Dogs are a great family addition and we welcome them.  Please however, keep in mind those around you are also enjoying their visit and may not want FIDO eating lunch with them, leaving deposits or visiting with their own dog.  
​A few simple rules will help everyone enjoy their time with us.
1. Dogs are to be kept tied and not running at large.  (please use stakes and not trees)
   or have contained in a kennel, camper or on a leash not exceeding 6 ft in length.
2. Be respectful of others if barking becomes prolonged or after quiet hours.   
3. Bring your bag for your doggies treasures....it isn't a lot of fun to step in it, so be mindful of those who will come next.
