($1.50).  Please leave the washer door open after each wash and clean the
dryer.   Clotheslines are prohibited.  If you need to use the
restroom or laundry facilities at night, please notify us so we can provide you

can only be purchased during office hours.

at the discounted rate, you will be responsible for the metered electricity at
each site. To ensure a quick departure, we will charge your card and send you a
receipt for the electricity used. Renters who stay 30 days or more will receive
an electric bill invoice, which will be sent out by the 6th. Electric bills are
due by the 15th; a $15 late fee will be applied. You can then be on your way
quickly; we will charge your card and send you a receipt for the electricity
used.  We encourage you to take meter readings upon arrival and
just before departure for your records. For sites that are not
metered, a charge of $5 per day will be applied in advance.

sites are only for RV’s and the number of vehicles they can accommodate. When
occupied, a maximum of 2 vehicles per site is allowed, provided the site can
accommodate 2. All other vehicles, trailers, or boats and trailers must
be parked in storage areas and overflow parking.
