Campground policies
A few ways we keep camp happy.
Peace & quiet
Quiet hours begin at 10pm, with strict quiet at 11pm. Exterior lights go off by midnight, and alcohol stays at your campsite.
Pets at camp
Register pets at the office and keep them on designated pet sites and a short, hand-held leash. No aggressive pets, visiting dogs, or pets at the pool and playgrounds. Please clean up promptly.
Pool safety
There is no lifeguard on duty. Children under 14 need an adult age 18+ with them. No rough play, glass, food or drinks in the pool area.
Care for the campground
Keep sites clean and use dumpsters—not fire rings—for trash. Do not bring outside firewood; pallet or processed wood is allowed.
Not permitted
ATVs, dirt bikes, drones, fireworks, firearms, metal detectors, personal electric vehicles, and golf carts are not permitted.
Management may remove guests whose behavior is detrimental to the campground or other campers, without refund. Ask the office if you have any questions before your stay.
