4.3 Reservation Relocation

The Management Company reserves the right to move a reservation to a comparable site or accommodation when necessary. RV sites and rental accommodations, including tiny homes, are individually owned. An owner’s decisions may affect the resort’s ability to honor a reservation for a particular site or accommodation.

These decisions may include upgrades, maintenance, site reclassification such as adding a dwelling, removal from the rental pool, or owner use. The resort will make every effort to honor the original reservation and provide advance notice when relocation is necessary.

Guests must follow resort guidelines, staff instructions, and local regulations. Parents and legal guardians are responsible for supervising minors and ensuring their proper conduct at all times.

Service animals are permitted in all rental units, including those not designated as pet-friendly. Service animals are exempt from pet fees, and no service-animal certification is required.

When outside, pets must be leashed at all times on a leash no longer than six feet. Pets may not be tethered to utility fixtures, picnic tables, or trees. Pet kennels are prohibited outside rental properties and RVs.

Temporary pet fencing is permitted if it remains entirely within the rented site and does not encroach on neighboring sites or common areas. Fencing must be lightweight, movable, easily removable, and capable of securely containing pets. Owners must remain on-site whenever their pets are in the enclosure. Pets may not be left unattended.

Guests are responsible for their pets’ behavior and safety. Management may require the removal of fencing that it considers unsafe, inappropriate, or disruptive.

The resort cannot accommodate mail or package delivery to individual sites. Extended-stay guests should arrange to receive mail and packages off-site. The reservations team can recommend nearby PO boxes or UPS stores.

5.7 Guest Code of Conduct

The following requirements support a safe, respectful, and enjoyable environment for guests, staff, and property owners. Violations may result in immediate action, including removal from the property and law enforcement involvement when necessary.

Respectful and Responsible Behavior

Guests must treat staff, other guests, and property owners respectfully. Aggression, hostility, offensive language, inappropriate behavior, and verbal, physical, or written harassment are prohibited. Physical contact with staff is not permitted under any circumstances and will be treated as a serious violation.

Guests must avoid disruptive, unsafe, offensive, or illegal behavior. Excessive intoxication that leads to verbal altercations, property damage, harassment, or danger to others will not be tolerated. Prohibited conduct includes profanity, threats, intimidation, deceit, and illegal activities such as drug use, theft, or vandalism.

Staff may intervene immediately when safety or property is at risk. Actions may include removal from the premises, notification of law enforcement, or termination of the stay without a refund.

Compliance with Resort Policies

Guests must follow all resort rules, including quiet hours, pet policies, amenity use, parking, and safety requirements. Damage must be reported, and guests are responsible for repair costs. Charges may be applied without prior notice. Violations may result in warnings, restricted access, fines, removal without a refund, or law enforcement involvement.

Reporting and Resolution

Concerns and complaints must be reported promptly to Guest Services at the front desk through the appropriate communication channels. Guests must address concerns professionally and may not escalate issues through uninvolved staff or third parties.

Refusal to follow staff instructions, established procedures, or this Code of Conduct will result in immediate action. This may include removal from the property or notification of law enforcement if the behavior poses a safety risk or violates applicable law.

Commitment to Enjoyment

The resort is committed to a safe and welcoming environment. Following this Code of Conduct helps preserve a positive experience for guests, staff, and property owners.

Drone Policy

Drones and other unmanned aerial vehicles may not be used anywhere on resort property without prior written authorization from management. This restriction applies to recreational, commercial, and photography-related use. Unauthorized operation may result in immediate removal from the property without a refund, and local authorities may be notified when necessary.

5.8 Electrical Safety

Electrical pedestals are reserved exclusively for powering the RV occupying the site. Only the RV’s power connection, including an RV surge protector, may be plugged into the pedestal. No other vehicles, appliances, devices, or equipment may be connected to the pedestal. Charging an electric vehicle (EV) using pedestal power is prohibited, whether connected directly or through an adapter, extension cord, or the RV’s electrical system.

Guests must turn the pedestal breaker OFF before plugging in or unplugging an RV power cord. Connecting or disconnecting while the breaker is on can cause electrical arcing and damage the outlet, pedestal, surge protector, or RV cord. Once the cord is securely connected, the breaker may be turned back ON.

For assistance with a pedestal or electrical connection, contact the resort office during business hours. For urgent electrical issues after hours, call emergency maintenance.

5.9 Unattended RVs

RV sites are intended for active guest stays and may not be used solely for storage. An RV may not remain unattended for more than seven (7) consecutive days without prior written approval from the General Manager. Guests planning an absence longer than seven days must obtain this approval before departing.

All RVs must remain insured, properly registered, and operational. Within twelve (12) hours after the RV owner receives notice to move the RV, it must be ready to be driven or transported on public roads. This requirement applies throughout the stay, including during any approved absence.

Before an extended absence is approved, the guest and the RV owner, if different, must sign an Unattended RV Authorization and Acknowledgment. The document must:

Management may also require a working spare key or access code as a condition of approval. Approval applies only to the dates and conditions stated in writing. It does not extend the reservation or guarantee continued availability of the assigned site. Changes to the approved absence require further written approval from the General Manager. Approval may be modified or revoked at any time in the resort’s sole discretion, subject to applicable law.

If management determines that action is necessary for safety, security, weather, maintenance, utility work, operational needs, property access, or legal or regulatory requirements, or because the reservation has expired or the site owner has made the site unavailable, the resort may enter, secure, relocate, tow, or remove the RV at the RV owner’s risk and expense. All such actions and related charges must comply with applicable law, including required notices. Where immediate action is necessary, the resort may act without further notice to the extent permitted by law.

Responsibility for the RV’s care remains with the guest and RV owner. Approval does not include monitoring, maintenance, security, or caretaking services by the resort team. Guests remain responsible for all fees, costs, and damages arising from an unattended RV and agree to indemnify and hold harmless the resort, its owners, employees, and agents to the fullest extent permitted by law.

The resort assumes no responsibility or bailment for loss, theft, damage, weather effects, utility disruptions, towing or relocation damage, or other conditions affecting an unattended RV, except where prohibited by law.

An unapproved absence or failure to return or remove the RV as agreed violates this Agreement and may result in termination of the stay and lawful removal at the RV owner’s expense.

5.10 Services for Guest-Owned Property

Resort staff are not permitted to enter or perform maintenance, repairs, or other service work on guests’ personal RVs, vehicles, boats, jet skis, or other personal property. These services are not provided by the on-site resort team.

The on-site team can help locate local vendors. Guests are responsible for selecting a service provider, arranging the work, and paying for any services.

This restriction does not prevent emergency action or RV entry, securing, relocation, or removal authorized under this Agreement and permitted by law.

6. Facility Use

6.5 Boat and Jet Ski Trailers

Parking for boat trailers, jet ski trailers, and similar watercraft trailers is subject to availability. Trailers may be parked on the assigned site only if they fit entirely within its boundaries and do not cross the red line at the site’s edge.

Trailers may not obstruct roads, neighboring sites, utilities, common areas, boat ramps, docks, slips, or access points. A trailer that cannot be safely accommodated on the assigned site must be parked in a designated trailer parking area, if available. If no designated parking is available, the trailer may need to be parked off-site at the trailer owner’s expense.

RV sites, rental sites, and other guest accommodations may not be reserved or used solely to park or store a boat, jet ski, trailer, or other equipment. Sites are intended for active guest stays. The resort does not guarantee parking for boat trailers, jet ski trailers, or similar equipment.
