Noise
HAPPY noise during the daytime is part of the joy of camping. THOUGHTLESS noise such as loud radios, screaming and shouting,
and any noise after 11 pm is a breach of camper courtesy and may risk a request to leave the campground. Because of the mountain
setting, sound carries very easily, so campers should consciously try to be quiet after 11 pm. Quiet hours are from 11 pm to 7 a.m..
Families, fishermen, and weary travelers need eight hours sleep and consideration by all makes for a happier campground. Large
parties involving alcohol are discouraged. 11:00 pm quiet time must be respected.
Pets
Polite pets are welcome but they must be kept on a leash at all times.
Fires
Fires must be confined within the fire circles provided at the campsites and glass must not be put into the fire circles.
Garbage
All garbage should be removed from your campsite and taken with you or disposed of in the on-site dumpster. To avoid attracting
dangerous insects, please dispose of trash in CLOSED plastic bags.
Nuisance Fee
Experience has shown that simply requesting everyone to be considerate of one another regarding loud noise after 11 pm is not enough.
In order to insure your peaceful vacation, everyone must sign in with a credit card an agreement that reads: "I understand there is an
11pm quiet time and if my party disregards it my credit card will be charged a $250.00 nuisance fee***...a nuisance fee will also be
charged for killing or damaging live trees, graffiti, leaving toilet tissue on the ground, leaving broken glass on the ground, burning
picnic tables, stealing fire wood, or destruction of property."
***Two warnings will be given by park attendant between 11 and mid-night. Any out-burst after mid-night will incur a nuisance fee charge
and a request to leave the campground immediately.
***Nuisance fee will be charged with written documentation from other campers.
