parking is strictly prohibited except in the designated pull-through area north of Palm Park. A Resort Ranger must be present anytime an RV is being parked on a site, including any RV that is returning to a previously occupied site. If you wish your partner to guide you as you back into your site, you may do so. However, the Ranger is still required to be present as a safety observer. If you move your RV for leveling purposes after the Ranger leaves, please make sure that the front of your RV (not including hitch) is flush with the front of the concrete pad. (If not, you will be required to move it even though you may already be set up!) If your power cord is not long enough, extra cord can be purchased at local vendors for RV supplies. Sewer lines must be kept completely up off the ground and sloping to the sewer connection per a City of Casa Grande ordinance. Extra sewer hose and/or sewer hose supports can also be purchased at local RV suppliers. Guests are asked to review the site condition with the Ranger, and sign off on the Ranger site inspection form. MAKING A RESERVATION:
We accept reservations for one month or longer stays. A $400.00 deposit is required to reserve your space. Current Annual Residents will automatically have their sites reserved for the following season. We will do our best to get you on the site that you request! However, please understand that, except for Annual Residents, your deposit guarantees you a space in Palm Creek, not a particular site. SITE RENTAL PRIORITY:
Annual reservations have first priority on site choice. Should an individual request to become an Annual on your monthly site, you will have the choice of taking the site annually or being moved to another site once your original departure date has been reached. If you elect not to retain your site as an Annual Resident and if you have not yet arrived or wish to extend your stay, you will be assigned to a similar site as close as possible to your original site. REFUNDS FOR CANCELLED RESERVATIONS:
A full refund, minus a $50.00 administration fee, for a site reservation will be issued only with a written cancellation, received at least 30 days prior to your scheduled arrival date. There are no refunds for unused stay.

You may not sublease your unit without the prior approval of Palm Creek Management. All subleases must be submitted to and approved by Palm Creek Management a minimum of 30 days prior to the arrival of your Renters. Subletting of an empty space is not permitted. Your Renters will be subject to the rules of Palm Creek and must abide by the rules as if they were the Resident, including the minimum age requirements. Any violation of the rules by a Renter shall be grounds for removal from the community and you as the Resident shall be held liable for all damages and/or costs associated with the Renters actions. All subleases of 30 days or more not processed through the Palm Creek Rental Office shall be subject to a $75 Registration Fee. Management reserves the right to perform a background check on all Renters and withhold approval of subleases at its sole and absolute discretion. If you plan to rent your unit , you will be responsible for the electric charges and will be ultimately responsible for all rent due to Palm Creek upon occupancy of the space. It is your responsibility to have your renter check-in at the registration desk to receive their Photo Name Badges and Parking Permits. You may sublease to a MAXIMUM of two people at any one time. Rental rates at Palm Creek are for 2 people per site. If you rent your unit out, your Renters are the two that are allowed to use the facilities. If you are renting your unit, you may use the facilities while they are renting however you must pay the $7.00 per person per day visitor fee. Any resident found abusing this rule will not have their annual lease renewed. Palm Creek Sales can assist you in the rental of your unit or you can rent it on your own. Third party rental services are not permitted in the Resort. If you should questions regarding private rentals please see the Guest Service Office for more information. ELECTRIC POLICY:
Arizona Public Service (APS), which supplies electricity to Palm Creek, requires all Annual Residents to be billed directly by APS. All Guests will pay Palm Creek directly for their electric usage when staying for a month or longer. Billings will be done monthly. There will be a deposit of $50.00 required at check-in, which will be applied to the final month’s electric bill. Please notify the office two days prior to your departure that you will need your final meter reading. We will deduct your final bill from your deposit and refund you any balance due upon checkout. STORAGE:
The City of Casa Grande allows one RV to be parked on each site. Please note: All extra RVs, boats, utility trailers, flatbed trailers, etc., must be stored in the storage area. Your space should hold two automobiles unless your RV site, Park or Village home is oversized by additions or improvements. Should that be the case, your extra vehicles must be stored in the storage area. If your car-dolly does not fit under the rear end of your RV, it too will have to be placed in storage. Please visit Guest Services for applicable fees and storage space availability. A Resort Ranger must escort all stored RVs, trailers, etc., in or out of storage. Any RV, boat, utility trailer, car, truck, etc. placed in storage must be registered with Guest Services. If not registered, it will be subject to “Tow Away and Impound” and the owner will be liable for all costs and charges. TEMPORARY LOADING AND UNLOADING:
For the purpose of loading and unloading only, an extra RV or utility trailer may be parked on a non-annual space close to your own. You must obtain a temporary parking permit from the office and park free of charge (no electrical hookup permitted) for up to 3 days. Please notify Guest Services and get a parking pass first. You may also park for a short time in the street in front of your site, subject to other vehicles and RV’s being able to pass by safely. A Ranger may request that the vehicle be moved, if necessary, to allow for maneuvering of an RV being parked nearby. No overnight parking is allowed in the streets at any time for any vehicle type.

It is the responsibility of the seller to settle any rent refunds with the purchaser prior to purchaser occupancy. If you are selling your Park Home or RV please register your “For Sale” information with the Palm Creek Resort Sales office. Units sold that will be relocated outside the Resort must be moved within 30 days of purchase. Failure to remove a unit will result in rent being charged to the new owner.

Three “Misdirected Mail” boxes are located throughout the resort. Please place any mail delivered to your mailbox incorrectly in the Misdirected Mailboxes or hand deliver to the Mailroom in the Administration building. Annual Residents:
Please notify the mailroom when you will be away for a significant length of time, and also when you return, so the mailroom will know what to do with your mail (hold it, forward it or put it in your box). This is an important step to insure proper delivery of your mail. Mail For All Other Guests:
Pick up your key in the mailroom each year. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A BOX, WE CANNOT DELIVER YOUR MAIL. Please present your check-in receipt at the mailroom window to get your key. Mailbox Numbers:
Your mailbox number will be the same as your site number. If you move from one site to another, you can expect that your box number will change to the new site number. If you are returning year after year, please let the mailroom know a week or so ahead of your arrival date so that we can begin holding your mail. You may send a postcard or call us at 520-876-8978. Mailroom calls will not be accepted on the toll-free reservation line. When Leaving for Home or Another Destination:
