General Rules
LONG LAKE PARK CAMPGROUND RULES
You are entering an area that may have natural hazards. The hazards could be of many different kinds. Be aware of your surroundings at all times. If you see something that may concern you, please inform the office immediately.
Because of unforeseen power outages, we suggest minimum amounts of perishables, if any, be left in your refrigerator. The campground is not responsible for lost items due to an electrical outage, and we will not call you during or after an outage. It is your responsibility.
If the park staff is asked to provide assistance of any kind while you are away, charges will be discussed and assessed at that time. During season we are very busy and our time is extremely valuable.
PARK STAFF WILL NOT MOVE SHEDS OR DECKS WITH TRACTOR OR ANY OTHER PIECE OF PARK EQUIPMENT, that is the seasonal campers’ responsibility. However, we will assist in moving a camper with the Skid Steer or Tractor if required, with prior approval from Doug or Park Manager.
We reserve the right to refuse entrance to anyone on our properties and facilities, or add / change a rule at any time for the good of the business and/or the safety of our guests.
Respect your fellow campers, their campsite, and their property. DO NOT cross through people’s yards to take a "shortcut". Stay on the roads while walking/riding in the park out of respect for others.
**NEW** The Arcade has been permanently closed.
**NEW** The Arcade building will be turned into an Event Hall during the 2022 Camping Season and will be available to rent once it is complete. Further information to follow.

Those of you who do not have individually metered sites, we will read meters at the start of the season, June 1, July 1, August 1, Sept 1, October 1 and then a final one at the end of October. You pay what you use. Outstanding balances are due by the 15th.
All site care (mowing, weed eating, leaf pickup, keeping the site tidy, woodpiles, etc.) is the responsibility of the seasonal camper. If we must mow, weed eat, or clean your site, there will be a $25.00 charge for each occurrence.
Site alterations are not permitted. This includes tampering with breaker boxes on your power pole and changing or cutting any park pluming (sewer or water). If you have questions, ask Doug or the Park Manager.
Storage sheds and decks must be pre-approved by Doug or the Park Manager. All landscape alterations become property of the park and must remain when you leave.
Prior to any site work, Doug or Park Manager must approve any changes to sites: decks, walkways, sheds, structures, trailer placement, electric or TV dishes.
Prior approval by Doug or Park Manager is required before assembly or delivery of a shed. Size is to be no larger than 8'x8' and only one story and it must be vinyl.
Please do not blow your leaves in the road or on another camp site and leave them. Pick them up and take them to the compost area at the top of the hill. Compost area will be clearly marked with a sign. DO NOT throw non-compostable items into the compost area. DO NOT throw trash of any kind (fruits, veggies, eggshells, etc.) in the compost area as they will attract rodents.
Your trash needs to be taken to the dumpsters during your stay and prior to your departure. There is no trash pickup. If you leave trash on your site after you depart, a $25.00 pickup fee will be assessed.
Do not put any decks, blocks/bricks, furniture, awnings, appliances, grills, lawn mowers in our dumpsters, or any other kind of bulky OR metal trash that is not generated here during your stay. If you have an item that needs to be thrown out and you have questions, please come to the store to discuss.
All non-sewer sites requiring an additional pump out will be charged $25.00 and will only be done if time and staff allow. There are no guarantees! If you are staying at your site and require a normal (not additional) pump out, you are required to stop in the office before you leave the campground to be placed on the list for a pump. Otherwise, we will not check your tank that week.
Firewood is to be stored in a neat and orderly fashion on rack no larger than 8' long 4’ wide and 4' high. Keep amount of wood storage moderate so that the lot looks neat. Animals including snakes, bugs, and bees move into woodpiles that have little or no activity. Pallets must be disassembled and stacked the same day you bring them into the park. Firewood is not to be stacked over 4 feet high or stacked against the electric poles.
Anyone selling their RV/Camper unit in the park can only sell their unit, not their lot. For Sale signs are not to be displayed on the lot, just in camper windows or on the face of the camper. You can also give your information to the office, and we will be happy to post it there.
