Any guest who is found unregistered will be billed to the responsible lot holder and charged double the normal guest fees. The seasonal site holder will be responsible for any unpaid charges incurred during their stay. The maximum occupancy limit for a seasonal site is 6 persons.

Family using Your Trailer:

You must first notify management if a family member is to use your trailer when you are not there, and they will need to pay a reduced lot rate of $25 for the site. Visitors are to stop at the office to register all occupants, pay fees if you have not made prior arrangements, and receive a vehicle pass. This option is not promoted by management. We expect limited usage by other family members and it must be family members only.

VEHICLE INFORMATION

Two vehicles plus one camping unit is the limit on your site. All vehicles must be parked completely on your own site. Any additional vehicles or trailers may need to be parked in off-site parking (see seasonal rate for parking). Any unloading or loading of vehicles needs to be done in the offsite parking area or your campsite, not in the road or on other campsites.

Tune them at the dunes please!

The gate allows one vehicle through at a time. The gate closes automatically after each vehicle.  Note: During the off-season when the gates are no longer functional you are still welcome to come up and check on your trailer.
