SOME REMINDERS
Parents, please know where your children are and what they are doing, at all times. We have had complaints from our Cleaning Service that our bath houses have been uses for “playing”, lots of footprints on toilets and evidence of fire crackers used.
Please consider what you leave at our dumpsters for us to dispose of. The dumpsters are for normal, camping trash, not for your mattresses, old tv’s, furniture or other items which cost us extra labor and extra expense to dispose of.
As always, no camping at seasonal rates can occur before
fees have been Paid in Full.
Most important, come often, stay long and
enjoy the time you spend here.
