Family camping is a great way to build memories of "quality time."
Camping is a lot of fun, but please keep in mind that good manners are as important in the outdoors as anywhere else.
Please keep in mind that quiet hours are from 10:00 pm to 6:00 am. Others want to sleep for their big day floating or may have children who go to bed early. Please respect your neighbors.
Please DO NOT BRING FIREWOOD! Moving firewood around the country helps spread forest pests like the Emerald Ash Borer and Gypsy Moth. You can gather any dead and down wood around the park, or buy local firewood at roadside stands, stores, or canoe rentals. (Don't take it home with you, either.)
Keep a clean camp; small critters like skunks, crows, and raccoons will certainly visit you, looking for a handout. Be prepared to keep your food and garbage either in a vehicle or hanging up high. Otherwise, you may wake up to a mess and no breakfast!
We have bears in the area; they haven't been a problem yet, and we want to keep it that way. Please help by not making it easy for them to steal food or garbage.
