Membership Transfers

Wilderness Village membership terms may be transferred to another individual through a private sale or transferred to an eligible direct family member. Wilderness Village Resort does not set the private sale price, negotiate sales, or act as a broker between buyers and sellers.

Private Membership Sales

Members wishing to sell their membership are responsible for finding their own purchaser and negotiating the sale price and terms directly with the buyer. Once a buyer has been found, the selling member and purchaser must contact the Wilderness Village Resort office to complete the required membership transfer documentation.

Membership Transfer Fees

Membership Transfer Fees apply to all transfers and are payable directly to Wilderness Village Resort. Transfer fees are based on the remaining term of the membership and are prorated for declining membership terms. The transfer fee may be paid by the seller, the buyer, or shared between both parties, as agreed upon between the buyer and seller. Wilderness Village can provide the applicable transfer fee before the parties complete the sale.

Before Purchasing a Membership

Anyone considering purchasing a Wilderness Village membership privately is strongly encouraged to contact the Resort office before completing the purchase or providing payment to the seller.

Wilderness Village can verify:

• the remaining membership term available for transfer;
• whether the membership is in good standing and eligible to be transferred;
• the approximate current market value associated with that membership term; and
• the applicable Membership Transfer Fee.

Our staff can also explain the transfer process, current annual fees, membership rules and the ongoing obligations associated with membership.

For privacy reasons, Wilderness Village will not disclose personal, account-specific financial, or other confidential information about the current member.

Purchasers should not assume that possession of a membership certificate, bill of sale, or private agreement with a seller means that the membership has been officially transferred. A private sale between a buyer and seller does not complete the membership transfer.

The transfer is complete only after all required documentation and applicable fees have been received and the transfer has been processed by Wilderness Village Resort.

Allow Ten Business Days for Processing

Please allow up to 10 business days for Wilderness Village to complete a membership transfer once all required documentation, information and applicable fees have been received. Buyers and sellers should consider this processing period when determining their sale and possession dates.

Transfers to Direct Family Members

A membership may be transferred directly to an eligible family member rather than sold to an unrelated purchaser. For membership transfer purposes, direct family members include:

• Children
• Siblings
• Parents

Direct family transfers must still be processed through the Wilderness Village Resort office. Required transfer documentation must be completed and the applicable Membership Transfer Fee paid. Members considering transferring their membership to a direct family member should contact the Resort office in advance so staff can explain the requirements and ensure the transfer is completed correctly.

Important Information

All memberships remain subject to the Wilderness Village Campground Association Articles of Association, Resort Rules, Member Regulations, policies, annual fees and other applicable membership requirements. Any outstanding amounts or other requirements that prevent a membership from being transferred must be addressed before the transfer can be completed.
