COVID-19 Modifications
Be a responsible camper: We always ask campers to observe good campground etiquette, but it’s especially important this year. Aside from following the normal rules, here are some things you can do to keep yourself and others safe:
- Your health & safety is your responsibility, act accordingly.
- Bring your own masks, hand sanitizer, and wipes so you can maintain good hygiene both in camp and out and about.
- Don’t come camping if you or your family are feeling sick. See our modified policy for summer 2020 to help alleviate some concerns around traveling while sick.
- Wash and sanitize your hands often, remind your kids to do the same.
- Maintain distance from people not in your camping party. Camping is social, just make it socially responsible.
- Don’t congregate in sites. Public health mandates require us to limit site occupants to 1 household or social bubble. Please do not exceed the occupancy of your site, even with campers from another site.
- Wear a mask while in the restroom, camp store or walking around town. Confined spaces can host the greatest concentration of virus, but wearing a mask helps a lot – please do your part to help.
Camp will be much more socially distant. Here are some changes you will notice:
-
- Our camp store will initially be closed until we develop a safe operating plan. Although we will not have “office” hours, we will have staff on site to help in whatever way we can. Check out our new messaging service via CampersApp.
- Communal spaces inside The Commons will be closed for this season, but our dishwashing stations at each bathroom will be open, so please plan and pack you’re your own food prep equipment accordingly.
- Our communal fire pits will also be closed for this season. Fortunately, we still have individual fire pits for rent. The cost is $30 and includes one bottle of propane and a fire pit for the length of your visit.
- The pool will be open no later than June 27th, but it will have modified operations to limit capacity. Please follow the guidelines provided at the pool.
- We plan on having movies, but you’ll need to bring your own chair and make sure your group sits at least 6’ apart from others.
- Our ping pong and foosball table will not be available due to high-touch sanitation concerns.
- All of our outdoor walking and hiking spots are still open and provide a great way to be socially distant in nature.
- Check-in and check-out will be remote, all reservations need to be made prior to arrival.
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. Please note for the 2020 season we will not be allowing any visitors to campsites due to COVID-19 guidelines.
- 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.
- 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 5pm for tent and RV sites. Please call, as our socially distant self check-in process will modify operations for 2020.
- 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.
