The Cottonwood field notes
What does a monthly RV stay in Dripping Springs cost?

Build your budget around the full quote, not just the site rate.
Start with your site rate.
Cottonwood’s monthly RV sites start at $650 plus electricity. A $150 deposit is required, and taxes are additional. Ask the office to confirm the price for your dates and site before committing. The deposit is separate from the recurring site rate; discuss its terms before paying.
Ask how electricity is billed.
Confirm the calculation and billing schedule with the park. Your actual use depends on weather, air conditioning, appliances and your RV. A monthly site rate is not an all-in electric bill, so avoid comparing it with an all-bills-included quote without adjusting for the difference.
Include the rest of your RV budget.
Think about your RV payment or ownership costs, insurance, maintenance, transport and any paid services you use. Ask which park charges apply to your stay. A site rental and an apartment rental are different products; compare your full situation rather than using the site fee alone as a savings claim.
Get the details before you pay.
Write down the dates, site type, rate, deposit, electricity method and payment schedule. Review the current no-refund policy and ask about minimum-stay or extension terms. That makes the quote useful when plans change or you decide to stay longer.
