Pine Ridge Campground Rules & Regulations

{{campgroundName}} — {{seasonYear}} Season

Pine Ridge Campground offers a wide range of campsites regardless of your style of camping and equipment. We have established a set of policies and guidelines that help ensure every guest's satisfaction by providing an environment where respect for fellow campers and responsible behavior are the rule, not the exception.

Our goal is to provide a clean, family-oriented campground with friendly service.

Please inform any and all family members of these rules and any guests you may have.

These rules and regulations are designed to protect the comfort, health, and happiness of each camper and their family, and are necessary to maintain a clean and attractive campground we can all enjoy.

Management will not be responsible for loss of property by fire, theft, malicious mischief, acts of God, or acts of any third party, including but not limited to acts of other campers, their families, or their guests. Management assumes no responsibility for accidents, injuries, or loss from any cause.

Pine Ridge Campground reserves the right to add or alter these Rules & Regulations at any time due to unforeseen occurrences in the future.

The campground, management and security reserve the right to enforce all rules and regulations and order the removal of any offenders.

These rules are not open to interpretation. If you would like clarification on any rule, please see management.

Quiet Hours: From 11pm to 8am

After 11:00 PM, a certain level of respect must be given to those who do not wish to stay up late. This is a family and adult campground. If you choose to stay up, please do so quietly. If you choose to be loud, intoxicated, rude, or vulgar, you will be asked to leave the campground if deemed necessary by management.

These rules that follow will be enforced to the max, including immediate eviction!

Visitor and Guest Policy

A visitor is any person who comes to your RV site for any length of time and is not listed on your lease.

• Seasonal site owners must have their guests stop in and register at the office at any time of the day.
• There is no fee for visitors staying during the day, except if your visitor stays after 7:01 PM or to enjoy any entertainment (like our yearly burger bash), utilize the bath house for showers, pool, staying overnight, etc. A fee will apply, as they will be considered a guest of the campground.
• If a guest will be staying past 7:01 PM, the guest must be registered with the office or staff before 7:00 PM.
• Any visitor will be required to register at the office guest book. Guest fee must be paid at registration.
• No guest will be allowed to bring any pets into the campground, unless pre-approved by campground management.
• Please let all visitors & guests know about the rules and regulations supplied in the document.
• The lot lessee is responsible for all visitors & guests at Pine Ridge Campground, and must obey all rules and regulations.
• There will be absolutely no renting or selling of tickets at the campground unless approved by staff (for example: selling Eventbrite tickets, strip tickets, or hosting your own event).

Any site who is having a lot of visitors for cookouts, birthday parties, etc. must receive approval from the office or staff prior to the date of the event. We also ask all sites not to have a lot of visitors on holiday weekends due to the amount of people in the campground. We do this for the safety and comfort of all campers. Over and above these rules, the campground office or staff has the right to refuse any visitors from entering the campground.

All guests are required to register at the office guest book upon arrival. All cars must be registered, and a supplied visitor tag will be issued.

Any guest that is not on your lease, must register at all times. If attending any event or staying past 7:01 PM (if an event is before 7 pm please register your guests 1 hour before the event starts). The cost is $5 per adult (13 or older) & $3 per child. This fee applies to all days of the week, not just weekends or holiday weekends.

Holiday weekend guests are required to register upon arrival, a wrist band will be issued, and a guest fee will be assessed. The cost is $5 per adult (13 or older) & $3 per child per day.

This is a per day fee, not per night. Fee must be paid at check-in. (example. If check-in is on Friday at 5 PM & check-out at 3 PM on Monday, this is a 4 day fee and will be $20 for an adult)

Any guest that has paid the guest fee to stay beyond 7 pm or attend our event but does not have plans on staying the night, must vacate the premises before our quiet time of 11 pm.

Guests who do not pay the guest fee, will not be allowed to attend our events or stay beyond 7 pm.

Guests will park at overflow parking lots only, not at RV sites.

At Pine Ridge Campground we try to be the most fair with guests at the park. We don't charge your guests for day access, or to visit for just a short amount of time during the day. We want you to bring friends and family. All collected guests fees go right back into our entertainment budget for the camping season and our holiday party. Please do your part and register your guests for all to enjoy.

A second offense will require the immediate and permanent removal of the pet from the campground for the remainder of the season, with no exceptions.

We all love our pets, but it is extremely important that all pets be kept on a leash, cleaned up after, and not left unattended — whether walking through the campground or on your own site.

All other campers may only use temporary, portable fencing (such as exercise pens or fold-up panels) which must be taken down and removed from sight any time you leave the campsite — whether for the day, overnight, or for the week. Temporary fencing left unattended at an empty site will be removed by staff. No new permanent fencing of any kind will be approved.

Any pet creating a disturbance or being a nuisance — including but not limited to excessive barking, aggressive behavior, or roaming off-leash — will result in a written warning on the first offense. If a second warning is issued, the pet must be permanently removed from the campground immediately. Management reserves the right to require immediate removal without prior warning if the disturbance is severe.

The campground office or staff reserves the right to deny any pet from entering the campground.

To gain access during the off-season, a courtesy call is recommended to make management aware you will be on the premises, and for access.

If you are a seasonal site lessee, you may come to the campgrounds during the off season to check your belongings or to stay if you would like. Due to township regulations, prolonged stays are prohibited as we are a seasonal campground, and not a year long campground. During the off season, please be aware we are closed for the season and roads will not be plowed for your convenience, and gates may be locked. If extreme winter weather arises, we will NOT plow any roadways.

Pine Ridge Campground recommends all seasonal site tenants winterize their RVs by October 15th, disconnect the water supply, and pump out.

Seasonal Payments

Yearly: A seasonal yearly site camper is deemed as camping on a weekend basis, extended vacations, and occasional weeks, and not to exceed 14 days in any given month or 10 consecutive days. Beginning with the 2027 season, all rent for the season is due on or before April 1st. If rent is not paid by April 1st, a 10% late fee will be applied to the total payment due. Management will move at their discretion any RV where late lot rent is not paid by May 1st, at an expense of the tenant. Tenant will be responsible for 1 month seasonal rate fee, storage fee, & towing fee, and any site deposits from the previous year will be forfeited. A signed Tow & Go Authorization consent document is required.

A renewal deposit for the following year must be made by August 1st of each camping season. If a deposit is not made by this date, we assume your site will not be renewed for the following camping season, and your site must be vacated by September 30th. A seasonal site release form must be signed and electric must be paid before leaving.

If you wish to change your site within the campground, please follow these steps:

• Notification: Notify the campground of your intention to move starting July 1st.
• Fee: Upon notification, you will be charged a fee of $250 and placed on a waiting list.
• Selection Process: In September, the campground will review the waiting list to assign available sites. You must choose an available site or decide to pass at that time, and your fee will be refunded. If you choose a new site, the current rate for that site will apply.
• Refunds: If you remain on the waiting list after all moves are completed and no sites are available, your fee will be refunded. You have the option to apply again the next year.
• Seniority: Please note that seniority does not influence the waiting list or site selection process, as the campground is fully developed and operating at maximum capacity.
