Traveling with your furry friend or fur baby? We have a Kamp K9 onsite so your fluffy friends can stretch their legs. Pets must be on a leash outside of the dog park, and we ask owners to clean up after their pets. Your pets hate it when you leave, so please don't leave them at your campsite unattended. Due to health and safety regulations, pets are not allowed in any buildings or the pool area.

One vehicle per site is guaranteed. Two vehicles are allowed if you can fit them at your site.

For the safety and enjoyment of all guests, strict limits are enforced on the number of people who may be at the campground per each reservation. 

• At check-in, you will be asked to verify the number of guests staying at your site.  
  
• A limit of 6 people per site will be enforced. That total number includes both the number of people on your reservation and any day visitors. If you have the maximum number of people on your reservation, day visitors are not allowed.
  
• If the number of overnight guests on your reservation allows for day visitors, those day visitors must check in at the front desk upon arrival and register their vehicle. Your visitors are welcome for $10 per additional adult and $15 per additional vehicle. Visiting guests are permitted until Quiet Hours (9:00pm) and must adhere to campground rules. Should day visitors turn into overnight guests, they must register at the front desk.
