General Policies
- We want everyone to enjoy their stay at Inn Town Campground. With that in mind, please follow our guidelines to basic Campground Etiquette.
- Generators are not permitted at the Inn Town Campground, so if you need juice for your equipment, consider renting an RV site with power.
- Our facilities make for a great experience for our campers and we often have campers who have friends or family in the area. Keep in mind that only campers can use our facilities, so if your brother or uncle Jimmy wants to come swimming, consider renting him a site so he can join in and not be disappointed. Click here for information if you want to have guests visit your site.
- Although we think sticks, bugs, rocks and fellow campers offer plenty of entertainment, you may want to listen to music or watch outdoor TVs at your site. Please keep in mind that your neighbors may not want to listen in, so keep programming and volume appropriate so that it does not disturb neighboring campers. We also ask that you not play music or videos in any of the communal areas.
- Our quiet hours are from 9:00 PM to 8:00 AM. Please limit sound and light to your own site during this time. This can be really hard for city dwellers who are accustomed to a lot of ambient noise and light. Seriously, you may have to whisper to keep your voice quiet enough at night. We strictly enforce these hours so all campers can enjoy their stay.
- If you have a reservation, you may arrive and check – in between 3pm and 10pm. Check – out is 11am. Please plan your travels accordingly so you’re not disappointed if we can’t accommodate you early or late.
- If you do not have a reservation, we only accept walk-ins / roll-ups until 8pm for tent and RV sites. Glamping tents must be booked prior to arrival if you plan on arriving after the office closes.
- Please only setup shop in the site you reserve. All of our sites are individually booked so you can choose the spot that works best for you. But that means you have to stick to the site you book unless we can accommodate you otherwise upon arrival.
- You’re coming camping in nature. There are trees, bugs, plants, heat, smoke, rain, sun, wind, pollen and a whole host of other natural phenomenon that we can’t control. It might be hot…or cold…or both. Use your best judgment to weigh the awesome benefits of being outside here vs. the possible close encounters of the natural kind you might experience. Be prepared and take into account our Cancellation and Change policies as you plan your adventure.
- Although we’re proud of the place we have created and think everyone will have a great time, we do reserve the right to refuse service to anyone and will not be responsible for accidents, injuries or loss of property of any kind. Keep your stuff secure, be aware of your environment, be a good steward of the forest. By making this reservation you acknowledge and agree to these terms.

(1) failed to pay his/her occupancy in the park
