Just looking on Reserve America website at the available cabins
We'll my first couple of trips to D'Bone the cabins were at $90.
After a while they went up of course to $120.
I am looking at $175 per nites for those same cabins plus tax and stuff, $200/nite! :yikes
Someone correct me please. :banghead

OUCH.....that will probably deal me out......
What is the dates for the D'arbone gathering? It's almost here , 5 month away.
Wow, that is a high price. I wouldn't have thought a state facility would charge that much.
JBE doing what he does, sad
It's the second weekend in November.Quote:

Still not bad price considering you can sleep about 8 people in there
Compared to other places I have stayed for vacation, its a steal
Been griping about this all year. Gate fees went up to $3 a head also, $24 every time my family visits our local state parks, sad.....

Sounds Cheap to me -- The Neighbor has a fifth wheel camper for 38 Thousand -- or a Bus Conversion for more than your House --- and you have to pay to park or Build a barn to keep the Dogs away from the tires.
I knew the prices were going up, but WOW that seems like a huge increase. They did install new appliances and some furniture this year, guess they trying to recoup all that cost in one year. I will not be camping for the gathering this year either, I will make the drive to and from West Monroe both nights to save $400. CRAZY!
Check out the D'arbonne Motel. $45ish/night. Not the fanciest place you ever stayed but it works.Quote:

You must realize that the state of LA is BROKE! The Farmerville/Union Parish area is severely economically depressed. The facilities on lake D'Arbonne are atrocious, the lake commission is a joke, everybody tries to get every penny they can! No good place to stay here, D'Arbonne Motel is a rat hole! Other than that; everything is fine.
That's the truth - no way for me.Quote:

That's fine, but you have to include state tax, parish tax, and the hotel tax in the costs involved. It adds up.
I didn't know there were standard and deluxe cabins. What's the difference?

Pawpaw, this is the price for all Louisiana State Parks. D'Arbonnes Cabins are all Deluxe with the exception of two. #5 and #6 are Lodges. Deluxe Cabins sleep 8 and the Lodges sleep 16.Quote:

I looked at my reservation confirmation/receipt earlier; there were no added taxes but there was a $6 transaction fee.
[QUOTE=RMGeorge;3445942]That is correct RMGeorge.Quote:

Maxwell thanks for clearing that up.

Turning into a rich man's game...which isn't me. Add gas, bait, food, etc. including days off work, and it's an expensive trip already. Not sure I'll be joining next time, but we'll see.
We plan to be there anyway...sure hope to see y'all there.
This gives me more reason to buy a tent.....real camping, campfire coffee, staring at a fire on a cool fall night.....can't beat it.
That or sleep under the stars.:biggrinQuote:

Green Shiner, the Tax is a new thing. I believe it started in March or April of this year. The new reservation I just made had tax on it. It use to be just a flat rate plus $6 fee.
Looks like the early bird (George) saved $231 on a 3 day booking!Quote:
