Terms & Conditions

Terms & Conditions (aka "The Fine Print")

We are super glad you've decided to camp with us! We want you to have tons of fun here, but we also want you to remember the rules. And we want you to get to know us a little better, so don't take any of this personally. Unless you're one of those people who take everything personally, then knock yourself out - as usual, it's all about you. 

Now, let's get to it. We are all about happy camping! Camping should be fun and for fun people. We are fun people and like to meet new fun people! Our hope is to spread joy to you and all of our guests that come stay with us. We believe whole-hearteduly in loving your neighbor and being respectful of one other. When everyone follows the rules, then it just makes for a much better experience for everyone. But let's be serious, it mostly makes for a much better experience for us as your hosts, so just follow the rules and help US help YOU! If you find yourself having a difficult time getting along with someone next to you that is different from you, from a different place than you, has a different shade of skin than you, believes something different than you, voted for someone you don't like, is prettier than you are, prays or doesn't pray, or is camping with someone you are pretty sure you'd never camp with, and you feel the need to make a comment to us or someone else about it, then you're probably not going to like camping here.  As much as we are laid back and light-hearted about most things, being rude or intolerant of others is not acceptable or allowed here. Also, no grouchy, greedy, condescending, dismissive, or in general, anxiety-riddled, unkind humans at camp. Most people come here to get away from those people. If you're one of them, you should probably stay home. And might we recommend a good therapist? Or maybe just a big, Idaho hug? By the way, the big Idaho hugs are free here. The therapy is not.

Avoid spraying things into your eyes or into your kids' eyes. (Yes, we are surprised as well how often this actually happens). While campfires are allowed (unless otherwise posted during a burn ban), avoid lighting things other than the wood you brought, or purchased here, on fire. Please be advised, many campsites look alike. Many RVs look alike. Many spouses look alike. Many children look alike. Try not to mistake yours for someone else's. Camp at your own risk. Park at your own risk. Eat at your own risk. Drink at your own risk. Walk at your own risk. Swim at your own risk. Please obey the pool rules and note there is no lifeguard on duty. This means if you get drunk and fall in the pool, or wrap yourself up in your super cute oversized beach towel and then trip on it and launch yourself into a wooden pool chair, we'll call for help and do everything within our ability to help you but we are in the sticks and it will take a bit of time (at least 35 minutes) for real help to arrive. Incidentally, the rules to the pool are on the large obnoxious red and white sign that doesn't match our color scheme. We decided to not have it match our color scheme so you'll notice it and read it. Stupid parents let their kids swim alone. Don’t be a stupid parent. Don’t flush things in the toilet that don’t go in the toilet or you might have to buy a toilet. Don’t wash your feet in the sinks. Don’t wash your feet in the toilets. In fact, don’t put anything in the toilets that is not intended for toilets. If you don’t know what toilets are intended for then you might not want to trying pulling an RV outside of your own neighborhood. Camp chairs and pop-up tents pinch fingers and are dangerous. That first step out of your trailer is a doozie. Pretty sure nothing you do here is tax deductible but I'm wrong alot and you are welcome to talk to your CPA about that. Camping is not recommended for people who don’t like the outdoors. Nothing here is level. Everything here is dusty. When lighting anything that is fueled with propane, don't put your face right next to it so you can "see what you're doing better". Your trailer is basically made of kindling so please be aware of how close you put your grill and your firepit to it. We'd also love it if you wouldn't use your firepit directly below one of our really pretty trees that you paid a bit extra to camp under. There are at least two big white garbage receptacles at camp. We'll be happy to help you find them.  Please put your trash in there. When we have to dig your trash out of tiny little trash cans or pick up in random places about camp, we shake our heads and wonder if you were raised by apes. 

