Payment Requirements:
WE REQUIRE FULL PAYMENT prior to your arrival unless you are arriving within 14 days.  Credit card numbers are required for reservations. 

1) OFF-SEASON: From our closing date in October through May 1st, you will have 14 days, to send a bank or personal check for the full amount, from the date of placing your reservation. If payment is not received within 14 days we will not hold your site. 

2) IN-SEASON: After May 1st, if your reservation is more than 14 days away, we request that a bank or personal check for the full amount is received within 14 days from the date you placed your reservation. If we do not receive your payment within 14 days of your scheduled arrival date your credit card on file will be charged for 1/2 of the total payment due (Refer to  “cancellation policy”) and we will not hold your site.

 3)If you are placing your reservation in less than 14 days from your arrival date, you will have the option to pay by cash or bank check  only, upon your arrival. If you do not show up for the first night of your reservation, WE WILL CHARGE YOUR CARD FOR THE TOTAL PAYMENT DUE AND WE WILL NOT HOLD YOUR SITE; unless prior notification has been made via email.

IF YOUR CHECK DOES NOT CLEAR WE WILL CHARGE YOUR CREDIT CARD ON FILE FOR THE TOTAL PAYMENT DUE PLUS AN ADDITIONAL $25 ADMINSTRATIVE FEE.

Site Occupancy Limitations:
In the interest of protecting our property and conserving water (which is supplied by only two wells) each site is for one tent / RV / camper or van only (a screen house is permitted if the site is large enough). We do have a few sites designed for two cars with a $10/night fee for that extra car. There is no doubling up-(i.e. 4 adults on a site). Sites are designed for families. If you have 2 adults and  more than 2 children there is a $2/nite fee for a child 2yrs-18yrs. No more than 6 persons are allowed on any site. All of the above is to ensure the quietness and space you are looking for during your camping experience with us.

Site Changes:
There will be a $10 fee to change your site after your reservation is made.  We do our best, given the information we receive from you, to place you in a site that you would like, however, situations do occur which are beyond our control.  In such cases, management reserves the right to place you in a site of equal or greater value and to waive the site change fee.

If a camper wants to change their site, a $10 fee applies and the original site fee stays the same.  Example: If a waterfront site was originally booked ($55) and the move is to a $39 a night site, the difference is not refunded and an additional $10 fee will be collected.  If the site change goes the other way the camper will pay the difference.  Example: If moving from a wooded $29 a night site to an electric or water view site ($39), if in a tent or van, the difference between the sites will be charged plus the $10 site change fee.

Cars
All cars in the campground must display a valid car tag. Vehicles that do not have one are subject to towing at the owners expense. Cars are not to be left on the shoreline unless you have a waterfront site and then they need to be parked in the designated spots.

Visitors
Must check into the office and get a car tag.  2 hours of visiting is free.  Use of the pool is a $5/person charge.  If visiting for more than 2 hours there is a $10/car fee plus $5/person for pool use.  (visitors are friends of our patrons only, no persons just hanging out on the grounds).

Dumping Station:
Dumping fee for a pop-up/RV; under 20 feet is $10, between 20 feet and 30 feet is $15 and between 30 feet and 35 feet is $20.  Please see the attendant in the office to make your payment and pick-up the key to the dumping station.  This is an optional service we offer to our campers and you will be solely responsible for your dumping your waste water and cleaning up after you dump.

Fires / Wood:
DO NOT bring any wood from out of the area into our campground. Don’t give bugs a free ride!  We have firewood available to buy at the camp store. Cutting trees or breaking branches off trees is prohibited. Please do not move fire rings. Campfires must be extinguished prior to being left unattended.

We do allow friendly dogs. Please leave your pooch at home if he/she is not good on a leash, around children or barks incessantly.  We do not allow dogs in any of our cabins or in the pool area.  Please be responsible with their waste and properly pick up after your pooches. Doggie poo bags are available in our camp store. Dogs must not be left unattended and must be on a leash at all times. Please be aware that if your dog(s) are acting aggressive, excessively barking or making other campers uncomfortable you will be asked to leave the campground with NO REFUND!

NOTE: Based on the information we have received from you about your camping equipment and vehicle we will put you in a site that will be a good fit for you. In the event your unit does not fit in your site when you arrive, we will always try to relocate you to an adequate site. However, if you move to a site for less money we will not refund the difference. If you move to a site that is more money we will charge you the difference.
