Fireman’s Fund, Leavitt Recreation Offer Campground Coverages

In an effort to offer campground owners protection, Fireman’s Fund Insurance Co. has teamed with Leavitt Recreation & Hospitality Insurance to offer a comprehensive program of risk management and coverages.

According to the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds, total campground and RV bookings were up 23 percent from January to May 2008, versus the same period last year. Moreover, campgrounds have expanded services including boat and bicycle rentals, general stores, concession stands, LPgas sales, playgrounds, RV storage, camping cabins, lodges, cottage rentals, self service laundries and restrooms. Owners often have multiple locations in more than one state. As a result, campgrounds present a variety of insurance needs, the companies said.

Campground coverages include:
-Property coverage for buildings, restrooms, community centers, out buildings, camping cabins, laundry facilities, etc.

-General Liability coverage in case of bodily injury or property damage.

-Inland marine coverage for equipment such as tractors, maintenance equipment, etc.

-Auto coverage for the vehicles owned by the campground owners.
