Registration, Rates, & Occupancy

Authority

The Campground Manager has full authority regarding the interpretation and enforcement of all rules.

Registration

All campers must register in person or by phone within 24 hours of occupying a site. "Tagged" sites are considered rented.

Base Occupancy

Rates are based on a single unit (1 RV or 1 Tent) with a maximum of 4 occupants.

Fees & Payments

Additional fees apply for extra tents or guests. Payments are due upfront. Monthly fees incur a $30 late fee after a 5-day grace period.

Rental Requirements

Only adults may rent sites; an adult must be present at all times if minors are occupying the site.

Site Boundaries

The space between electric boxes designates the site. Management may adjust spacing if necessary.

Refunds & Cancellation Policies

General Policy

No refunds or credits are given for inclement weather or mechanical failure of the camper's equipment.

Rule Violations

If a camper is asked to leave due to a rule violation, disorderly conduct, or illegal activity, no refund will be issued.

Report Issues

If a resort-side failure occurs, credits may be considered only if no other sites are available for relocation.

Appearance Standards

Unit Types

Long-term sites require units that originated as campers. Short-term sites allow Class A-C, travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, pop-ups, and tents.

Condition

All units must be in good working order and neat in appearance. Inoperable vehicles (flat tires, broken parts) must be repaired or removed.

Side Neatness

Avoid "clutter" (empty pots, buckets, coolers). Store chairs, bikes, and grills under or behind the camper when not active.

Site Appearance & Storage (Monthly Campers)

Monthly campers may have a rubbermaid-type storage unit that fits under the camper. Swings, grills, chairs, and bikes are allowed but must not be excessive.
• Prohibited: No outside refrigerators/freezers on long-term sites. No decks, permanent structures, fences, or excessive flags.
• Maintenance: Monthly campers are responsible for winterizing outside faucets (failure to do so may incur damage fees).

Modifications

No permanent structures (decks/fences). No digging or putting items into the ground. No nails or screws in trees.

Tarps & Canopies

One canopy (max 12'x12') per site; it must be lowered when away. Tarps must be brown to blend with nature.
