Campground Policies: Where Fun Meets "Follow the Rules or Else"

Firewood: Don't Be a Bug Smuggler

Bringing outside firewood is a big no-no (thanks, DNR!). Our office sells top-notch, bug-free wood that's been given the VIP treatment to keep invasive critters out. Help us keep our forest fabulous—buy local (from us) or face the wrath of a million tiny invaders!

Check-In & Check-Out: Timing Is Everything

Check-In: 2:00 PM—Don’t roll up at dawn like you’re storming the castle.
Check-Out: 11:00 AM—Pack up and skedaddle, or we’ll charge you for loitering like it’s a 90's mall hangout.
Early Check-In/Late Check-Out Fees (because time is money):
Early Check-In (before 11:00 AM): $25. No sneaking in at sunrise!
Late Check-Out (after 12:00 PM but before 5:00 PM): $25. Don’t make us send the cleanup crew with a megaphone.
Notify the office if you’re planning to bend time. Showing up before noon without warning is like cutting in line at a buffet—rude!
"Check-out" means leaving the park, not just waving goodbye from your tent.

Camping: Tents, RVs, and No Shenanigans

Nightly Rates: One tent or one RV per site. Want to add a tent? That’ll be $15/night. But listen up: Tents alone are never permitted on FHU sites, unless you want to see our manager do the grumpy cat impression.
Occupancy: Rates cover 2 adults and 3 kids. Extra adults (18+)? $5/night. Extra kids? $2/night. Max 4 adults, 8 people total—don’t try to cram in your entire family reunion.
Vehicles: Two vehicles max (cars, trucks, boats, trailers, ATVs). No squatting on empty sites or parking like you’re playing bumper cars. Extra vehicles? Spill the beans to the office for overflow parking. During busy holidays/weekends, it’s $5/day for the overflow lot.
Trash Talk: Leave trash in your fire pit or campsite, and we’ll slap you with a $25 "litterbug" fee. Keep it clean, folks—nobody likes a campsite that looks like a rock concert aftermath.

Cancellation Policy: Don’t Ghost Us

Pay in full when booking unless you’re a long-term VIP with special arrangements.
Cancel on arrival day or within 7 days? No refund—sorry, our crystal ball is on the fritz.
8–14 days before? You get half your money back.
15+ days? Full refund minus one night’s deposit.
Seasonal/monthly campers, call the office—we’re not mind readers!

Cabins: Your Cozy Home Away from Home

Key Deposit: $25, refundable if you don’t pull a rockstar and trash the place.
Comfort Cabins (C & D): 2-night minimum, 3 nights for holidays (Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day). Built for 2 adults + 2 kids. Bring your own bedding, towels, and linens—think of it as glamping with a side of DIY.
Rustic Cabins (A & B): One-night stays Monday–Thursday (with approval). Two nights on weekends, three for holidays.
No Smoking: Take it outside, unless you want an extra cleaning fee.
Pets: Allowed with a $25 cleaning fee. Leave the cabin filthy or smoky, and we’ll hit you with another fee. The person who booked the cabin is on the hook for damages, so don’t let your cousin Dave go wild.

Refunds: Don’t Expect a Rain Check

No refunds after check-in, for bad weather, rule-breaking, or acting like you’re auditioning for Jersey Shore. The manager/owner has the final say, and they’re not swayed by puppy dog eyes.

Services: For When Nature Calls (or Your Tank Does)

Non-Camper Dump Fee: $25.
Non-Camper Water Fill-Up: $20.
Honey Wagon (Septic Pump-Out):
- Monday–Thursday: $20.
- Emergency Next Day: $35.
- Same Day: $50 (because urgency costs extra).
- All campers need a gate valve—don’t make us explain why.

Parking/Storage: Don’t Turn Our Park into a Junkyard

Winter/Summer Outdoor Storage: $100/month.
Campers/Boats/Trailers: $10/day. Cars: $5/day.

Activities: Free Fun, No Excuses

Mini Golf: Free! Grab equipment at the front desk, but start your game 30 minutes before the office closes or you’ll be golfing in the dark.
Pool: Open 10:00 AM to office closing, Memorial Day to Labor Day. No lifeguard, so kids under 14 need an adult shadow. No running, diving, or WWE moves. Drinks allowed (no glass—don’t be that person).
Cornhole: $20 refundable deposit for bags. Other sports gear is free on the cart outside the pool.
Friday & Saturday Fun (Memorial Day to Labor Day):
- 5:00 PM: Wagon Ride—hold onto your hats!
- 6:00 PM: Candy Bar Bingo—sweet stakes, sweeter wins.
- 9:00 PM: Outdoor Movie (if it’s dark enough).
- Weather or chaos might cancel these, so don’t cry to us if it rains.

Rules: Keep the Peace or Face the Frown

After Dark: Kids under 18 must be at their site unless with an adult. No bike riding—save the Tour de France for daylight.
Quiet Hours: 10:00 PM–8:00 AM. Keep it down unless you want to star in everyone’s grumpy morning story.
Driving: Kids are running wild—drive slow! Speed demons will be banished.
Car Tags: Must be visible, or your car gets a one-way ticket to tow town at your expense.
ATVs/Dirt Bikes/Motorcycles: Driver’s license required, 8:00 AM–10:00 PM only. Stick to the speed limit or you’ll be eating dust in the parking lot.
Campfires: Never leave them unattended. Douse before leaving, sleeping, or checking out. No burning trash or pet waste—$25 fee for scofflaws. Watch your kids around fires unless you want a singed eyebrow story.
No Tree Cutting: Leave the lumberjack vibes at home.
Picnic Tables: Return them to their spot, or pay $20 for our table-retrieval cardio workout.
No Bounce-Houses: Sorry, no inflatable castles.
Golf Carts: Show us $100,000 liability insurance, or you’re walking.

Prohibited: Don’t Even Think About It

No fireworks, water balloons, party poppers, generators, chainsaws, Chinese lanterns, flamethrowers, machine guns, pirate swords, rockets, spacecraft, light sabers, or drones (without permission). Also, no electric car charging—take your Tesla to a gas station (kidding, but seriously, no charging).

Visitor Policy: Don’t Sneak in Your Entourage

Visiting Hours: 9:00 AM–9:00 PM. Register at the office, pay $5/visitor and pick up a vehicle pass. If your site’s already got two vehicles guests will have to park in the overflow lot. No tag? Say hello to the tow truck.
Overnight Guests: Register before the office closes and follow camping rules. Check out by 11:00 AM or face the late fee.
Music: Keep it chill—nobody wants your playlist on blast.
