We also allow you to park ONE vehicle on the site. We provide free parking in our visitors lot for a second vehicle. PLEASE DO NOT PARK ON THE GRASS as it damages it. We are situated on a clay/sand bed so the ground is soft and it is very easy to make ruts in the grass.

There is a free dump station for our registered guests and a mobile pumping service for a fee of $15.00 (tax included). During peak hours, assistance is available for pumping at the dump station. Stay five or more nights and get one FREE on-site pump out.
