Sewer connections MUST have good seals with absolutely no leaks in the hose apparatus. This is a health and safety hazard. Neglect will not be tolerated. You will be asked to replace the hoses or please leave the park. We also ask that you have all hoses neatly placed so that they are out of the way of lawn maintenance, of which includes elevating your sewer connection. We will not replace sewer hoses that are inadvertently hit by the weed eater due to neglect of your hoses.

FREEZING TEMPERATURE GUIDELINES: If the temperatures are going to be dropping below freezing, we will be turning everyone’s water off AT YOUR CAMPER in prep for the freezing temps. So, if you arrive, and have no water, that’s likely what is going on! Also, if you are leaving for any extended period, please turn your water off. Insulated spigot covers MUST be left in place throughout winter until the last chance of freeze passes in spring.
