Guests may have visitors (individuals not registered on the reservation or agreement) visit them, so long as such visitors do not cause the guest to exceed the maximum permitted occupancy listed above. Visitors must register at the welcome center and are subject to any applicable guest fees. Visitors are required to abide by all Resort Rules and Regulations. Guests are responsible for the behavior of their visitors. Visitors are only permitted to be on property when resort guests are present. It is the responsibility of the guests to come into the welcome center to register all visitors.

We encourage you to visit the individual property website for specific information and dates relating to onsite amenity closures and other property specific information. Please remember that many amenities are on a weather dependent schedule. We reserve the right to close any facilities at our discretion without prior notice, and without refund of any fees or other amounts paid for the reservation. Please refer to posted rules and regulations throughout the property for additional information on our amenities. All amenities are use at your own risk. All persons must wear dry shirt, pants and shoes when entering the Welcome Center or any facility building.

Two vehicles, inclusive of one RV (other than for vacation rentals), are included with each reservation or agreement as determined by KOA and as space allows. Additional vehicles for registered guests are $10 per day or, where offered, $150 for an annual pass, and subject to availability of parking in designated areas. Car passes are issued to registered guests listed on the reservation or agreement only and must be visible at all times. Car passes are not transferrable and may not be shared with another guest or visitor. All guests' vehicles must be parked on their designated site and may not stick out into the road. If parking is limited or not available on a particular site, then vehicles must be parked in one of the resort's designated parking areas, if available. Under no circumstances are guests permitted to occupy sites not included in their reservation, even if not otherwise occupied. Unregistered vehicles found without a pass may be towed at the owner's expense. Car covers and wheel covers are permitted if factory made and in acceptable appearance and in good condition. Car covers must be properly secured to the vehicle, weights to hold the cover down are not allowed. Any lost or unreturned gate cards will result in a $25 replacement fee. Gate access cards are only applicable at specific locations; not all locations are gated, or require a gate card.

Our quiet hours are from 11pm – 8am daily, unless otherwise dictated by on-site staff or local regulations. Please be courteous to your fellow guests during all hours of the day. During quiet hours, no loud talking, loud radios, loud televisions or other loud noises or behavior that may disturb guests is permitted. The use of generators are not permitted on the property, unless prior approval from management is granted.

Please be considerate of your neighbors' privacy and space. Do not walk on or pass through the site of another guest. Respect our local culture, wildlife, and those around you. Please be mindful of our local bylaws and conservation of resources. We are proud to promote an inclusive and family friendly atmosphere at all our resorts. Harassment or offensive or intolerant language or actions will not be tolerated in any form, included with respect to race, color, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability or political views. Flags, signs or other visual symbols that contain vulgarity, depict the Confederate flag, or represent politicians or political candidates are not permitted to be displayed. We reserve the right to immediately evict any guest, without refund, for failure to comply with these rules and/or staff's request for you to remove the display of offensive visuals or symbols.

Please respect our local wildlife. Use caution when near bodies of water or natural brush, as some of the local wildlife is dangerous and should be left alone. Some of the local wildlife is protected by State Law. Feeding, killing, abusing, or otherwise disturbing the wildlife is strictly prohibited. Additionally, feeding stray animals, including but not limited to cats or birds is prohibited.

There is no smoking, including vaping, allowed in tiny homes, resort restrooms and shower facilities, indoor facilities, common areas, or any outdoor amenities. Smoking is allowed on your own site as long as it is done so in a way that will not directly or indirectly impact the experience of other guests. Alcohol is permitted by legal drinking age adults as long as it is done so in a way that will not directly or indirectly impact the experience of other guests. Alcohol must be consumed in a responsible manner and may be restricted in certain areas of the resort. Illegal drugs are strictly prohibited. Any guests or visitors that are smoking or using alcohol in an irresponsible manner, or in a manner that interferes with another guest's enjoyment will be asked to stop and may be asked to leave or removed for failure to comply.

