Staff – Introductions….
Our staff is here to help us make your visit enjoyable, they have been
instructed by Mary and I as to their duties.
Mom & Dad - Welcome as new neighbors Frank
& Dolores
Annual deposit for upcoming lot renewal –
Bills will be sent 90 days prior to your renewal date. $75 advance payment…
Helps us manage for lot availability. Balance then due your anniversary
month.

Electric Bills - Meters are read last day of
month. Will email bill…(need updated email address…see Mary. If no email
address beginning of month please check and pay at office. Electric
bills are due by 10th of month basically.
Entering the campground – Please make a
“complete” stop when entering the campground. This gives us an opportunity
to recognize who is entering and will also help you slow down in the
campground. We need you to drive slowly for everyone’s safety. We have
also found that slower driving causes less dust and wear on our gravel
roads. When you leave the campground, please use the exit road. Again this
is for safety and will cause less congestion at the entrance.
We have one entrance and one exit to the campground,
You may NOT access the campground (to or from) the house next door.
In the event that the entrance is blocked by a
vehicle, please be patient, we will get them moving along as soon as
possible. Keep this in mind if you need to stop to get Ice or talk to
other guests.
5 ½ mile speed limit---Please inform your guests.
The speed limit also INCLUDES GOLF CARTS! Please do not hesitate to ask
someone to slow down, but do not argue with them, simply suggest that they
talk to Dale….
Trees – Trees are an asset to our campground,
you are not allowed to nail or screw to any tree. When a tree is
punctured, it causes the tree to die. We also ask that you use a bungee
cord or “Loose” fitting rope when hanging anything to a traa. If we feel
your attachment is endangering the tree, we will remove it. We have also
been clearing out dead and dying trees. We are attempting to do so without
having to move any campers, but, there may be a few that have to be moved
to drop limbs (or the tree)
Trash – Please place all your trash inside a
dumpster, if the dumpster is full, please take the trash to the dumpster
by the exit road. We also ask that you break down cardboard boxes to
utilize the space in the dumpsters. You should check with Dale when you
have items that will not fit in the dumpster. The Disposal service will
NOT take tires, lawn mowers or hazardous materials.
We would also appreciate your assistance in picking
up trash you find on the campground.
Clean up – Please keep your campsites “clean”,
do not leave any trash in your fire pits. Do not accumulate materials or
supplies on your campsite. We appreciate everyone’s help in keeping the
grounds clean, neat and orderly. Trailer washing is only allowed during
the week or low usage times.
Sewer Connections – Sewer connections should
be sealed, if using the sewer hose, use a rubber grommet. If you hard pipe
your trailer (recommended) a 3” elbow will fit snuggly into the 4” ground
inlet.
Water Connections – If you place a splitter on
your water supply you need to install a vacuum breaker valve leading to
the hose not connected to the camper. This is required by the State
Department of Health.
Standing Water – We have been asked by the
Indiana State Department of Health to eliminate items that hold water.
This means, no buckets, pans, glasses or other objects that will hold
water. Standing water is the number one cause of mosquito
development.
Picnic Tables –
Please do not leave picnic table covers on the
tables. It’s okay to use them, but remove them before you leave for the
weekend. We have found that the table cloths retain moisture and will rot
the tops out faster.
DOOR PRIZES
Sheds – All sheds MUST be approved PRIOR to
placing them on your campsite. No sheds will be allowed larger than 4 ft x
6 ft providing there is enough room on your site. Current shed owners will
be considered “grand-fathered in” but keep in mind when you relinquish
your site, the shed must be removed from the campground.
Tents - Tents are not allowed on seasonal
campsites. Since our service lines cable, telephone, water, electric and
septic lines are through out sites, we do not allow tents to be put on
seasonal sites.
Glass – Glass bottles – please refrain from
bringing glass bottles to the campground. We will continue to enforce our
policy of “No Glass Bottles” in the rec room and will continue to
discourage glass bottles on the property. State rules and regulations do
NOT allow any glass containers in the swimming pool. A single broken glass
bottle cause injury to a guest or damage to our equipment.
Pool -
1. Toddlers are required to wear Swimmers.
2. No Alcoholic Beverages at the pool.
3. Children under 14 MUST be accompanied by an Adult (over
18).
4. No diving, running or horse play at the pool, violators
will be asked to leave the pool area.
5. No swimming alone.
Decks – We allow decks to be built at your own
expense. We do not allow them to be inserted into the ground and ask that
they are made mo larger than 4 x 8 sections so they can be moved easily.
Also keep them above the ground to allow air flow and to keep animals from
making it their home.
Golf cart regs. – Golf carts are a
privilege, not a right. Do NOT Drive drunk! You may lose your
golf cart privilege! Golf cart operation requires a licensed driver in the
front seat. Use ramp in front of house for golf carts only. 12 PM curfew,
10 PM curfew for loud golf carts. No driving after dark without lights,
stay on the gravel roads where ever possible, Golf carts MUST be
maintained. All golf cart owners must provide us with “proof of insurance”
before they will be allowed to be driven in the campground.
We reserve the right to revoke or limit golf cart use
in the campground. Pedestrians and other vehicles have the right of way!
Revocation will occur if we get complaints of excessive speed, driving
dangerously, catch golf carts operating with more than the golf cart
seating allows or carts being driven without a licensed driver in the
front seat.
The GOLF CART OWNER is responsible for their golf
cart! Do not allow anyone to operate your golf cart without advising them
of the rules or YOU may be asked to remove the golf cart from the
campground.

