General information for all sites

We DO NOT allow arrivals after 10:00 pm

Campfires and charcoal grills are only allowed if we are not in a fire ban. Please call for fire ban status, as each area is different. Propane fires and grills are always allowed regardless of fire ban.

Watercraft are included in your stay. Please sign a waiver to enjoy the complete Hidden Lake Experience!

There is only a water hydrant at every other RV site, which means they share water with the site next to them. All hydrants have splitters on them so everyone can hook up to water. You might need a longer hose for this.

Quiet time is 10:00 pm to 7:00 am.

We do not guarantee RV spots unless you lock the site.

We do have off-season rates. April to May 21 and September 12 to October 15.

Office, shower house, laundry room, and restrooms are open May 1 to October 1.

We are open year-round for RV sites.

RUGS ARE NOT ALLOWED ON THE GRASS. They kill the grass and create a muddy mess for the next guest. No exceptions.

Limit of one camping unit per site (tent, pop-up, van, motorhome, etc.): A 2nd vehicle with a second camping unit (including tents) requires a separate, additional campsite.

Limit of six persons per site, including guests. Children under 5 do not count towards person limits.

We do allow extra tent setup at all RV sites.  The tent is limited to one small tent; guest and vehicle limits may not be exceeded, and tents may not encroach on other guests.

Electric vehicle charging is an additional $10 per car per day.  You must unplug your RV before charging your EV.  Failure to do so may cause damage, and any damage to the electrical pedestal will be the guest’s responsibility.

Please be aware of fire pits, sewer connection, water, and electric pedestals. Guests are responsible for any damage to these.
