Campsite Information
- Every campsite is 18’ x 40.’
- Only (1) sleeping unit (tent, RV, etc.) is allowed on a campsite.
- There are only (6) people allowed per campsite.
- Every person camping or visiting the campgrounds will need to be wearing a campground access pass to get inside the campgrounds. Only (1) campground access pass comes with your campsite; any additional people camping on your campsite will need to have purchased an additional campground access pass. For example, if you purchase a campsite for yourself and your two friends, you yourself will not need a campground access pass because you get one free with the purchased campsite. However, you will need to purchase two additional campground access passes for your two friends.
- There is only (1) vehicle allowed on a campsite. Note: If you are driving an RV and have an additional car, both will be allowed on the campsite, as the RV is your sleeping unit and the car will then be your additional vehicle.
- Semi trailers, large enclosed trailers, or flatbed trailers are not allowed in the campgrounds.
- Some campsites are not level, as the campground is located in a large field. We cannot tell you what each individual campsite looks like (we have over 7,000), so PLEASE be prepared and bring your own blocking.
- All campsites are marked with patio blocks. Removal of these blocks will result in being fined. Anyone taking someone else’s spot will be asked to move their camper.
