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.

- 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 at night. We strictly enforce these hours so all campers can enjoy their stay.

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.
