Update 2020 Camping Season

Update 2020 Camping Season

Hello everyone!

The state has at long last given us permission to open, although I have to let you know there are lots of restrictions

  1. For starters, it really is for long term stays (seasonals) only and really only so that seasonals can use and enjoy their second or vacation home.
  2. For now, all facilities in the park are to remain closed until further notice.  That includes the office, bathrooms, rec halls and playgrounds.
  3. You will be allowed some recreational activities but you must observe social distancing guidelines without fail I will have zero tolerance for anyone who disobeys the rules, and you will face forced eviction to rte 44 without refund if you fail to comply.
  4. So for now, come to your site with your day’s necessary provisions, get it cleaned ready to go, and make the best of the summer.
  5. This allowance is subject to weekly changes and can be revoked at any time, so just accept it and deal with it.  This is clearly an unusual situation which we have no control over.  Welcome to the new reality.
  6. You must respect the health of our employees.  Always wear personal protective gear when dealing with them.  Try to do as much as you can over the phone, email or website.
  7. Denise will be in the office this weekend from 9 – 6 both Saturday and Sunday.  You must go to the side window for service, stay 6 feet apart if there forms a line, and wear PPE mask and gloves when dealing with her.

Have a good summer and keep checking the website for updates.

Yes, the water and electric are on!

John

P.S. – I fell yesterday and broke my wrist, so you will have to bear with me if it looks like we are not completely ready for you.

Update 2020 Camping Season PARKING

There is No Parking in empty sites or along roadsides, at any time, for any reason. We must keep the roadways clear for emergency vehicles, therefore there can be no exceptions. Also, because someone may get to their assigned site only to find it blocked by parked vehicles, we cannot allow this rule to be ignored.

Camping Season 2020 Update

Camping Season 2020 Update
Hi to everyone. 

Hope you all are well and obeying all the directives relating to the coronavirus pandemic.

According to some of you on the chatter site:

  1.  I get a cut of all the fines imposed on violators of government directives.
  2. I receive personal updates every day no less, from Governor Raimondo

NEITHER OF THESE ARE TRUE!

The fact is, I know little more than the rest of you.  What I or we get, we get from the news.

Camping Season 2020 Update – THE FACTS ARE THAT THERE IS A STAY-AT-HOME ORDER IN EFFECT UNTIL MAY 7TH. That means that no one should even think of going to the campground until then.

camping season 2020 update on covid restrictionsWe are working diligently to get the park ready in time for the start of the season.  Hopefully the stay-at-home order won’t need to be extended and we can get the season going.

As we get closer to that date, I will inform you of what conditions, if any, are imposed on us at the time of opening.

In the meantime, stay safe.

John

But behind closed coffins, Drac is worried that his adorable half-human, half-vampire grandson, Dennis, isn’t showing signs of being a vampire. So while Mavis is away, “Vampa” Drac enlists his friends Frank, Murray, Wayne and Griffin to put Dennis through a “monster-in-training” boot camp…and things are going to get batty!
