General Ground Rules

Safety, IMPORTANT! Please Read!!!

Camper Behavior

We have a zero tolerance for drug use or drunkenness. No firearms or fireworks are permitted at any time. Disorderly conduct of any kind will not be tolerated. Profanity or loud behavior is not the family atmosphere we are promoting. If you smoke, please do it away from other people and dispose of cigarette butts in trash. Violation of these rules will result in being asked to leave with no refund.

Quiet Hours

Please be respectful of other campers at all times. Acoustic music (guitars and other instruments) are welcome in our campground, electronic devices are discouraged but allowed only with headphones. Observe quiet hours between 10:00 pm and 8:00 am, so that noise from your campsite will not keep campers from another site awake. * Camp store remains open with fresh coffee for sale - it's a great place to watch the day come to life before others awake.

Trash and Recycling

Trash cans are available throughout the campground and emptied frequently. Never leave a trash bag at your campsite. Put all food scraps in trash; never throw them into the woods. We compost vegetable scraps in our garden and if you're interested, we'll provide a covered bucket which you can return to the camp store.

Fire Safety

All fires are to be kept small and only in designated fire rings at each campsite. Never leave campsite with any fire smoldering in fire ring. Firewood is available for purchase at the camp store. Picking up dead wood on the ground is permitted around your own site. If fires are banned for local fire hazard reasons, you'll be notified.

Pets

We understand that your pets are part of your family and sometimes travel with you. All pets must be kept on a leash at all times and have current proof of Rabies Vaccination. Pets are limited to 2 per campsite. If your dog is prone to barking in unfamiliar places, it may be best to leave him at home. Out of respect to your camp neighbors, consider this before bringing your animal. Polite pets and courteous owners are welcome, as are all Service Animals. Clean up feces immediately and dispose of properly in trash. Never leave your pet unattended anywhere. You are responsible for any damage your pet causes.

Native plant and animal protection:

We have several endangered and threatened species of plant life in our forests. Law protects these. NEVER pick any plant or flower and stay on trails to prevent damage to these plants and for your own safety. Please stay off of all vegetation; all un-cleared areas outside of your campsite are for enjoying the view, not stepping on. We make our sites very large so you'll have room to stretch out. There is a grassy play field below the bathhouse for games.

Most of our native plants require the exact soil, elevation and conditions they are growing in here and CANNOT be duplicated in your home garden. Please DO NOT dig up or take any plant from our property.

Wild animals

You may encounter black bear, wild turkey, raccoon, possum, fox, whitetail deer, chipmunk, skunk, ground hog, flying squirrels, bats, owls, Canadian geese, ducks, songbirds, spiders, snakes and insects. Please do not feed any animal you may come across, and take extra care with food at your campsite. All food and coolers should be stored away from your tent area. Bag all food and toiletries in zip lock bags or snap food storage containers to keep insects out and food smells in so they won't attract animals. NEVER store food or scented toiletries in your tent. Even a piece of gum or food wrapper can attract a wild animal to your tent. Check children's backpacks and clothes and teach them of this danger!
There are two poisonous snakes that live in our woods, the Timber Rattlesnake and the Copperhead. Two non-poisonous snakes you are likely to encounter are the Northern Water Snake in and around the ponds and the Northern Black Racer. You can learn about these and other area wildlife here. Keep your eyes open, and watch where you step or stick your hands. Two poisonous spiders of concern here are the Brown Recluse and the Black Widow. You may see pictures of each of these in the camp store and learn about how to identify, avoid and respect these creatures.

Poisonous plants are removed from your campsite but grow freely in the woods. To help you identify poison ivy and poison oak, check here. PLEASE STAY ON TRAILS!
