What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Camp Margaritaville's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must pay a one-time set-up fee to establish a webpage on the Resort System Website. The amount of this fee depends on whether the resort contains dwellings.
If the Camp Margaritaville resort does not contain dwellings, the one-time Resort System Website setup fee is currently $8,750. However, if the resort does contain dwellings, the one-time set-up fee is higher, totaling $38,750.
The FDD excerpt does not specify when this fee is due, only that it is required in exchange for Camp Margaritaville converting a webpage on the Resort System Website to a 'Resort Website'. A prospective franchisee should confirm the payment schedule and any related obligations with the franchisor before signing the franchise agreement.
