The Williston RV Resort Market

By Enid Hinton


Working in an occupation that may require frequent relocation of yourself and your family requires that you become aware of housing availability in each new region that you must travel to. Many times the best choice is to travel with your housing intact or to select mobile housing that is in place when you arrive. Because of the oil boom in North Dakota a Williston RV resort may provide the perfect solution for your situation.

Williston, North Dakota is found in the middle of oil territory and because of this many RV parks have been established in an effort to supply workers with places to live that provide electricity and sewage hook ups for their RVs. Most of the sites have places for workers to park their rigs and empty units available for rent to individuals or employers who supply housing.

The monthly rental includes as many amenities as can be traditionally found in permanent housing such as laundry facilities, storage areas, and exercise rooms. Some locations charge for electricity in addition to the lease amount while others include it in base rental costs. Leases can range from month to month to up to or more than a full year. Many oil drilling companies lease units for their crews use.

Vacationers can also take advantage of these locations if they make reservations in advance. The individual units that are available for rent usually offer free Wi-Fi for tenants along with flat screen televisions and shower rooms in convenient locations around the grounds. There is a general pet friendly attitude in most locations that have grassy areas around the units. Those who travel light can obtain linens, dishes and cooking utensils on site.

To provide extra comfort and prevent heat and cooling expenses the RVs have been fortified with insulation designed to control polar conditions. They have skirts on all of the units and all exposed pipes are wrapped to prevent freezing during the winter storms. The insulation also helps to control the heat during the long summer days. In an effort to control dust in the parks many have put crushed rocks on all of the access roads and parking areas. Security cameras provide extra protection for residents.

You will find shopping areas within a ten mile radius of the housing location. This also includes churches, movie theaters, schools and dining locations. Some management teams have equipped the sites with small convenience stores on the property for tenant use.

A fairly new concept that has developed in the area includes an indoor complex that rents units that are located inside a large building. The tenants and units are completely protected from weather and any other outside issues. The doors remain locked from the outside and residents have entry keys. Surveillance cameras are located inside and outside the building and residents have access to all amenities available to those living in other locations. It is considered to be like having long term storage for your RV that you can live in.

Providing access to housing that can be acquired immediately gives workers and travelers an advantage not found in most parts of this country and allows those who must relocate often solutions to housing issues not found elsewhere.