Each site is generally provided one table, as well as one fire pit if allowed by local regulations. Please do not burn or leave trash in fire pits, and do not move pits without permission from the staff. All fires must be contained to the pit/ring and are permitted only from 8am –Midnight. Never leave a fire unattended. County bans may occur and will be posted at the welcome center. Any chemicals or toxic materials must remain locked up at all times, or safely removed from the access of children or animals.

While it is always our priority to allow guests the peaceful and undisturbed enjoyment of their site, in the event a resort team member believes, in their reasonable discretion, that an emergency or dangerous condition exists on a guest's site, which could potentially pose a risk of harm to any person or property, the resort team has the right to enter the guest's site and access any area or unit on the site, in order to remedy the emergency or dangerous condition, or prevent or mitigate the potential harm.

We are a pet-friendly resort but pets may not disturb other guests, and must be cleaned up after by owners. Pets must always be on a leash and restrained when not confined inside an RV, and no pet may be left unattended outside of an RV, even on the site or if restrained. There is a maximum of two pets per reservation with a $50 non-refundable fee per reservation for any pet in a vacation or cottage rental. Pets are the responsibility of the owner. If management determines that a pet is disruptive or aggressive, they have sole discretion to require the guest to restrict the pet's behavior or location, or remove the pet from the resort. If a guest is unwilling or unable to restrict the pet or have it removed from the resort, as requested by management, management has the right to immediately terminate the guest's reservation and evict the guest from the resort, without refund. All pets must also be up to date on vaccines, and copies of pet vaccine records must be available upon request. Upon check-in, you are required to notify the office of your pets if you have not already added them to your reservation during the booking process.

Any household garbage and recycling are to be put in the designated areas, garbage bins and recycling receptacles located on the resort map. Select resorts may offer garbage pickup services. Disposal of hazardous waste or large items such as mattresses, couches, or chairs, is not permitted on property and should be taken to a local dump facility. Additional charges may result for unapproved disposal of items.

All sewer hoses must be undamaged, and sewer connections must be tight with a sewer donut around the sewer hose at the point of connection to the sewer pipe. Sewer hoses must be sloped downward from the RV's sewer connection to the resort sewer hookup to prevent any clogging or spillage on the ground. Any damaged or leaking hose must be repaired immediately. Guests are responsible, and will be charged, for any damages caused by the guest's sewer hookup.

Site electric pedestals are owned by the resort – any guest found tampering with electrical pedestals will be removed from the resort without any refund. Guests should not be overloading electric pedestals and should be utilizing code-compliant, approved outdoor extension cords. Connecting electric to washers and dryers inside private sheds is not permitted. Please help conserve electricity, turn off all non-essential lights (inside and outside), A/C, and heaters when not in use. Dusk-to-Dawn lights must be turned off between stays. Electric vehicles are only permitted to be charged in designated locations.

For resorts that rebill utilities, all guests are expected to pay balances due in a timely manner. Any utility bills that are not paid on time are subject to shut off based on local regulations.

The discharge of any wastewater (septic or grey water) or any other toxic or hazardous material is strictly prohibited. Formaldehyde products or any other tank cleaning chemicals are not permitted.

At select resorts, locked postal boxes are available for long-term guests. Additional fees may apply for this service. For resorts without full service mail offerings, we cannot guarantee you will receive your mail if it is sent directly to the resort. While staying on property at these resorts, we suggest that you rent a PO Box at the local post office. Seasonally operated resorts have no method of sorting and delivering mail. Packages being delivered to year-round resorts must be delivered directly to your site. Seasonally operated resorts will accept packages at the welcome center on an emergency basis. The resort is not responsible for lost or stolen packages/mail.

Guests must always obey posted speed limits on property. Failure to obey speed limits may result in removal from the property without refund.

UTVs, ATVs, and large terrain vehicles are prohibited except at certain select locations when connecting to adjacent trails.

In addition to the rules contained in the rental cart agreement to be signed by each guest renting a golf cart from the property, all guests must comply with the following rules governing the use of golf carts on property.