Wildlife-ey things live here so expect to wake up early to birds chirping and deer walking right through your campspot.  If the birds wake you up earlier than you'd like, count it as one of the gifts of being here, make some coffee and watch the sunrise. Cows, deer, elk, bear, elephants, camels, anything you would NOT quite expect to be in the middle of the dirt road on the way in here are sometimes right in the middle of the dirt road on the way in here and incidentally, have the right of way. Yep, that’s right, "Open Grazing" is a real thing and there are laws about it in Idaho. If you hit a cow, you buy a cow. And they make really really big dents in your stuff, so we recommend slowing your roll down already on the dirt road. It’s also a super big bummer when you run over a kid on a bike or a person walking their dog, and we have to call people like the police and fill out a bunch of paperwork, so again, we'd appreciate it if you'd slow your roll when driving through and around camp. If someone yells at you while you're driving around camp, either you're dragging your septic hose around, or you're driving too fast. You'll probably know which by the number of fingers they put up or down. 

We know you love your dog more than you love any of us, but they are not the boss of you. They are also not the boss of us. We have a 2 pet maximum per campsite policy. If you have an issue counting to 2, look down. Count your feet. If you have more pets than feet, you brought too many. Now, it won't take you long to realize that we make exceptions to literally just about every rule up here - especially if you ask nicely and give us a really good reason (made up or not) to do so.  We know some people have 3 dogs and we know that every dog is a "really good dog" but we have to start somewhere. You have a much better shot at an exception to our pet policy if you ask nicely beforehand rather than just showing up with 7 dogs and hoping we won't notice. Pick up your dog poop, it's just the right thing to do. If your dog is not on a leash, please understand we will assume you want them to be treated like any other wild animal roaming the park and they may or may not be considered “in season”. We know you love your kids more than you love any of us, but they are not the boss of you. They are also not the boss of us. If your kid is roaming the campground and causing mayhem, please just understand we will assume you want them to be treated like any other wild animal roaming the park and they may or may not be considered “in season”. Do not assume everyone likes your dog. Do not assume everyone likes your kids. In fact, while you're at it, you probably should not assume everyone likes you. Please remember to take your dogs and kids with you when you leave. 

We have big rocks here, try not to hit them. Try not to back into other people’s junk. If you do, let us know. We will probably just look at you and shake our head, but we still want to know so we can make a fun story of it around the campfire later and and wave when you drive away with a big dent in your stuff.  Don’t take it if it’s not yours- that’s called stealing and in some parts of Idaho you can be shot for that. You'll forget something, you can count on it. We will share anything we have or help you dig up something from the pile of things that others have left behind that will work for you so you don't have to drive all the way back down the dirt road to get it, but If you borrow it, please put it back where you found it. It's just the right thing to do. 

We reserve the right to change the rules at any time depending on what kind of mood our “customer service team” is in. We also reserve the right to change the rules at any time depending on what kind of mood YOU are in. We are nearly always really accommodating happy people who want to make your stay with us as pleasant as possible, but sometimes people back into things or put things in toilets or burn stuff they shouldn't and then we get crankty for a hot minute. We always get over it, but if you happen to come upon us and we're making an ugly face, it's (probably) not because we don't like you. We might have been born with an ugly face, or maybe someone just backed into something or burned something they shouldn't, or put something they shouldn't in the toilet. If we ask you nicely to remember one of our rules, it would be really super cool if you could just respect that and follow them. We'll remind you and give you more than your fair share of chances to get it right.  We do have people big enough to throw you over the fence, but it's kind of not fun when we have to.  If we ask you to leave or not come back for some reason, it will be because you were a total jerk and we gave you like 4 chances to not be.

