General Guidelines
We’ve established the following guidelines to help ensure your safety and enjoyment while in our park and the same to our other guests. Those who choose not to observe these guidelines can be asked to leave our park without any form of a refund.
Firewood
Firewood is not permitted to be brought into the park. We have wood for sale in the Ranger Station.
Pets
Pets are welcome and should be under the owner’s control or leashed. Make sure you keep your pet with you or attended at your site.
Cabins or Lodges
Let us know that you’re bringing a pet, and we’ll book you into a pet-friendly cabin or lodge, subject to availability. We charge a $25 non-refundable cleaning deposit per pet per stay (2 pet limit). Unfortunately, if your pet persuades you to sneak him or her into a non-pet cabin or lodge, you will be liable for $300 in cleaning charges.
RV Sites
While there’s no charge for bringing your pet with your RV, please don’t leave your pet unattended outside or erect any type of fence or pen around your site.
Aggressive Pets
If your dog shows behavior that is protective and unfriendly to strangers, please leave it home. If you decide to bring your dog and it exhibits this type of behavior, the owner or management of the park will ask you to please find other camping accommodations.
