Persons with noisy, vicious or uncontrolled animals will be required to leave the park and may be cited. Place dog droppings in garbage containers.
How many tents are allowed per site?
Due to the various sizes of tent sites in our family campgrounds, the quantity of tents that will fit on each site may vary. For example, if your tents are smaller, you may fit more tents than if your tents are much larger. A maximum of 8 people are allowed at each site. Tents are not permitted on the lawn area.
