Please ensure that you:
- Wash your hands often and for at least 20 seconds.
- Monitor your health. Do not come if you have any of the symptoms of a viral infection. Watch for fever, cough, shortness of breath, or other symptoms of COVID-19.

visitors
We would like your stay to be as enjoyable as possible, so we ask that anyone staying at your site as well as your guests/visitors are familiar with the following policies. Failure to follow them could result in being asked to vacate your site without a refund. Parents are responsible for their children’s behavior, safety and whereabouts during their stay with us.

All visitors must check-in at the office and must leave prior to quiet time – NO EXCEPTIONS!

quiet hours
10:00 p.m. - 8:00 a.m. Daily

**Excessive Noise at any time is not permitted.

Please keep voices low and lights to a minimum. Radios and voices should not be heard outside of your campsite. Campers that need to be repeatedly spoken to after quiet hours will be asked to leave the campground with no refund.

Children under the age of 16 are not allowed to roam the property alone after 10 p.m.

pets
Limit is two per campsite.

Pets must be cleaned up after and not left unattended. Dogs must be kept leashed and excessive barking will not be tolerated. Aggressive dogs are not permitted. All dog owners must provide proof of Rabies vaccination. You are liable if your pet bites anyone.

firewood and campfires
We do not allow any outside firewood to be brought in. It is illegal to bring firewood into the state of Maine due to the spread of the Emerald Ash Borer and many other bugs that can be transported from non-kiln dried firewood. The heating process not only dries out the wood, but also kills the dangerous bugs that can be spread. The beauty of our surroundings would be heavily impacted should our trees ever contract these bugs.

We realize that a bonfire is an integral part of the camping experience; therefore we try to keep the cost of our wood as reasonable as possible.

• All campfires are to be kept within a campground approved ring and may never be left unattended. No moving of fire pits is allowed.
  
• Do not remove branches or bark from live trees, nor cut down any trees (up to a $500.00 fine per tree may be incurred). You may collect and burn dead fall.
  
• Please observe any fire condition notices posted in the camp store.
  
• Do not put your trash in fire pits. However, it is o.k. to burn paper products.

general policies
