MANAPOGO RV CAMPGROUND -- GENERAL GUIDELINES, RULES & REGULATIONS

REGISTRATION for campers and guests must be done at the office upon arrival.

Check-in for campsites and cabins is 3 PM, check-out time is 11 AM.
Depending on availability, guests can pay a $25 fee for early check-in before 3 PM or late check-out after 11AM but must first confirm with office staff.
One unit (RV, trailer, pop-up, or tent), one additional vehicle, two adults, and two children (max 4 people) are included in your rate. All additional persons and vehicles must register at the office. Guests are welcome on the property until 9 PM. Day passes for visitors are $10.

QUIET HOURS begin at 10 PM, with no exceptions. We ask that the music is then turned off and that noise is kept to a minimum in your unit. Any camper(s) or group that creates a disturbance or destroys campground property will immediately lose camping privileges without refund(s). A security guard will patrol the park as quiet hours approach to remind all guests to wind down. Please notify security or call the manager on duty to report a nuisance after quiet hours.

ALCOHOL is permitted at your campsite. When traveling about the campground, please transfer alcohol beverages into cups. For the safety of our maintenance staff and guests, GLASS BOTTLES ARE PROHIBITED.

TRASH is to be disposed of, BY ALL GUESTS, in the provided dumpsters. The campground does NOT offer trash pickup services. Please do not dispose of large items that do not fit in trash bags, such as chairs, tables, grills, awnings, etc. By law, propane tanks of any size cannot be left in public dumpsters. Please break down all cardboard boxes. Please do not dispose of any type of electronics.

Pets are not allowed in any campground buildings (laundry room, bathhouse, pavilion, etc.) Aggressive dogs of any breed are not welcome.

Any firewood stored on site must be stacked against the unit. Firewood is available for purchase in the store, and we would be happy to deliver it to your site.
