Generator Use

QUIET GENERATORS ONLY

 Our Previous Rules (2021-2023)

As many guests know, we are a new campground to the area. In our first year, we had no electric service to our then 40 sites. By our second year, we added 5 electric sites of 45 sites, and as of 2023, we offer 25 of the total 60 sites with 30-amp electric.

As we expand our amenities, we are modifying our rules to better serve our guests.

New Regulations (2024 Season)

In years past, we have allowed generators to run 24/7. We understand that the use of generators may be a necessary part of camping for some guests, and a nuisance for others. We have chosen to allow generators for convenience and safety to our guests that require electronic medical devices, air conditioning/heat, and other amenities overnight. The 24/7 rule WILL remain in the 2024 season for this reason, but we will be enforcing a noise level limit.

QUIET generators of 60 dB(A) max. at 5 feet will permitted in our campground. We will enforce this rule with a noise level meter at 5FT if we believe your generator exceeds the 60 dB(A) limit. Please check PRIOR to your visit that your generator is UNDER 60 dB(A) limit. If your equipment is found to be above this limit, you will be required to turn off the unit for the remainder of your stay.

Please be Courteous

We strive to make all guests comfortable during their stay. We wish to allow all guests with the need for power to use generators on non-electric sites, while still remaining courteous of their neighbors. Here are a few tips to help us all have a great stay:

  • Keep your generator close to your own campsite. The further away the generator is from others, the less noise it will make for them. Try to place your generator closer to your own equipment to help reduce the noise level for others around you.
  • Use a sound barrier. Try using a sound barrier to help reduce the noise. A sound barrier can be anything that will block or absorb noise, such as a tarp, blankets, or other object between your generator and your neighbor.
  • Turn off the generator when not in use. If you’re not using the generator, there’s no need to keep it running. Turning it off will help reduce the noise level for you and other campers.
  • Upgrade to an electric site. We offer 25 electric sites in our campground. Please consider upgrading to an electric site if available, and there will be no need to run a generator at all!
