All camping fees are due in advance of occupancy. Right to occupy the RV space is contingent upon timely payments and compliance with this agreement and all campground rules. Occupant accepts responsibility to maintain their camping unit, related accessories, and campsite in a neat and clean manner acceptable to the Michigan Department of Health and the owners (Duane & Holly Wolfe, Debbie & David Rogers) of Wolfe Properties, Inc., including the following conditions/criteria: A. Trailer Requirements1. RV must be a manufactured RV, with an RVIA seal. 2. No park models without written permission from Duane. 3. RV must have current license plates 4. Notify owners if you are replacing your unit. We reserve the right to subjectively deny admission for a recreational unit that may not be suitable for our park. B. Site Requirements1. All sites will be inspected periodically. Problems noted must be corrected as soon as possible, but no later than 10 days from the date of the notice. Please keep in mind that the appearance of your site directly affects the business that we have – nobody wants to camp in an unkempt trailer park. Without our overnight campers and canoers we will not have a campground for you to come & enjoy. 2. The following permanent structures (because of tax regulations) are not allowed: decks, awnings, skirting, or fencing. Temporary structures may be erected with permission. 3. Accessory buildings (one per site) will be allowed under the following conditions: they are temporary and movable and small, they consist of one of the approved models, they are maintained and kept in excellent condition, and are used in order to keep your site neater, not as an excuse to collect more stuff. Position them neatly, so that the appearance of your site is pleasing to everyone. 4. Utility Trailers should be for a clear, temporary, purpose. If you need storage, please consider an approved accessory building. 5. Trees must remain clear of clutter, nails, screws & lights. Lights may be put up temporarily for the Christmas in July competition. 6. Accessories and decorations are limited in order to keep sites neat, pleasant, and appealing. We will allow 10 of the following decorations/accessories plus one dock, one grill, and one picnic table: toys, ornaments, birdhouses, thermometers, wind toys, birdfeeders, ornaments, lamps, and other miscellaneous items. 7. Only ONE camping unit is permitted on a site. (The only exception is if you have a small tent that visiting children are using. Please see fees for visitors under the visitors section.) 8. Swings & other playground equipment are not allowed. The camp playground is available to all. 9. You may plant flowers and/or trees, etc. Please dig slowly and carefully to avoid cutting through any water or electric lines. If you aren’t sure where those lines are, ask Duane first.

Exterior refrigerators and other large appliances are not allowed. C. Vehicles 1. Drive slowly. Slowly is less than 10 mph. There is nowhere that you need to be so quickly that it is worth the life of a child walking or playing in the camp. Please plan ahead, and leave early enough that you can obey the speed limit and still get where you need to be on time. 2. Drive only on the roads – do not cross over other sites or the septic field. If you are visiting another camper in the campground, drive on the designated roads and park on their site.

e. Overnight visitors with their own camping unit will need to reserve their own site and pay the regularly published camping rate. The ONLY exception is a small tent for kids 15 & under, which is allowed at no extra charge.
f. Overnight adult visitors staying in your camper (this is allowed only when you are there) are $3 per person, per night. Children (15 & under) are free. 2.

One pet per site. You will be charged a fee of $10, per season, for each additional pet. 3. Never leave your pet unattended. 4. No kennels. 5. Please keep pets out of the playground area. 6.

Season dates/early arrival charges1. The campground is open May 15th – Oct 15th. The seasonal camper season is from May 1st – Oct 15th (weather permitting), but are seasonals are welcome to use the campground after Oct 15th, until Dec 1st as long as they realize that there are no standard services available. The electric will remain on, water can be retrieved from the flowing well, & the dump station or site 15/21 may be used for sewer disposal. 2. Winter storage is from Dec 1st to Apr 30th and is included in the seasonal rate. For non-seasonals the rate is $10 per month. 3. Seasonal campers who arrive between May 1st & May 15th should do the following: a. Please do not expect the water to be turned on. Usually it is, but we do everything weather permitting. b. Please do not expect the honey wagon to be available – it won’t be until at least May 15th. I. Sewer (Honey Wagon) Schedule1. Seasonal rates include 10 free pump-outs per season – 2 each, for the months of May, June, July, August, & September. Additional pump-outs are $15 each and are NOT available after September. Plan ahead! J 2. The honey wagon will be used for seasonal campers on Thursdays & Sundays (or Monday if it’s a holiday weekend). If you want to be pumped on either of those days, you must leave your name in the store at least a day ahead of time. We prefer not to add you in when we are out in the campground. 3. When you know that you are going to have visitors, please figure this into your schedule. An emergency on your part does not constitute one on our part. While we want to help as much as possible, we can only do so much and still be effective. If you have a hard time judging your tank, consider buying a mobile sewer tank so that you can use the dump station when you have an emergency. (Or go to the store and borrow ours). 4. To help adhere to our pumping schedule, please keep in mind that the honey wagon is not a suction type of pump. It does not vacuum anything out of your tank. Gravity is still the main reason your tank is emptied. Because of this, it is not necessary for you to be in your trailer each time that pumping is done. J. Insurance & Liability1. Occupants agree to relieve the owners of any responsibility of “Acts of God”. 2. Occupant understands that the owner is not liable, nor responsible, to carry insurance coverage on occupant’s camping unit, vehicle, or other personal property. K. Solicitation1. Please do not solicit overnight campers. If you have things for sale, please let us post or display something for you in the camp store, we will be happy to direct people to your site. L. Bikes & ORV's
M. Firearms & Fireworks
N. Shoreline – River Sites1. All fill material, however small, on any river site must be in compliance with Section 10/404 of the Rivers & Harbors Act and Clean Water Act. 2. Sites 60-131 ARE on a flood plain, though flooding doesn’t occur every year. Water has covered sites all the way to the playground during four of the last eight seasons. Trailers on these sites have to be moved by December to the upper area of the campground along with everything that is on their site including decks and buildings – that’s why these things have to be temporary and MOVABLE. O. Maintenance1. Sometimes there are things in the campground that you want to fix for us, or help to clean up. We truly appreciate your willing hands! Always ask before you work, it’s important for us to know what is needed in the campground, and sometimes there are things we want done in a certain way. 2. We generally assume that seasonal campers will mow and trim their own sites. If you want our employees to mow and trim your site (even on a temporary basis), please let us know in the store so that we can add it to our maintenance schedule. J P. Money Matters1. Each year there is a non-refundable $50 deposit to hold your site, due by the Sunday of Labor Day Weekend, for the next season. It is very important to get this in on time, since we do have a waiting list for seasonal campers. The deposit is credited to your balance. 2. Payment is due each year by May 1st. 3. If you pay your balance early – before March 1st – you may take 10% off the season rate. 4. If you are asked to leave for breaking any of the rules, or you choose to vacate your site, you will be charged a daily rate of $24 from the date you arrived, or May 1st (whichever is earlier) to the date of eviction or when the site is vacated (whichever is later). If you have a credit greater than that amount, it will be refunded within 30 days of when the trailer is removed. 5. Visitors (for seasonals): See section E. 6. Honey wagon use of more than 2 per month is $15 per pump out. 7. $10 per season for each pet in addition to the first one. Any variance to the above rules is at the discretion of Duane Wolfe, with Holly’s permission. (Or the other way around J) and must be pre-approved. Our goal is to provide a relaxing, enjoyable campground with an atmosphere that honors God, and is pleasant for His people. Thank you for being respectful of these guidelines, we sincerely appreciate having you here! |
