Terms of Service
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(read this... it's funny.. seriously)
CHECK-IN STARTS AT 1:00 PM for RV and Water/Electric sites.
(12:45 PM is not the same as 1:00 PM)
***Cabins have a check-in that starts at 3:00 PM***
The following is a light hearted review of some things we take seriously...
Our rates are based on 2 adults and dependent children under the age of 18. If your "child" can vote or go to war (18 or older), they are an adult. There is an additional charge for having more than 2 adults on a site.
We strive to provide everyone with a pleasant experience, but need you to do your part. Our policies are written for the benefit of everyone. We reserve the right to kick you out without a refund for violating these terms and conditions:
DON'T BE A JERK — Be considerate, polite and thoughtful of everyone. Remember this one because we will be referring back to it frequently…
CHECK IN: 1pm; CHECK OUT: 11am. Arriving early or leaving late causes problems. We need time from 11am to 1pm to get the resort ready for arriving guests, and to grab a quick lunch. We have to eat, too, you know!
“Don’t make me hangry. You won’t like me when I’m hangry.”
~ The Inedible Hulk (paraphrased, but you get the idea).
CANCELATIONS and CHANGES — All reservations require a minimum of the first night’s deposit (10% for reservations of 7 days or more) so that we know you aren’t trying to play a joke on us. There is a $20 cancellation fee if you cancel your reservation at least 8 days in advance. You can think of it as a penalty for telling a bad joke, but it’s really to cover our third party reservation fees. No refunds will be given for cancellations within a week of your scheduled arrival, and no refunds will be issued after check-in because…. well… it’s not a happy place if you're not here. There are no exceptions — not even for the death of your beloved pet gerbil, no matter how precious he was. God rest his little soul. Any change to your reservation could result in an increase in nightly rates.
REFUNDS — ehh… NO. If you actually read the previous policy, it should be obvious that we don’t really do refunds. The only exception is as follows: You can have all but $20 back if you cancel more than 7 days in advance (sound familiar?). We don’t do refunds for any other reason, no exceptions (this should also sound familiar). See? All is not lost! Your happy place will still be waiting for you!
QUIET TIME: 10pm to 8am. Don’t wake the babies! Night time is a quiet time. NO EXCEPTIONS, ZERO TOLERANCE. No radios, loud talking, laughing or yelling during quiet time. No Cornhole during quiet time. Feel free to sit around the fire and talk quietly after dark, but if you want to stay up late drinking and partying then you should stay somewhere else. That also means that if we stop by to remind you to be quiet, it isn’t because we are being mean. It’s because someone complained about you being too loud so don’t be a jerk and whine about us on social media. We just won’t have you back.
BAG YOUR TRASH — Trash bins are located throughout the resort for your convenience, and for the health and safety of everyone. We empty them regularly throughout the day. BAG and TIE your trash then place it in any of the cans throughout the resort so you don’t attract Fart Squirrels and Trash Pandas (skunks and raccoons).
ONLY ONE VEHICLE PER SITE — Additional vehicles, including your magnificently beautiful and expensive boat, must be parked in the parking lot. Extra vehicles may be loaded/unloaded on site (20 minute limit). All vehicles must fit within the boundaries of your site as designated by site markers, electric boxes, fences and wood lines. Keep the roads and shoulders clear at all times. This is an RV resort not a storage facility, marina, trailer park, golf course or museum … except when the vintage RV and motorcycle clubs are in town.
ABANDONMENT — Any item left behind after departure will be disposed of. Sites that are left unoccupied for more than 48 hours without prior approval will be considered abandoned. Abandoned RVs will be towed and all other items will be disposed of. A separate RV parking lot is available on a limited basis.
TENTS — You may setup only ONE tent, and only on designated sites. No tents are permitted on full hookup RV sites. One tent or RV per site (Michigan regulation R 325.1556 and R 325.1583).
GOLF CARTS, ATVs and UTVs — We allow unlicensed/off-road vehicles at the resort. You must stay on paved roads, obey the speed limit, and operate all vehicles soberly and responsibly. We determine what is soberly and responsibly, not you. Unlicensed operators must be accompanied by a sober, licensed adult who is in a position where they are capable of taking immediate control of the vehicle if necessary. No racing or reckless behavior. You may only do donuts that are edible and shared.
REGISTERED GUESTS ONLY — Sites, facilities and amenities are for registered guests only. No more than 8 persons, regardless of age, are permitted per site (Michigan regulation R 325.1556). As a registered guest, YOU are financially responsible for all individuals at your campsite, and for any and all damage. ALL VISITORS must be registered in the office (relax, it’s free) and they must depart the resort before 10pm. Visitors are NOT allowed to use any campground facilities. However, additional GUESTS are permitted to use the facilities for a fee. In other words, Visitors and Guests are not the same. They aren’t even spelled the same.
