Pets (All pets must be registered with the Campground Office)

 
We want to accommodate all our guests as much as possible. We are a WORKING RANCH and have animals. The ranch dogs are NOT leashed and NOT locked up. They love people and are there for the protection of the animals and our guests and help keep unwanted wild animals off of the property.  We hope this is not an inconvenience. It is important that you, as a guest, are aware of this fact BEFORE booking. We have accommodated hundreds of guests and the ranch dogs have been universally loved. If this is not acceptable to you, we recommend that you discontinue your booking. All other pets MUST be on a leash at all times and may not be left unattended at campsite.  If you refuse to comply with this leash rule after being warned, you will be asked to leave.  Again, no refunds will be given. Animals may not be tethered to utility fixtures, picnic tables, trees or fences. Animal waste must be picked up by the pet owner. If you fail to comply with all these rules after being warned one time, you will be asked to leave and escorted off of the property. If you refuse to leave, Law Enforcement will be contacted, and you will be charged with criminal trespass.

 

Pets may be allowed in cabins at discretion of management.  Please call ahead to confirm that we will allow your pet.  If you do not have prior approval, we will not accommodate your pet.  Approved pets are not allowed in lofts or beds.  There will be a $25 cleaning fee per pet and a $50 deposit that is refundable upon satisfactory checkout inspection.  If pet hair or waste are found in lofts or beds, your deposit will be forfeit.  If large amounts of pet hair are found anywhere, your deposit will be forfeit.  Any pet waste found in cabins will also be grounds for deposit forfeiture.

 Two facilities are available. Due to Board of Health Regulations, animals and the washing of dishes are prohibited in the restrooms. Do not take toilet paper or paper towels from restrooms!

 Help us stay clean by depositing all garbage in the Garbage Cans located under the pavilion.  Please deposit aluminum cans in the can receptacle.

 

After-Hours Assistance/Security

 Press doorbell button on front of A-Frame building for emergencies.

 

Trees

Trees, and the shade they provide, are an integral part of an enjoyable Campground experience. However, healthy, and well-maintained trees pose a natural hazard of falling debris, such as leaves and branches, especially during windy and/or extreme weather conditions. We do not assume responsibility for these natural hazards or for any property damage, injury or other circumstances that may result. Please take this into consideration when parking in RV Park & Campground and while enjoying Park.  Do not park under trees.

 

Campground management is not responsible for loss, damages or claims to property of guests due to fire, theft, accident, or any other cause. The management also reserves the right to refuse service to anyone. We respect your second amendment rights but ask that you exercise good firearm safety and do not discharge your weapon on the property. RV Park & Campground closes certain sites and areas of the Campground for landscaping and maintenance throughout the season.Type your paragraph here.
