We’ve seen private bathhouses, private dog parks, and private hot tubs, but could reserving an entire laundry room be the next thing RV parks use to stand out?
Seasoned RVer that I am, I am pretty immune to surprises, but this was certainly something new. After idly scrolling through a long list of legalese rules, I spotted a link to laundry room rental. The option to rent a laundry room at an RV park did surprise me.
Rent a laundry room by the hour? I just had to click. I had been to RV parks where you had to buy a number of loads online, buy a card with dollars to use the machines, or have enough heavy quarters to play the coin washer slots, but I have never had the opportunity to rent a laundry room!
The idea of exclusive use is intriguing, though. No need to debate whether to take someone else’s laundry out of the washer or dryer. Or set my timer to make sure no one has to take my clothes out of a machine.
They list the prices online and mention that they have three large-capacity washers and two large-capacity dryers. It costs $15 for 1 hour and 30 minutes, $7 to add on to already booked time, or $25 for 3 hours.
This was at a self-service RV park, The Silos at Canyon RV Park in Canyon, TX, just outside of Amarillo. Phone calls and emails were answered immediately, and all instructions for WiFi passwords and bathroom codes were sent via email or text promptly.
It’s not necessarily a destination park, but everything worked well, and although the sites are rather close, it was an easy in/out for our stay.
Would you pay a little bit extra for your own private laundry facility rental? Please leave a comment below.
