Ridge Ranch Rates — Simple, family-friendly pricing
Nestled in Addison, Michigan, Ridge Ranch Campground is a welcoming place for families and outdoor lovers. Below is a clear summary of our nightly rates for tents and RVs, what each rate includes, any extra fees to expect, and how to reserve your site. Use this as a quick planning tool so you can budget confidently and enjoy your stay.
Current Nightly RV Rates
RV site prices vary by site type and included hookups. Here’s a quick breakdown to help you choose the right fit for your rig and budget.
We offer a range of sites so you can balance comfort and value depending on your trip.
How full-hookup RV prices change by amp and features
Full-hookup prices depend on the site’s electrical service and extras. Sites with 30-amp service cost less than 50-amp sites, which support larger RVs and heavier loads. Seasonal site rates run from $3,000 to $4,000; premium seasonal sites are typically $4,500 to $5,000. Those differences reflect site size, utility capacity, and added conveniences.
What the nightly RV rate covers
Your nightly RV rate includes essentials like water and electric hookups and access to waste disposal. You’ll also have the campground’s grounds and recreational areas to enjoy. For exact site photos and the latest pricing, check the online reservation system.
Tent Camping Rates
Tent camping at Ridge Ranch is a back-to-nature option priced for a more rustic experience.
From primitive spots to more comfortable tent sites near conveniences, we have options for every camper.
Primitive tent site details
Primitive tent sites are $25 per night and offer a minimal, nature-focused stay. Upgrading to a standard or premium tent site adds access to water, restrooms, and closer proximity to facilities.
Tent camping amenities
Tent site rates include restroom and shower facilities, plus access to hiking trails and a nearby lake for swimming and fishing — great if you want nature without giving up basic comforts.
Discounts for weekly and monthly stays
Staying longer? We offer discounts to make extended visits more affordable.
These discounts help families and groups stretch their budget while enjoying more time outdoors.
How extended-stay pricing compares to nightly rates
Extended-stay discounts add up. For example, a standard RV site for a week would be about $283.50 after the 10% discount, versus $315 at the nightly rate — so longer stays usually save money.
Knowing how different pricing structures for extended stays affect revenue is important for campground operations and planning.
Campsite Revenue Management & Pricing Model
Revenue Management (RM) aims to maximize revenue and profitability for perishable inventory. This study introduces the MERMCAMP model (Model for Evaluation of Revenue Management in Camping Industry) — a framework to assess RM practices in outdoor hospitality. Built from earlier research and refined through a Delphi survey with a panel of 10 experts, MERMCAMP covers 119 items across eight elements: culture, forecasting, segmentation, pricing, distribution channels, competitors, evaluation and digitalization. The model offers a practical, scalable approach for campsite operators to improve pricing, inventory management, and performance.

These fees help support campground upkeep and keep amenities in good condition for everyone.
Pricing for extra guests, additional tents, and golf cart passes
Extra guests are charged $5 per person beyond the site’s included count. Golf cart rentals begin in 2025; pricing will be posted once available.

While online bookings are a main channel for guests, campgrounds also balance sales strategies — like allotments with tour operators — to manage occupancy and revenue.
Camping Revenue Management: Allotments vs. Direct Sales
In hospitality, an allotment is a block of pre-negotiated “rooms” purchased by a tour operator. For campsites, allotments can account for a significant share of mobile home sales. For owners, allotments are a double-edged sword: they guarantee sales but often come with deep discounts. Selling too much inventory through allotments can hurt profitability, so operators must balance allotment contracts with expected direct sales at full or lightly discounted prices.
