Dear Campers:
We are a “family” campground. This, to us means that families with young and older kids can come and know that their family will be in a safe environment. That they will not have to worry about the worldly problems that we face each day in our lives. We provide activities and things to do in the park for kids of all ages. We have pedal karts, volleyball, basketball, corn-hole games and horseshoes. We have a game room and WIFI internet access so they can surf the net and some days when everyone in the park is not on the WIFI play a game or stream a movie.
What we are not, nor do we want to be, is a park where you stay
up all night blasting music, talking loud and using foul language, getting
drunk and acting like idiots. We ask our
campers to respect their neighbor’s right to have a good time, not impose their
good time on their neighbor. We ask them
to drive slowly through the park in case a young child runs out into the road
giving them the ability to stop abruptly.
Keep your dogs on a leash and clean up after them. Keep them off the playground and don’t let
them sit on the site barking all day. If
you are going to have visitors, make sure you tell them to register and pay the
day use fee that is required of all visitors and make sure they understand our
rules.
We have had a lot of negative reviews done on the park lately
and it is really starting to bother us - some have even been done by people
that don't camp here. The reviews seem to mostly be made by those that visit
the park and choose not to follow the rules.
We don't have pages and pages of rules, but we enforce the ones
we have. Quiet hour at 10 pm - we do this so those who have younger kids and
anyone that wants to go to bed at a reasonable hour can do so knowing that
there won't be a party happening next door. Dogs off the playground - I would
think this is self-evident why we don't want dogs on the playground - do you
really want you kids playing where dogs pee and do other things? Speed Limit 5
mph - there are kids running around everywhere in the park, young kids that
don't always pay attention to the roads or are chasing a ball. Being able to
stop quickly is critical and 5 mph is more than fast enough to get that last
200 yards to your site. Visitor fees are something that every campground I know
of charges. It is not free to heat and maintain the pool or keep the bathrooms
clean and stocked or put on activities that the kids participate in (most are
free - only a few are charged for all year). We have to pay for insurance to
protect our campers and ourselves and that is not free - so the next time you
question visitors fees understand that every person in the park is using
resources that have costs and must be paid for.
There are those who don't understand why we have rules, blowing
us out of the water and saying we are just rude people - well to you we are.
But to the thousands of other campers that come all year I would like to think
that we are a place they can bring their families and know that we will do our
best to provide a safe and enjoyable family camping experience!
we have been coming here for about six years we try to follow all the rules and our guest follow them also,so anyone who will not follow them should not be there.mike and sandy are great host and seem to try to help and provide a very good service to there campers.we will continue to camp there as long as we can,GREAT CAMPGROUNDS
