Wi-Fi: We have Fiber Optic Wi-fi.  You can
stream movies, surf the Internet, and check your email simultaneously. However,
we ask that you refrain from playing hardcore games. Because so many people

Wi-Fi is available throughout both RV Parks for $13 a day, $49 for 3+ days up
to 7 days, or $149 monthly. Why do we charge? We upgraded from cable to
fiber-optic for greater bandwidth and speed for our RVers.  Since more and
more RVers have their own Wi-Fi, we didn’t want to raise our site prices, so we
only charge those who use the service. 

LAUNDRY/BATHOUSE/OFFICE:  Our laundry room is in
the Office building.  Available times are office hours or by appointment
only. You will need quarters for both washers ($1.75) and dryers ($1.50).

After Labor Day, we offer a linen service ($20 per load to wash/dry/fold).
