All Campground guests must abide by the Campground Rules listed below.

The Owner reserves all rights in the event that any guest violates the Campground Rules, including, without limitation, the right to hold guests liable for damages, and to remove any guests, at the sole discretion of the Owner.

In general: Thank you in advance for the respectful treatment of our forest, its inhabitants, and your Cabin/Campsite. We treat our Venue as a nature preserve. Humans are part of nature, not just visitors. People, trees, flowers, deer, beavers, turtles, tree frogs, and every living thing share an equal right to exist. We trust you will conduct yourselves in the spirit of this ethic.

Throughout your visit, please be aware of your surroundings and stay on the trails.

Steer around:

     •     Poison oak (“leaves of three, let it be”)

     •     Rough-skinned newts (their skin is poisonous, so wash your hands with soap if you touch them)

     •     Wasps/hornets and their nests/hives

     •     Thorny vines and bushes

Health Guidelines: Our Venue follows all county and state health guidance. During this time of COVID-19 risk, guests (and staff) are expected to respect the 6 foot distance rule and limitations for group gathering size, wear face coverings around strangers when required, and wash hands or sanitize often in shared spaces, until such rules are rescinded.

Respectfulness: Please respect all our guests and neighbors.

     •     Daytime sound maximums:

               o     Our Venue is a ‘quiet camp’ from 11PM to 8AM everyday. No amplified sounds (amplified music, etc.) are allowed at these times.

Construction: Please keep clear of any construction areas. Repair and renovation is nearly a continual process for an outdoor venue.

Your Garbage/Recycling:  Please do not litter our forest. Deposit your garbage in the canisters provided around the Campground for garbage and recyclables. The guest is responsible for their own site cleanup and is expected to leave the site in at least as good a condition as they found it upon arrival. Additionally, we ask that you please leave the cabin reasonably tidy when you depart, and don’t forget your personal belongings!

Be very careful about campfires and smoking. There may be local burn bans in place. We adhere to all local burn rules. If you must smoke, do so only near designated fire pits, and please dispose of cigarette butts properly – No Littering. Fires are allowable only in the provided rings and grills and only when county burn conditions permit. Check with Venue/NWEF staff if unsure. Do make sure that when leaving any campfire, it is drowned, stirred, then drowned again. Never leave a campfire unattended. Firewood is available for purchase from the Venue staff, or you may bring your own. Please do not collect deadwood from the forest as it is a necessary part of the natural ecological cycle of a healthy forest.

Pool: The Pool will be shut down for the 2025 season. We understand the disappointment many of our patrons will have from this news, however the age of the pool has finally caught up. The pool will be undergoing a transformation and will become a new type of water feature for your enjoyment in the future.

Canoeing: Canoes are available for use, and life vests must be worn during their use.

Low-Ropes Challenge Course: May only be used with trained Venue/NWEF personnel supervision.

Firearms:  No discharging of firearms, air rifles, BB guns, bows and arrows, crossbows, or slingshots, permitted at any time in the Campground, with the only exception being target archery in the designated archery range with qualified Venue/NWEF staff supervision. No Fireworks will be allowed at any time.

Pets:  We are a pet friendly resort. Please keep your pet on a leash at all times and clean up after them.  Do not leave pets unattended.  Pets are not allowed inside the pool area, office, or Healer’s Cabin. Aggressive pets are not welcome. There is a $10 fee for not cleaning up after your pet.
