Overnight visitors must depart by 11AM the following morning. Guests are the responsibility of the registered camper or rental unit occupants. We do not allow overnight guests in the rental units.
Can another family set up a tent or pop-up on our site?
Sure, if the site is large enough and doesn't crowd your neighbor. We always recommend that they get their own site since our rates are based on 2 people, one sleeping unit and one vehicle. Your other family will have to pay a separate site fee regardless, so there is no cost advantage to sharing yours.
Can we set up a tent for our children?
Absolutely, and there is no charge if they are your dependent children. Dependent children are under 21, unmarried and living at home.

Absolutely! Every site has a fire pot. We ask that you keep the fire pot off the grass and attended at all times. There are no group fires after 11pm for consideration of our quiet hours of 11pm-8am.
Do you guarantee requested sites?
Our requests are at a success rate of about 98%! There are rare occasions when something happens out of our control and it's necessary for us to move you. We hope that you understand we do our very best!
