Digging & Stakes

Respect Our Trees

Do not harm or damage trees. Hammock camping is allowed only on trees with a minimum 12-inch diameter, and straps must be properly guarded/padded.

Respect Our Grass

  • No parking on the grass.
  • No outdoor rugs or any grass-suppressing objects.

Damage Responsibility

You are responsible for any damage caused by yourself or your guests. Charges will apply for any damages to property, facilities, or grounds.

No Bleach or Chemicals

DO NOT dump bleach, antifreeze, or other chemicals due to our water treatment process. Damage caused by failure to follow this rule is extremely costly and will be charged to the responsible party.

Theft & Unauthorized Access

  • Theft is rare, but any stolen property (from the campground or fellow campers) will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. If you didn’t bring it, don’t take it.
  • Restricted Areas: Do not enter prohibited zones, including the Water Treatment Zone/Lagoon. Violations will result in fines and potential legal action.

Pet Policy

  • Leashes are required at all times outside of the dog park.
  • Clean up after your pet immediately—failure to do so will result in fines.
  • Pets must not create excessive noise or disturbances. We reserve the right to ask disruptive pets (and their owners) to leave.
  • Dog Park: Pets may be off-leash inside the dog park but must be attended and cleaned up after.

Campfire Rules

  • Fires are only allowed in proper fire rings (not guaranteed to be provided).
  • Never leave fires unattended—extinguish them if unattended.
  • Ashes must be properly disposed of (DO NOT place them in the dumpster).
  • No fires within 10 feet of any structure or tree.

Booking Policies

  • Non-transferable bookings: Reservations cannot be transferred to another person.
  • Camper misrepresentation: If the camper size or setup is misrepresented, the booking will be forfeited without a refund.

We truly appreciate your cooperation in keeping Dakota Sunsets Campground a wonderful place for years to come. Violations of these policies may result in fees, future booking bans, or legal action.

Let’s all be considerate and enjoy the great outdoors!😊

Thank You!