We are VERY GRATEFUL you have chosen Trinity View Resort to spend your time away from home. Our long term goal is eventually to make a profit and keep this place thriving and growing. We hope to not have to pay YOU to camp with US, so if you don't like our prices and can't afford to park your second or third, extra, superfluous (it means really extra) "recreational vehicle" here, then you probably shouldn't.  We promise not to take it personal. We have discounts first and foremost for EVERY single person that is current or former military and always will. Thank you from the bottom of our freedom loving hearts for your sacrifice and service. We also have a bunch of other random discounts to help you be here, so don't hesitate to ask. Shoot, sometimes we just really like you and give you a discount for no good reason other than you made us smile. Try to remember, if a discount doesn't apply, you're making it possible to come back again. We didn't invent Idaho sales tax, but we do charge Idaho sales tax and pay Idaho sales tax. Sales tax has kind of been a thing for like awhile now so if you don't understand it, you can probably google it or something. There's also this curious thing in Idaho called "Travel & Convention" tax. It's an additional 2% tax. I used to think it was a made up thing that hotels and resorts tacked on for no good reason but who knew it's a real thing and it all goes straight to the state of Idaho. We're told it's to pay for the tiny blue highway directional sign that is the only sign we're legally permitted to put on the highway to find us. It's the blue sign that has our name on it. The blue sign you might miss if you blink. The sign that incidentally we had to pay for. 

It gets really hot here in July and August. And interestly enough, sometimes right in the middle of June for really no explainable reason at all. And then about 17 minutes later, it gets super hot. Things in mirror are closer than they appear. (I'm pretty sure that's not the first time you've read that). No fighting when parking or backing your trailer. No fighting when entering or exiting your trailer. No barking orders to your spouse loud enough for the person in the next camp spot to hear you. If your wife can back a trailer better than you, just let her.  If your husband can back a trailer at all, fix him a cold drink and say thank you.  Everything is slippery when it gets wet. Especially cement steps that are next to an descend/ascend out of a pool full of wet water. This place is in the mountains, therefore lots of mountain-ey stuff happens here like bugs, dust, wind, dirt, spiders, frogs, snakes and all of the seasons of weather. Sometimes all in the same day. Ever seen Caddyshack? Welcome to our Caddyshack. Please watch your step around camp - there are like really alot of ground squirrel holes everywhere. We've tried to "eradicate" a few of them, but PETA shut us down. (Not really). The truth is, they breed, well, like ground squirrels, so it's become a bit of a game around here (for us and the ground squirrels).  Our office is not always open, sometimes we have to eat or go fish something out of a toilet, or clean a cabin and have to step away. We try to answer your calls and texts early and late but try not to be surprised when you learn we don't sleep at the office. Except when your story goes on for like an hour and takes more than a couple twists and turns, then we might doze off standing at the counter trying to follow along.

It may not sound like it, but WE ACTUALLY REALLY LOVE PEOPLE (that's why we bought the place) and are thrilled that you want to camp with us, but not everyone is going to like it here and we totally understand. We'll try not to take it personal if you won't. That pretty much sums it up but we know that for some reason packing up all of your favorite things and people in the heat of summer, putting $500 of fuel into every vehicle you own, packing enough food for 25 people when you're only bringing 4, stopping at the store for more food on your way that you didn't really need because you actually just stopped for ice and beer but your wife bought a bunch of other stuff in case your best friends and all their kids decide to come up, driving at least an hour to get here, some of it on a dusty road you didn't read previously in our policies that we warned you about, and then getting here and finding out you forgot something....can tend to make some people cranky. We get it!  That's exactly why we bought this place! But try to remember camping with us is a voluntary sport, you made it into these aboslutely stunning surroundings. We don't have a trophy for you and we aren't the MGM Grand but we also don't charge $27 for water. It's pretty darn cool here and you paid to get here afterall, so tell us your woes (in 5 sentences or less) and we'll do your best to help you get over it and enjoy your stay! If we don't and we drop the ball, please tell US! If it's as pleasant as we hope it is for you, tell your FRIENDS! We want to do everything we can to make it great for you while you're here and a little better for the next guest so we'd love to hear how we can do that.  Thanks for camping with us! Now here are the rules we actually have to publish to cover our Trinity View Resort fannies when you decide to break them.
