Vehicle Standards:

The quality of RV's in a campground can contribute to or detract from the overall experience for all campers. For this reason, we enforce some vehicle standards, similar to those in place at many other RV campgrounds.

• All vehicles must be in good and operable condition.
• Vehicles may not be repaired or washed in the campgrounds.
• Exterior should not be unsightly, i.e., free from obvious defects or poorly-repaired damage (e.g. no duct tape, tarps) and should have intact doors, windows, body panels, etc.
• Isolated minor issues (e.g. minor window cracking, noticeable but properly repaired body damage) are generally acceptable, provided multiple issues don't cumulatively add up to a substantially deteriorated appearance.

Commercial Activities:

No commercial or business activities are permitted except as provided for in city code.

Damages:

Guests are solely responsible for all damage and destruction of property, and any injury to persons, caused by the guest or his or her family, visitors or pets. We reserve the right to charge guests accordingly for any damage they cause, including but not limited to violations of our fire policy, litter (e.g. broken glass, cigarette butts), and noxious discharge from vehicles (e.g. gray/black water, oil).