DIGGING — Do not dig or drive stakes into the ground without prior approval. Electric and water lines are buried in the ground between campsites. We generally know where they are, but you probably don’t. You are responsible for any damage to the resort and to yourself. We’re pretty sure that the bed in your RV is more comfortable than the one at the hospital, and our nightly rates are definitely cheaper.
SEWER CONNECTION — An air-tight sewer boot is required by law. You may think that your poop doesn’t stink, but you'd be wrong. The black water tank valve must remain closed except when dumping. If you want a free RV 101 refresher course on waste management, let us know. Getting educated in front of your kids will be much less embarrassing than when you discover that they used the stinky slinky to turn your neighbor’s front yard into a slip and slide (and no, we didn’t just make that up).
CHILDREN — We LOVE kids (ask for proof — we dare you). We just require them to remain supervised by a sober, responsible and attentive parent/guardian. All children 17 and under must remain at their campsite after 10pm unless escorted by a sober and responsible adult (your crazy uncle and your dog do not meet our definition of responsible).
PETS — We like pets, but they must be kept quiet (no barking), kept on a leash at all times, exercised only in the designated areas and you must pick up their poop. Even if your pet may have worked really hard on it and it probably looks a lot like someone from a previous marriage. Feel free to post a picture of it on social media, but then you must pick up it up because no one wants to step in a masterpiece. Besides, we’ll fine you $20 if we have to clean it up. Do not leave any pets unattended. Pets are not allowed in any building.
CAMPFIRES — Fires are allowed only in the designated fire ring, and no fires larger than 2 feet high. All fires must be out by midnight. Firewood is available at the camp store, and free delivery is available. You may bring your own firewood, but you may NOT leave your leftover wood behind — burn it or take it home. That doesn’t mean toss your leftover firewood in the fire ring as you are driving away (we have to put that thing out before we can clean it up for the next guest). A limited number of larger “group” fire rings are available for a fee.
TREES — Many of our trees are 100 years old, and we’d like to keep them around a lot longer so please “leave” them alone. Don’t attach anything to our trees, and don’t try to rearrange them with your vehicle. Clothesline’s are definitely not permitted (this is an RV park not a trailer park). We have nice dryers in the Laundry Room.
DEFACING — Tattoo you, but don’t art the park. Defacing trees, picnic tables, buildings or equipment is a clear violation of our first rule.
PICNIC TABLES — Do not put anything HOT on the picnic tables. It will damage the picnic table, and that hot thing will cost you cool points — not to mention a lot of money. Those tables are expensive.
SWIMMING POOL — Sorry, but the pool is for registered guests only (blame the Michigan Health Department because it’s their regulation). Children under the age of 13 must have a sober, responsible adult present at the pool. No glass containers are allowed! Rinse the sand off your feet before you enter the pool house. There is NO LIFEGUARD ON DUTY!! Stay off the safety rope — it’s not a toy! If you break any safety equipment, you are responsible for the repairs, and we are required by law to close the pool. You will lose all your cool points for that, and we will kick you out and ban you from the resort — the most severe penalty possible.
ETIQUETTE — DO NOT wash RV’s, cars, boats, other vehicles, pets or people without permission. Do not run generators. No offensive noises of any kind. Keep your campsite clean and tidy. Don’t walk through someone else’s site. Seriously — that’s just lazy and RUDE! We will kick you and everyone in your party out of the resort for being a jerk to your neighbors (remember the first rule?).
FIREWORKS — Nope. Not allowed. Sparklers are permitted under the supervision of a sober, responsible adult. If you are an adult with a sparkler, you should be supervised by an irresponsible child.
SMOKING — NO smoking or vaping is allowed in any building. Dispose of your butts properly. Even if your butt is nice, we don’t want to touch it or even look at it.
LIABILITY — All park facilities and the equipment of the park is intended for the convenience of our guests. Any and all persons using these facilities does so at THEIR OWN RISK. The resort and management are NOT RESPONSIBLE for accidents, injuries or damage due to fire, theft, wind, flood, acts of God, stupidity, ignorance, arrogance, negligence, incompetence or any other reason you can possibly think of.
BEAUTY CONTEST — They may have removed the Beauty Contest card from Monopoly, but we still think you are beautiful and worthy of a prize. By staying with us, you, your visitors and your guests are officially entered into our beauty contest. If you win, we will use a photo of you in our online and/or print advertising and marketing campaigns. You will also get a prize in the form of store credit. Just come to the front desk and show us where we used your photo. It's like playing Where's Waldo, but a little more lucrative. Contest starts May 1st and ends September 30th. Photos used must be taken after the start of the contest. Limit one winner per reservation.
