Seasonal MUST come to the office to pay their bill. Advance payments are accepted on account to avoid late fees.

Most of our campsites are designed to be either a tent site or a trailer site. This is why many of the electric pedestals at the sites have both a larger plug for your camper and a standard plug for tenting.

This setup is designed for one plug or the other to be in use, but not both at the same time. Using both can potentially strain our electrical systems and may lead to your ejection from the park.

Using both plugs at the same time is strictly prohibited.

Plugging any trailer designed for 50 amp use into a 30 amp electric site is discouraged. Most 50 amp to 30 amp plug converters DO NOT limit your trailer from trying to use 50 amps and will blow our circuit breakers.

Failure to pay your electric bill may result in electricity being turned off to your site.

If a seasonal Camper removes their camping unit from their seasonal site for 30 consecutive days or more during the camping season, the site will be deemed to be abandoned, the Campsite License will be revoked without refund, and the site may be rented to others.

SEE SOMETHING OR HEAR SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING POLICY:

If you see someone speeding, jumping in the pool, or breaking any of the other Campground rules, you are encouraged to remind people “Please slow down”, or “As a reminder, there is no jumping in the pool”, "No loud noises, yelling, or loud radios are allowed during the day" or “Quiet time is from 10:00 pm until 8:00 am”.

You are also encouraged to speak to Management about such matters.

SELLING YOUR CAMPER:

The sale of a camping unit does NOT include the Site. Seasonal Campsite Licenses are NON-TRANSFERABLE. You may not transfer ownership of a trailer on-site to another family member without Management approval. Subletting is not permitted. Trailers shall be owned by only one family and cannot be co-owned. Only one trailer and one family will be allowed on a site. Management also reserves the right, in its’ sole discretion, to deny or approve any proposed transfer. NO REFUND of Seasonal Campsite License fees will be provided to the Seller if the unit is sold.

SHEDS:

Please see Management PRIOR to obtaining a shed. One (1) 10’ x 10’ (or smaller) plastic shed is allowed on a campsite. The only style of shed allowed is the premanufactured kind such as Rubbermaid or other brands, which are commonly found at hardware stores and other retailers. The location of the shed must be approved by Management.

All other styles of sheds must be removed from the campground by no later than September 1, 2020. Any shed remaining on the property after that date will be considered abandoned and will be removed from the campground at the expense of the Seasonal.

Do not place screen rooms, sheds, or other items within 10 feet of the site boundary.

SITES:

PLEASE be considerate of your fellow camper, do not cut through other sites. Screen rooms, sheds, or other items within 10 feet of the site boundary are not allowed.

Site boundaries, with rare exceptions, go from electric pedestal to electric pedestal.

Your rig length is measured from the tow hitch to the back bumper or other extensions. Our site sizes are based upon this total length.

Sites may not be modified for any reason without prior written authorization from Kayuta Lake Campground management.

SITE OCCUPANCY:

The site rate includes up to 2 adults with up to 4 children (age 17 & under). A maximum of 5 additional guests are permitted for an additional fee. Only one RV and one 2 Person tent may be set up on your site (7’ X 7’ maximum) for the children to sleep in, space permitting.

Sorry, no tents are allowed at the rental cabins or rental campers.

SITE LOCK FEE GUARANTEE:

While we guarantee your site type, our automated optimization system may change your site location. You can guarantee your chosen site with a lock fee.

If your booked and locked site becomes unavailable, we will transfer your reservation to the closest site of the same site type and refund your camping fee.

STORAGE:

Storage of any boats, trailers, and campers must be arranged with Management and may be subject to additional charges.

TENANCY:

Camper understands and agrees that Kayuta Lake Campground is only a recreational park and that Kayuta Lake Campground is not Camper’s residence.

TREES:

Please do not drive nails or screws into the trees, or disfigure them in any manner.

Any items currently nailed or screwed into trees must be removed.

If you wish to have a flagpole or other items displayed from a tree, simply attach your item to a board, drill holes into the board, and then use a rope to tie the board around a tree.

Damaging trees in any manner is forbidden and you will be billed accordingly.

There is a minimum of a $25 fine for each month or portion thereof for each item nailed or screwed into a tree on Campers’ site.

TRASH:

Please bag your garbage and use the dumpster at the main entrance. Do not throw garbage over the dumpster fence. Dumpsters have covers that need to be opened before tossing garbage.

Do NOT use the pet waste garbage cans for anything other than pet waste.

Debris, junk, trash, and other unsightly items may not be stored at your site.

Only trash generated here at the Campground should be put in the dumpster.

Broken furniture, grills, rugs, etc. are not considered household trash and should be taken home with you.

Please do not litter. This includes cigarette butts! This is our home and we take pride in the cleanliness of our park!

Your credit and/or debit card will be automatically charged a $25 cleaning fee for trash and/or cigarette butts left behind and/or for burning trash. Please bring all garbage to the dumpsters at the entrance.

VEHICLES:

Only TWO vehicles per campsite. All vehicles must display a valid car pass. Additional vehicles can be parked in the storage/parking area. Motorcycles are for entering and leaving the Campground ONLY. ATVs, UTVs, dirt bikes, mini bikes are prohibited on the grounds. If your vehicles do not fit on your site, you must make other arrangements with management.

VISITORS:

WASHING CAMPERS/VEHICLES:

Camping units that remain all season must be washed at least twice a year, more if needed. Because all of our water is pumped from a well, washing of personal automobiles is not permitted.

Campground reserves the right not to maintain and keep the roadways in the Campground free and clear of all ice and snow. All visits during the winter must be made by appointment in advance.

In the event of a dire situation, appointments may be made for Campground access to a stored RV or watercraft during the off-season. You MUST call ahead in advance and speak with Management to make an appointment to come on the grounds. Leaving a voice mail is NOT sufficient. In the event an RV must be removed from the Campground during the off-season, charges may apply for snow removal, freeing items that are frozen down, and/or towing the RV. Removal will be dependent upon road and weather conditions at the time.

Violation of the rules may result in ejection from the park without a refund.
