THE HEARING IS OVER, NOW WE WAIT FOR THE JUDGES DECISION - see notes here


Members,                                                          
As we all know, things have changed now that the virus is a part of our culture.  Because of this, temporarily, the following new density restrictions/guidelines will be instituted and must be followed in order to assure the proper operation of the park and the health and well-being of all of our members.
  1. No guest sites will be allowed
  2. Immediate family only on each site
  3. The pool will be closed at least early this summer.
  4. 2 RV’s will be allowed per site (family only please)
  5. Social distancing
  6. No close communications with the camp host or caretakers (because they interact with so many members, they must be protected)
  7. The bathhouses will be kept open and disinfectant wipes both outside and inside the facility will be provided.  Please use them before, and certainly after touching any surface.  If there are no wipes available there, use your own.  Use the bathhouse only when necessary.  These are the only communal areas open.  For the sake of you and your fellow members, due diligence is necessary.
  8. Limit communing in common areas of the park.  Also, no tennis or pickleball, cabana BBQ, kiddie toy, and for fire pits, immediate family only.
On another note, as I warned you in the January letter, the legal challenge has exploded.  There now is a new judge who, so far, is uninterested in our past legal fights and all accompanying rationale, i.e. all the legal work we’ve paid for in the past is now for not.  Therefore, she seems all for disposing of this case in deference to the BIA (the tribe).  I trust you know what that means.  This is all complicated by the fact that all our past lawyers have moved on to other firms elsewhere, so our firm’s existing attorneys all have to be brought up to speed.  This falls on Frank Smith to work out (hours and hours of very difficult work).  Next time you see him, you might want to give him a hidey ho for his efforts.  And, naturally, this is costing us big time.  In the last 2 months alone, our legal bills have totaled approx. $80K.  As difficult as this is, it’s the only way to preserve our precious park for our usage.  There will unfortunately have to be a legal assessment to pay for this.  For the regular side the assessment will be $375, and for the expanded side, $750, both due 6/15/2020.  This will basically cover the bulk of our legal expenses this year so far.  What the future brings, nobody knows.  This is not happy news for any of us, but our legal team thinks we have a good shot at keeping our park for the remainder of our contracted tenure.
Chin up, and have a happy and healthy summer, and enjoy the park.
For the board, Van Botts, president  

Mill Bay RV Resort
is a Private Membership Only Park
We do not have any camping sites available for rent
Our park is located approximately 6 miles North of Chelan, on the water, just below the Mill Bay Casino.  Mill Bay RV Resort is a private park and is not connected to any other park.  On a first come first served basis - our members are allowed to spend 2 weeks in the park and then must be out for a week.  This formula can be repeated as many times a year as you desire, with park space availability. 

At this time, we don’t take reservations because in the seventeen (17) years we have managed the park, we have never had to turn away a member.  All 38 sites have water, sewer, cable and electric (50 & 30 Amp (except #34 & 35).  We also have a heated swimming pool, lighted tennis & pickleball court, group BBQ area, 2 docks and several buoys for boats and sea-doos.  We have a fenced storage area ($40 a month) for one (1) sleeping type vehicle, on a space available basis.  We have a lease on the property that lasts until 2034.  The Member’s Association, through the Board of Directors, runs the park with mostly volunteer work, including Camp Caretakers and a “Camp Host”, to help keep the costs down.  If you are interested in obtaining a membership, see our membership page on this website.
