IMPORTANT CAMPGROUND RULES

Because it is a small campground, because most of our customers are tired from a day of traveling or canoeing and want to sleep, because we live here and have close neighbors, AND because the sounds people come here to hear come from the river and woods, this is NOT a "party place"; therefore, no amplified music any time day or night; no off-road vehicles; no fireworks or firearms; no swearing and/or public intoxication; and no lights, fires, or noise of any kind after midnight. No generators after 10 PM. Singing around the campfire and hand made music is allowed to 10PM. Pets: Only quiet, non-barking, well-mannered dogs on leashes and always attended by well-mannered owners with "pooper-scoopers" are permitted. Any animal showing aggression toward other dogs or campers must leave immediately. Leave your cats, birds, and reptiles at home (you'd be surprised). NO GLASS CONTAINERS.

OVERNIGHT FEES

Eighteen sites with picnic tables can be reserved by a deposit of $10.00. The actual fees for the first night are either the site minimum or your regular overnight fees, whichever are greater. For the second and subsequent nights, only the overnight fees are due. Site minimum applies only to weekends and holidays.

The Pavilion can be rented for overnight use for $15.00 site minimum plus regular overnight fees the 1st night. Regular fees only 2nd night.

ELECTRICAL OUTLETS

$5.00 per outlet. $10.00 for A/C or heater. We only have a few available and none for drop-ins. We have some RV pads under construction in an area separated somewhat from the tent camping. Keep in touch if that interests you . They will be up to speed this spring.

OVERFLOW CAMPING

Most of the center section of our campground is available for persons unable to make reservations. Spots not reserved, and in the overflow area are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If a numbered site has the current date and no name on it's sign then it is available to be occupied providing no gear or tents are already laying claim. Regular overnight fees apply (no first night minimum charge) for un-numbered spaces not guaranteed to have a table.
