Anvil Campground – Terms & Conditions

To ensure a safe, smooth, and enjoyable experience for all, guests must agree to the following policies before arrival. Thank you for choosing Anvil Campground.

Vehicle & Guest Registration

  • All vehicles must be registered at check-in with make, model, color, and license plate. Parking passes must be displayed at all times.
  • 1 vehicle maximum is allowed at Log Cabin, Water/Electric, and Small RV sites. 2 vehicles maximum are allowed at all other sites and cottages.
  • 1 vehicle is included with each reservation. Additional vehicles are $10 per night.
  • Maximum occupancy: 4 people at Water/Electric sites and Cabins; 6 people at all other sites and cottages.
  • Extra overnight visitors will be charged based on our occupancy structure, which includes both people and vehicles.
  • All guests and visitors must register at the Welcome Center. Day visitors are free; overnight visitors may incur charges.
  • Unregistered guests and vehicles are considered trespassing and may result in the entire party being removed from the property without refund.

Electric Vehicle Charging Policy

  • We’re happy to welcome guests with electric vehicles! While we support eco-friendly travel, EVs may only be plugged into your RV itself — not directly into our electrical pedestals.
  • Our pedestals are designed specifically for RV use and are not built to handle the power demands of direct EV charging. Site rates include electricity to power your RV, not to fuel vehicles. This helps keep things safe, fair, and consistent for all guests, including those with gas-powered vehicles.
  • Guests without an RV may only charge their EV using the 20-amp (120v) standard outlet on their pedestal. Charging through the 30-amp or 50-amp outlets is not permitted.

Reservation & Payment Policies

  • Reservations booked 8 or more days before arrival require a 50% deposit. The remaining balance will be due 7 days before arrival if it has not already been paid.
  • Reservations booked within 7 days of arrival require full payment at the time of booking.
