- Generators are not permitted at the Inn Town Campground. Please note that we do have plugs in the Commons if you’re tent camping and need to charge a phone, and all glamping tents have electricity.
- Our facilities make for a great experience for our campers, and we often have campers who have friends or family in the area.
- Keep in mind that only campers can use our facilities, so if your brother or uncle Jimmy wants to come swimming, consider renting him a site so he can join in and not be disappointed.
- Although we think sticks, bugs, rocks, and fellow campers offer plenty of entertainment, you may want to listen to music or watch outdoor TVs at your site.
- Please keep in mind that your neighbors may not want to listen in, so keep programming and volume appropriate so that it does not disturb neighboring campers.
- We also ask that you not play music or videos in any of the communal areas.
- Our quiet hours are from 9:00 PM to 8:00 AM.
- Please limit sound and light to your own site during this time. This can be really hard for city dwellers who are accustomed to a lot of ambient noise and light.
- Seriously, you may have to whisper to keep your voice quiet at night.
- We strictly enforce these hours so all campers can enjoy their stay.
- Due to insurance issues, we do not allow guests to bring and operate golf carts at camp.
- If you have an EV bike, please note that the 5 mph speed limit applies to the park.

- All of our sites are individually booked, so you can choose the spot that works best for you.
- But that means you have to stick to the site you book unless we can accommodate you otherwise upon arrival.
- You’re going camping in nature.
- There are trees, bugs, plants, heat, smoke, rain, sun, wind, pollen, and a whole host of other natural phenomena that we can’t control.
- It might be hot…or cold…or both.
- Use your best judgment to weigh the awesome benefits of being outside here vs. the possible close encounters of the natural kind you might experience.
- Be prepared and take into account our Cancellation and Change policies as you plan your adventure.
- Although we’re proud of the place we have created and think everyone will have a great time, we do reserve the right to refuse service to anyone and will not be responsible for accidents, injuries, or loss of property of any kind.
- Keep your stuff secure, be aware of your environment, and be a good steward of the forest.