Messages- We only deliver EMERGENCY messages.
We do NOT deliver messages to campsites, we will post messages on the
registration office window or bulletin board, and it is up to you to check
for them.
Boat ramp/fishing parking,
Do Not park to the East (right) of the boat ramp as
this is an area we use for public access to the Banks. Park in the grass
area across the boat ramp and sites 215 to 219.
We do not recommend that boats are left unattended in
the Wabash River. Over the past few years we have had an occasional items
disappear. Protect YOUR property!
De-Trash the Wabash – The Banks of the Wabash
organization has initiated the De-trash the Wabash campaign, whether you
are out boating or just fishing, please carry up “all” your trash. Do not
discard anything into the river, actually if you are out, help keep the
river clean and pick up any trash that you may find and feel free to use
our dumpster upon your return.
Vandalism – Any act of vandalism in the campground
will result in disciplinary action up to and including termination of your
lease agreement. This also applies to the actions of your guests.
Boat storage/mowing –
Please fill out the form to let us
know what boat is yours. (form on table)
Boats
may be parked along the southwest corner
of the campground. Boat owners are responsible for mowing around their
boats while in a storage area. If we have to move a boat trailer to mow,
the trailer will be placed on YOUR campsite.
River Access – We do not allow people to enter our
property from the river. If you see a non-camper entering the campground
from the river, please let Mary or I know asap. It is not fair to our
paying guests when non campers access our property and also is a major
concern for safety and theft.
DOOR PRIZES
Overflow Parking – Park vehicles on your
campsite whenever possible. Overflow parking is available in front of the
rec. bldg, By the fence behind the rec. room, on the grass (close to the
road) by the pavilion, in the electric only section (by the fence on the
main drive and along the back hill on both sides), near the back of the
pool grass along the back by site 18, DO NOT PARK VEHICLES in empty
campsites.
Excessive drunkenness will not be tolerated,
If “we” feel that you are drunk, we
reserve the right to restrict you to YOUR own campsite. Failure to comply
or arguing will terminate your lease and you will be required to leave the
campground.
Problems – We ask that you report any problems
to the office. If you have a problem with another camper or visitor, we
need to know about it and will handle the situation accordingly.
Lease Termination – If a campsite is vacated
for 30 days or longer, the lease will be considered “terminated” unless
prior notification is given to us.
In the event that your campsite lease is terminated,
either by yourself or by the campground, NO REFUNDS will be made in whole
or part.
Also, sites MUST be cleared of ALL objects upon
termination of the lease or you will be invoiced for the time it takes us
to clean up the site. (i.e... Decks, trash and any other personal items)
Loud music is NOT allowed. Please be
considerate of the other campers.
Quiet time is “enforced” from 11:00
PM to 7:00 AM. Please respect the other campers and keep voices down and music
off.
Pets – All pets are required to be kept on a
leash during peek periods. Do NOT chain or tie your dog to a tree or leave
your pet unattended outside your camper if you leave the campground. Also
clean up after your pet.
Visitors, registered visitors will have a
visitor tag, If your guest does NOT have a tag, we ask that you direct
them back to the office to get one. We will approach YOU, our seasonal
camper, first, in the event that we discover a vehicle without a tag.
All visitors are required to pay the guest fee
regardless of how long they are planning on staying. We will, however,
refund the fee if they leave within 20 minutes. THEY MUST tell the
registration office so the tags can be marked with an entry time. If no
time is written on the pass (by WLTC) then no refund will be given.
No bike riding after dark. Please ask your
children to also watch their speed around the campground entrance,
recreation building and other campers. Again, we want them to have fun,
but also want them to be safe!
Fire Pits & ashes. DO NOT MOVE YOUR FIRE PIT!
Ashes are to be bagged and placed in a dumpster or back burn pile to the
right side. DO NOT dump ashes by trees, in the weeds along the road. A
fine of $10.00 will be imposed for any campsites that do not dispose of
the ashes as listed above. You May NOT burn pallets, treated
lumber, plastic, cans or glass and we recommend that you do not burn any
wood with nails or screws. You may NOT pull wood from the campground or
adjoining properties.
And, last but by far least, do not throw trash into your fire pit. Fire
pits are to be cleared prior to leaving the campground.
Bathrooms – New ceramic tile floor men’s
room….women’s room coming soon! We try to monitor the restrooms and porta-potties
to keep them clean, your assistance is helpful. We request that you help
keep the restrooms clean. If you notice anything that needs attention, let
us know.
Please tell your children NOT to stand on the seats.
Also, the bathrooms are NOT a play house, do your duties and leave the
room. DO NOT LOITER in the restrooms.

Private Property
Our campground is private property as is the
surrounding properties. Please respect our neighbor’s requests of NO
Trespassing. The Wabash offers NO easement from the waters edge. Please
respect the property owners rights of No Trespassing. Be sure to carry out
any trash you accumulate (or retrieve) while boating and deposit it into a
trash dumpster here on the property.
I know we covered a lot of material today, but in
essence, be courteous, drive slow and help keep the campground and
enjoyable environment for all our guests.

for the season, if anyone has any new ideas, let us know. (Well, let Mary
