Reduced noise hours

Here at the Townsend/Canyon Ferry Lake KOA, we do our best to encourage a good night sleep from all our guests. In order to accomplish this, we ask our visitors to engage in what we know as reduced noise hours.
Our reduced noise hours are from 10PM-6AM.
Reduced noise does not mean 100% quiet as we encourage you to have fun and enjoy yourself, but rather we ask that if you are outside after 10PM, that you do your best to keep your noise contained within your area(example: no excessive yelling at midnight). Remember that our furry family members like to be vocal at times. They too are encouraged to mind the reduced noise hours.
