Campground Etiquette

Do your part to make sure everyone has a safe and enjoyable camping experience.

Pets · Many family pets do not seem to enjoy the camping experience nearly as much as their humans. The unfamiliarity and confusion of a busy campground and being constantly on a leash seem to upset some animals. Excessive noise and not cleaning up after pets leads to many complaints from other campers. Campers are responsible for their pets at all times. Do not leave them unattended. Pets must be on a leash 6 feet or less, in length.

Tables · Each site is outfitted with one picnic table. Borrowing tables from other sites is not allowed and creates discord when they must be retrieved for the site from which they were taken.

http://www.state.in.us/dnr/parklake/camping.html (3 of 7) [7/19/2002 12:04:26 PM] Indiana's State Parks & Reservoirs - Parks

Vehicles · Reducing congestion and visitor safety are the reasons for the "one mode of transportation per site" rule.

Alcohol · is strictly forbidden at Indiana Dunes State Park and in all youth camps. At other properties, both daily visitors and campers are asked to be responsible when drinking alcohol. Possession of alcohol by persons under the age of 21 is against the law in Indiana; and this will be enforced.

Quiet Hours · are from 11 p.m. until 6 a.m. At night, voices carry so moderation is essential.

Check-out time · is 2 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 5 p.m. on Sunday and holidays. If you plan to renew your registration, please do so by 10 a.m.

Nails and wires · for suspending lanterns and patio lights can cause serious damage to trees. Burn damage permanently scars or kills trees.

Fires and Firewood · Fires may be built only in the fire rings provided. Collecting firewood in state parks is prohibited. Firewood is for sale at the park concession or campground store.

Reservations

Reservations: Except as noted below, all campsites are available "first-come first-served" prior to Memorial Day weekend. Beginning Memoral Day weekend through Labor Day, fifty percent of most campsites may be reserved for up to 14 nights.

Reservations are not accepted at Charlestown, Harmonie, Shades, Summit Lake and Tippecanoe River state parks; at Huntington and Salamonie lakes.

Holiday Minimum Stay For 2002 holiday weekends the following dates must be reserved: Memorial Day - May 24, 25, 26 (Fri., Sat., Sun.); Labor Day - Aug. 30, 31, Sept. 1 (Fri., Sat., Sun.).

● Brookville, Cagles Mill (Lieber SRA), Mississinewa, Monroe and Patoka lakes will accept reservations for 2002 Memoral Day and Labor Day weekends only. ● Deam Lake SRA and Wyandotte Woods SRA are the only state forest properties which accept reservations. ● Brown County, McCormick's Creek, Potato Creek and Spring Mill state parks continue to take reservations through October. Vesailles State Park takes reservations until Labor Day and then again for September 27-28 and October 4-5, 2002. ● Turkey Run State Park takes reservations for the weekend of May 26 through the conclusion of the Covered Bridge Festival (October 20, 2002). ● Cecil M. Harden (Raccoon Lake SRA) takes reservations from the weekend of May 26 until Labor Day and then again from October 11 through the conclusion of the Covered Bridge Festival (October 20, 2002).

Mail reservation requests ON or After March 1. Most holidays and many weekends fill up early. In the interest of fairness, requests postmarked prior to March 1 will either be returned if time permits or will be held and processed after all others that were received with a postmark of March 1. In other words, to avoid being penalized for sending your request too early, do not mail your letter before March 1, 2002!

http://www.state.in.us/dnr/parklake/camping.html (4 of 7) [7/19/2002 12:04:26 PM] Indiana's State Parks & Reservoirs - Parks

All reservations received with a March 1 or later postmark will be opened, processed, and confirmed by return mail. Because of the large number of reservations usually received in early March, please allow 4-6 weeks for processing of your request. Beginning in May, reservation requests should be sent at least two weeks prior to the desired camping date to allow time for confirmation by return mail.

In Person (walk-in) reservations will be allowed beginning March 1. However, walk-in reservations have no advantage over mailed requests. This policy is established to make the reservation process as fair as possible for all campers, including those that cannot easily drive to a state park to make reservations. Walk-in reservations will be held and processed along with the next business day's mail; therefore, they must be paid by check or money order only (no cash). Sorry, but we cannot handle telephone reservations.

Set-Up may begin after check out time on the first day and the site must be clear by check out on the last day, except Sunday or Monday of a holiday weekend, when you may stay until 5:00 p.m. Campers are requested to renew sites by 10:00 a.m. Campgrounds are closed at 11 p.m., and no set-up of campsites may occur after midnight. Generators or other similar equipment which produce noise may only be operated from 6 a.m. until 11:00 p.m.

Length of stay · Maximum length of stay is 14 consecutive nights. A minimum of Friday and Saturday, or Saturday and Sunday is required for weekend reservations. You must arrive by 2 p.m. on the second day of your reservation or your reserved site will be cancelled.

Number of people/tents/vehicles per site · Six people is the maximum number allowed at a campsite. Each site may have two tents or one camper and one small tent. Vehicles will be limited to either 1 or 2 per site depending upon the property. Additional vehicles must be parked in designated campground parking lots.

Age of campers · At least one person at the campsite must be 18 years old. The responsible party registering for the campsite shall remain at the site for the entire stay, except at Clifty, Indiana Dunes and Pokagon state parks where one person must be at least 21 years old.

Visitors To your site · Day visitors are welcome. They must park in the campground parking lot and may walk to your campsite. Campground hours are 7:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. each day. Most campgrounds have a gatehouse to provide security and traffic control during the summer camping season.

Accessibility for the disabled · To get specific information about accessibility, it is best to contact the property manager at the facility you wish to visit.

Firewood · Collecting firewood or cutting down standing trees is not permitted in state parks and recreation areas. You can purchase firewood in most state parks and reservoirs

Transfers · We are sorry, but we cannot give refunds for unused days. Reservations are transferable to other people or to other dates with seven days prior notice. Reservations may not be transferred to dates outside the reservation season at property requested.

Disclaimer: Fees, operating hours and other details may change during the year. Swimming pools and beaches may close toward when lifeguards are unavailable. Many beaches will remain open, however, some may be unguarded allowing patrons to swim at their own risk. Some services may not be available if the State's fiscal condition does not improve.

Group Camps http://www.state.in.us/dnr/parklake/camping.html (5 of 7) [7/19/2002 12:04:26 PM] Indiana's State Parks & Reservoirs - Parks

One legacy of the Civilian Conservation Corps movement in Indiana endures through Group Camps at six Indiana State Parks. In addition, a newer facility is available at Wyandotte Woods SRA. Although each site is unique, all offer sleeping quarters with cots or bunks but no linens. Most have a kitchen and dining hall with dishes/utensils and a shower-restroom facility. All operate through the summer; some also have limited winter usage available at reduced rates. (A damage deposit or an advance payment on the rental fee will be required, also sales tax is added unless group is exempt.) For more information on group camps, contact the property manager.

The full amount of rental is due (if not pre-paid) upon arrival. If the deposit was classified as a damage deposit, it will be refunded following checkout.

Reservations made by telephone are given preference. If made by telephone, we must receive a reservation fee within seven calender days of making the call to confirm your reservations or the shelter will be made available to the next requestor. We are not responsible for postal service delays. We highly recommend use of a credit card for this reason.
