Policies and Guidelines for an Enjoyable Stay

Check-In after 1 PM but not after 9 PM      Check-Out before 11 AM

Early arrival or late check-out is subject to half day charge but also requires prior permission. Please notify us if you are unable to arrive before 9 PM.

Quiet Hours (10 PM - 7 AM) - This means turn off radios and lower voices so that your neighbors can't hear you. No car radios. Sound carries through the woods. Car engines or doors slamming, headlights, flashlights, walking around, talking, etc are all things that can be disturbing. Please be courteous to your fellow campers.

Protected Woods - We all love the privacy the trees provide so please help us maintain the natural surroundings for all of our guests to enjoy. No cutting, marking, carving, peeling or disfiguring of any tree or brush. Firewood and marshmallow sticks are available in the store.

Please respect our neighbors. Do not go onto property across the highway or on either side of the campground

Campsites - Position your equipment on the established site only, not in the woods bordering the campsite. Orange markings on trees indicate the boundaries of the site. The number of tents, dining canopies etc that you may set up is limited by the size of your individual site. The average site can accommodate one large cabin style tent or two small to medium sized tents and a dining canopy over the picnic table. Please make arrangements in advance if you need a larger site. At no time should the site be so crowded that campers have to walk in the woods or place items outside the established boundary. Stay on existing roads and trails. Do not walk through other campsites. Digging or trenching is prohibited.

Cabins - No pets, smoking or cooking in cabins. $50 security deposit is due on arrival and is refunded at the end of the stay if cabin is left in good condition and the key returned. Cabins have electricity but no water. They have a double bed and bunks. No linens provided. There is a picnic table, firering and charcoal grill at each cabin site.

People and Cars - We don't want our campers to feel like they are in a parking lot or in a crowd, therefore we limit the number of people and cars per site. No more than 4 adults and no more than 6 people total including children camping on any site. One car per site. Some sites have space to park a second car but extra persons and cars require prior permission and additional fee.

Groups of more than 8 people should not gather on any one campsite. This helps prevent overuse of one area and damage to the campsite. Our goal is to spread people out for a more quiet and private camping experience.

Children -Campers are responsible for the actions and safety of their children. Minors must be on their site or in the company of an adult after 10 PM. Younger children should have an adult with them in the bathhouse or at the river.

Visitors - Please inform us if you expect visitors. They must register, pay the required fee and get a car pass before entering the campground. This includes those who are dropping something off or just wanting to say "Hi". The fee will be refunded if they check out within ½ hour. Day visitors must leave by 9 PM. Unregistered visitors will be asked to leave.


Vehicles / Bikes - Speed Limit 5 MPH! We realize this is slow but it is necessary to watch for children, pets and wildlife. Motor bikes, ATVs, scooters etc are not to be driven around the campground. Motorcycles may be used to enter or leave the campground only. Bicycles should stay on roads or trails and ride during daylight only.

Fires - There's nothing like sitting around a campfire. There is also nothing like a fire that gets out of control and destroys property. Please maintain fires at a safe level in the firering or stone fireplace only. Do not move the rings and never leave the fire unattended. Extinguish fires when you leave or retire for the night.

Alcohol / Drugs - Alcohol is permitted on your campsite only. Public display of intoxication, underage drinking or disorderly conduct will result in immediate eviction without refund. Possession or use of illicit drugs is prohibited and will lead to eviction and possible arrest.

Weapons / Explosives - The following items are not allowed in the campground: fireworks, firearms, air guns, archery equipment, and sling shots. Weapons exceptions are for law enforcement officers and licensed hunters during season (with prior permission).

Trash / Food Storage - We provide you with a trash bag upon arrival. Please place your trash in the dumpsters located near the entrance. Ask in store for additional trash bags. Food and trash must be secured at all times because we are sharing the location with a wide variety of wildlife. The animals' sense of smell is very keen (even through plastic storage containers) and they often learn to associate coolers/ campsites with an easy meal. At no time should you store food, coolers or trash in your tent. We recommend putting all trash / food containers in a secure vehicle when not in use. Keep a clean site, keep food prep and storage away from sleeping areas and help us keep the wildlife "wild". Please wash pots & dishes in outdoor sinks and not in bathhouse.

Petiquette - He's your best friend and you can't imagine camping without him. Next door to you might be a camper who can't imagine camping with a dog or worse is deathly afraid of dogs. (You know, like you feel about spiders or snakes.) In a spirit of cooperation we ask that you and your pooch abide by the following rules:
1. Keep pet leashed and under control at all times. Pets that are unruly or display aggressive behavior will be asked to leave.
2. Pet should never be left unattended (that means in RV's, tents, cars, campsites, etc). This tends to make them bark or dig which discourages the owners from allowing dogs.
3. Clean up after your pet whether on your site, in the woods or along the road. We give you "doggy" bags for this purpose. (Why clean up even in the woods? We want to encourage the wildlife to stay around. Doggy scents can repel the native animals.) More bags are available in store upon request.
4. Pets are allowed on campsites, road and trails but not in buildings and public areas including the designated swimming hole.
5. It is your responsibility to ensure your pet(s) has all current vaccinations. We strongly recommend you have a copy with you.

RV Dumping - No fluids from RVs should be discharged onto the ground. The camping rate allows our campers to use dump station on the way out at no extra charge. Please let us know if you need additional usage. $10.00 fee applies.
