Terms & Conditions

CITY OF BIG FALLS CAMPGROUND POLICY

The purpose of this policy is to create a fun, safe and relaxing place for Big Falls residents and visitors to enjoy.

Camp sites.  Fees are to be paid according to the current posted fee schedule.  One RV and one tent or two tents are allowed per paid site.  Additional tents or RVs will be charged accordingly.  Camper drains are NOT permitted to run on the ground.  Overnight camping is not allowed in picnic shelters.

Check-In/Out.  Check-in is at noon.  A check out of 11 a.m. will be enforced if the site is reserved for that night. 

Reservations.  Reservations are available by on-line Reservation System via the City website, calling the city office, or, the camp host. Reservations may be made one year prior to the arrival date.  The city reserves the right to require reservations to be pre-paid.  A minimum stay of two nights is required over the following holidays:  Memorial weekend, 4th of July and Labor Day weekend, and payment in full must be made two weeks prior to arrival for said holidays.  Any cancellations must be made 48 hours prior to arrival in order to receive a refund.   Pavilions are available to reserve for day use special events by contacting the city office.

Pets.  Pets are welcome in the campground on a leash at all times.  All litter must be cleaned up and properly disposed.  Any nuisance barking must be immediately controlled, or you may be asked to remove the animal from the campground.

Quiet Hours.  For the comfort of all guests, quiet hours are expected to be observed from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.  This doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a late-night campfire, just be sure it doesn’t interfere with your fellow camper’s ability to get a good night’s rest.

ATVs.  ATV’s are allowed to drive into and out of the main campground, as long as speed limits are obeyed.  Courtesy and caution must be used at all times.  No recreational driving throughout the campground.  Please show respect for guests at the horse camp and use extreme caution and low speeds near any horses.

Fires.  Fires are allowed in the designated pits only.  The pits may NOT be moved.  Make sure fires are “dead out” when leaving your site.  Signs will be posted in the event of a burning ban issued by the DNR.

Trash.  Place all trash in the cans or dumpsters provided.  Do not burn garbage in the fire pits. The dumpster is for use by campground guests only.

Horse Camp.   Horse camp sites are for horse campers only during the peak riding seasons of May 1 – 31st and September 1st thru October 31st or may be used by others if the main campground is full.  Use the picket lines provided when tying your horse.  Portable corrals are permitted if necessary – grounds must be raked and restored after their use - and try to keep the corrals on the gravel whenever possible.  All manure and hay are to be removed from the camp sites and placed in the manure pit provided.   Be considerate to other visitors and clean up after your horses on the highway bridge walkways.  Remember that all area trails are “multi-use” and you must use caution when meeting motorized vehicles.

REFUSAL TO FOLLOW THE POLICY MAY RESULT IN REMOVAL FROM THE CAMPGROUND
