SECURITY DEPOSIT

We reserve the right to require a Security Deposit, in cash, refunded if no damage is done and/or no disturbance occurs.  There is also a required removal deposit for any RV more than ten years old.  We also reserve the right to reject any RV that is in poor condition.

NO MOTORCYCLES

or Motorized Bicycles or Mopeds, or Motorized Carts are allowed in the campground at any time.

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.

CAMPFIRES

All campfires must be fully extinguished by 12 midnight.  No exceptions.  This is a rule required by the fire department to protect the area from a brush fire and to avoid mishaps when the fire department is less available to respond.

Really, because it is a rule that helps protect all of us.  It is not negotiable.  Our security person will check for any fires still burning at midnight and require them to be extinguished.  If necessary, he will dump water on your campfire.

Campground Rules must be followed.  Refusal to follow the rules may result in immediate expulsion from the campground with no refund.

Mothers Day 2021

Hello and Happy Mothers Day 2021.

This weekend you may have fires so long as they are under 12″ inside a ring of stones, attended to at all times AND fully extinguished at 12PM.

There is a Dock Construction party this weekend at the first beach so anyone  who wishes to help out it would be appreciated.

MOTHERS DAY 2021 WEEKEND

There is no cable or internet service this weekend Sorry. COX is a very difficult  company to deal with and the system has to stay off until all outstanding issues are resolved. I thank you for your understanding in this matter.

Bowdish Camping Season 2021

Hello Everyone and welcome to BLCA 2021.

With Covid restrictions slowly winding down the mood of everyone I meet seems to be very upbeat.  Hopefully this will lead to a great Summer.

I first want to start out by saying that this weekend  of April 30th should really be considered more of a cleanup weekend than a camping weekend. There will no services offered other than basic utility services and even those may be inconsistent so I expect all of you to be patient as we work out any kinks in the systems. Please report any utility issues you may have to the office and we will address them as quickly as we can, remembering  things have been off all Winter so patience is a virtue.

Due to expected high winds THERE CAN BE NO FIRES!

There are some changes coming including a new gate security system which may require you to exchange or redeposit for new key fobs. We will let you know as we get more information.

Also I have ordered a dozen new speed bumps to help control speeding in the park in response to campers complaints of excessive speed.  You should expect to see those installed over the course of the Summer.

We have added more dock space to give as many of you as possible boating access to the lake. Please reserve your space as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, due to increase costs we are raising the cost of a pump-out to $20.00.  Due to increases in electric prices we have to raise rates by a penny for seasonals and two cents for weekenders.

As for changes to the park I have decided to address much needed maintenance to the buildings. Many of the camp buildings are old and have excessive wood rot that a simple coat of paint will not fix. So I am going to have carpentry repairs performed one at a time and this will mean they will be out of service while the repairs are performed beginning with the Safari bathroom complex. Please understand and make alternate plans if you use these facilities.

I also would ask that you stay off the grass in the field area.  The grass has taken a beating over the past few years and needs to recover . I will be placing logs to prevent access to these areas until I am satisfied that the grass has recovered.

Thanks for your understanding and have a good weekend.

Remember by RULE you can only stay overnight if your fees are PAID in FULL.  I will be going around and expelling violators who think the RULES do not apply to them.
