Guests are limited to NO MORE than one vehicle pass per reservation. Even if more car passes are purchased at the front desk, guests MAY NOT park more than two vehicles on any site, including any visitors you may invite.  Please also be aware that some of our sites can only accommodate one vehicle in addition to your RV. Additional vehicles will be charged $10. The limitation on number of vehicles is intended to avoid situations that have caused congestion on our roads and detract from a more open/relaxing atmosphere at our park. All guests are STRONGLY encouraged to avoid driving more than one vehicle and/or to carpool or shuttle your visitors from locations outside the park.  Overflow parking is limited and fills up quickly, so please take this policy seriously and plan accordingly.

NO SMOKING: Thank you for not smoking in restrooms, buildings, cabins, pool, or playground area.

Visitors of registered guests are welcome, but are NOT covered by your site registration.  In addition to our facilities and amenities, we invest thousands of dollars annually to maintain and improve our beautiful, wooded park and landscaping.  Unlike a public park, our property is not subsidized by taxpayer dollars, and our trees, flowers, and landscaping do not take care of themselves. Additionally, we work hard to create a peaceful environment that does not get over crowded with outside people who are not registered guests and their vehicles, which is subject to the two-car limit per site. Therefore, even if all your visitors are doing is sitting at your site, they still need to stop at the office, pay the Visitor fee, and receive a pass. Cost is $10/day per person (age 5 to 99).  Children 4 years of age or younger are free.  After registering in the office, visitors are then welcome to enjoy all the park amenities until 10:00 pm.  Visitors wishing to stay the night must inform the office before the front desk closes.  Parking is limited on sites, and Visitors may be required to park in an overflow parking area and display a Visitor car tag. Guests who are found to be hosting visitors that have not registered may be subject to a fine or ejection.

10 MPH SPEED LIMIT throughout the park. Please watch for bikes and pedestrians.

QUIET HOURS are 10 pm - 8 am (Eastern Time). However, please be courteous and respectful to your neighbors at all hours of the day. Violators who disturb the peace may be subject to fees to pay for any physical damage or costs associated with refunding your neighbors.  Our goal is to provide a high-quality, exceptional experience and you are key to helping us accomplish that goal.  Therefore, we reserve the right to terminate your stay (without refund) should we feel that your presence detracts from the enjoyment and safety of other guests.

Pool is open from Memorial Day Weekend to Labor Day Weekend, barring any issues. Pool hours are noon to dusk. Pool is for registered guests only. Children under 16 years MUST be accompanied by an adult at ALL times. No lifeguard on duty - use of pool is at your own risk! Follow all posted rules at pool.

If your dog shows behavior that is protective and unfriendly to strangers, we encourage you to leave it at home. If you decide to bring your dog and it exhibits this type of behavior you will be asked to please find other camping accommodations.Remember manners. Constant barking bothers other campers. If your pet is too vocal, you'll need to find other accommodations.

Charging electric vehicles (EVs) at our pedestals is STRICTLY PROHIBITED as our circuitry is not rated nor intended to withstand the constant electrical draw that occurs with such use.  Doing so has the potential to damage our electrical infrastructure, your vehicle or both. We respectfully ask that you refrain from plugging in. Violators will be directed to immediately unplug their vehicle, and are subject to any damages and/or will be evicted without refund. 

That being said, we are monitoring the use of EVs in the United States, and are evaluating the cost-effectiveness of installing EV Charging Stations at our park in the future.  To help us, we kindly ask that you let us know if this would indeed be a valuable service for us to offer.

We fully understand that inclement weather is not ideal for camping, but unfortunately, the weather is not in our control. As a result, we won't take credit for the sunshine, nor the blame for the rain. When reservations are made, guests must understand that they are agreeing to our cancellation policies for their camping plans. While we cannot guarantee the weather will be perfect for your stay (although we certainly hope it will), WE GUARANTEE that once your camping reservations are made, we will ensure that a camping experience with us is available only for you. As such, we turn away all other prospective guests from that point forward for that site. As a business, we also incur an expense to process reservations via your credit card payment. Therefore, even in instances of inclement weather, refunds of reservation deposits will be made consistent with our cancellation policies.

As a family-friendly campground, alcoholic beverages are permitted. However, we ask that they be enjoyed at your campsite. Please drink responsibly and in moderation.

To maintain a family-friendly camping environment, and due to previous issues, smoking/vaping of marijuana is PROHIBITED ANYWHERE ON OUR GROUNDS.  As a reminder, vaping or smoking of any kind is prohibited inside of our cabins and violators are subject to damage fees.  Any guest smoking/vaping marijuana that causes a disturbance to other campers will be required to immediately cease its use or face ejection from the park without refund.

To ensure guest safety, it is our policy that every vehicle in the campground must be registered and display a pass in the windshield. We also require a photo ID that matches your reservation. Please be prepared to provide your driver's license and license plate number at the time of check-in.
