We got our Deltic statement today, and our campsite fee went up tremendously. Like, almost 7 times what it was. That's not the per acre part. It's the 1 acre campsite fee, as they call it. Anybody else get hosed that bad this year?

 

[soarkrebel]

Yep!!

Timberstar has a 90 dollar assessment for keys on my statement.........I don't have any locks from them!!!!!

I have a call in for them to call me to discuss this...........

I haven't gotten my deltic invoice yet.

We've been paying a Camp Area fee for several years..leased from the old Anderson Tully...can't remember their new name, since they were bought out!! Lease fee is $100 per building on the 2 acre camp area.......so my lease is an additional $100 per year for the cabin!!

supposed to cover revenue lost from timber resources on that 2 acres..yeah right...they get about $1800 or so a year off that 2 acres with us!!!!!!!!

Unless the timber market improves, I think we are really going to get nailed by lease increases. We bought 2 acres for our camp to set on several years ago, but the dang property taxes are ridiculous for a spot in the middle of the woods.

I can see an increase, everything goes up in value these days, but that drastic of an increase is ridiculous. :down:

What is the campsite fee on Deltic?

What is the campsite fee on Deltic?

Their website says $350/year.

That's what it used to be. :frown: Our increased to $2400. According to the letter we got everyone's may not go up the same amount. It's gonna be based on what you have as far as location. We are right on the Ouachita River so recreational use other than hunting comes into play when you look at ours. At least that's the way our letter read.

Is that for a permanent camp with permanent structures? What kind of acreage does the camp encompass?

 

[Whiskey River]

Yes, permanent camp, covered skinning rack, deck and floating dock. It's all on an acre or maybe just a tad over and acre. The statement says one acre is all they charge us for.

So around $200.00 a month to have a campsite on a lease. That is a bit steep. Hunting leases have inflated sice they came to be. More of the same is in the future. Supply and demand.

Leases

Lots of ads in the Dem Gaz today looking for members.

I hope a bunch of leases are dropped. I know expenses are going up, but this lease thing is getting out of hand.

I tried to warn you guys on some posts about a month ago- Plum Creek with their $6.00 per acre charge and additional camping site and food plot fees-I knew the other timber companies would not take too long to follow their lead.

 

[huntbigbucs]

Only ones really going up are the major corporations. The smaller / local timber companies pretty much have stayed the same, and if they do increase its very small amount
