Complimentary wifi AT THE COFFEE SHOP ONLY. We also have a dog park, ice and firewood delivery, fishing pond, swings a, and outdoor games and movie nights on weekends. Note that we no longer offer cable.

Why isn’t there cable, and when do you plan on restoring cable service?
We do not intend to restore our cable service in the future, as it is unreliable and expensive.

Wifi is free and not included in your nightly rate. It is not guaranteed at all campsites; however, you are welcome to use our full-service coffee shop during operating hours, where the wifi is strongest.

Can I bring my dog or cat to the campground?
Pets are permitted as long as they are accompanied and leashed. You may NOT leave your dog unattended at your campsite. See our Policies page for information on acceptable breeds, or call ahead if you have questions.
What sort of events does the campground host?
We host events for Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Fourth of July. We also host our annual Bourbon, Bacon and Brew festival in September.
​
Can I bring my own firewood to the campground?
We do not allow outside firewood, as it may carry a variety of non-native insects to our woods. The Department of Natural Resources warns against transporting these pests, as they may severely damage and kill our trees. Local firewood is available to buy at our camp store for $7 per bundle of 8-10 piece.
​
How do I apply my Black Friday coupon or gift certificate to my order when reserving online?
​
Our reservation system always requires a deposit equal to the first night's stay, charged at time of booking. Even if your coupon covers your entire stay, the deposit will be taken out. Your coupon or voucher will be applied at check-in, and the amount of your deposit will be placed on your account as a credit. This credit is fully refundable at check-out if you don't use it during your stay for coffee, wood, or ice.
​
I'm arriving after office hours, is it possible to get a late check-in?
​
You can check in anytime after 2pm. If you arrive after the office is closed, and your have completed our check in process online, your map will be next to the front door of the office. Guests are NOT allowed to proceed to their sites without settling their account, and having a credit card on file.
​
I went back to change something on my reservation and it deleted everything. When I tried to re-book, it says the site is not available. What should I do?
​
Hitting the "back" button on your browser resets your reservation. Because you had previously "locked" the site of your choice while making the reservation, our system locks out that site for about 2 hours to give you more than enough time to complete your reservation. The site will remain locked for 2 hours, but don't worry, it will open back up after that time is up. You can try to reserve again after 2 hours, or simply call our office during office hours and we will be happy to complete the reservation for you.
