RESERVATION CANCELLATIONS
-
Camping is an outdoor experience. We do not give refunds or credits due to the discomfort of nature, early departure or otherwise.
-
Any cancellation made at least 14 days prior to arrival date will result in a 1-night cancellation fee for all sites & rental units.
-
Any cancellation made less than 14 days but at least 7 days prior to arrival date will be entitled to a Beachcomber Camping Credit for a future stay, minus a 1 night cancellation fee for sites, no refund or credit for rental units.
-
Cancellations made less than 7 days prior to arrival date shall receive no refund or credit for either sites or rental units. We are not like a hotel where all rooms are alike & accommodate any size camper. Each site fits different types & sizes of camping units therefore we will need to re-book these sites that we have been holding for you within a small window of time.
VISITORS
-
Maximum of 6 people at the site at any time including visitors.
-
All visitors are charged a fee to enter the park. Why a visitor fee? Excess people, including infants, cause crowds at the lake, pools & activities. These crowds also lead to strains on utilities (water, sewer & electric). *Visitors pay so you, the campers, don’t have to. Visitors must register in the office & obtain a hanging tag prior to entering the park. Please advise your visitors of the Visitor Fee. You may pay for your visitors in advance at the office. Visitors may not bring pets. Your visitors are your responsibility.
-
It is understood that by entering the campground, consent is given to Beachcomber Camping Resort to use any or all photos taken in the campground for promotional purposes without compensation.
-
To provide our campers with a quality camping experience, we are limiting the number of visitors permitted in the park & there is a minimum 2-night stay, except for certain designated theme weekends when in season (Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day Weekend are all 4-night minimums per visitor & per vehicle) or Halloween. We reserve the right at any time to refuse entry of visitors, due to numbers in the park. This keeps amenities open for our Transient and Seasonal campers.

We love electric bikes, but due to safety means they cannot be ridden in the campground (no matter what the setting says on the bike.

SITE REQUESTS
-
Although we do our very best to accommodate your site requests, we can not guarantee a specific site #. We do not want to disappoint our guests if something unforeseen occurs & we have to change your requested site. Therefore we ask you to give us 3 choices when you make your reservation so that we can try to accommodate your request. A reservation guarantees a type of site, not a specific site #. Sorry, we cannot guarantee two or more sites together. You will be given your site number upon check-in. Please understand that many factors are considered in assigning sites: the size of the unit, date reservation was made, duration of stay & desire to keep multi-site reservations close. Those arriving early should not expect park staff to relocate another camper’s site assignment simply because that camper has not yet arrived.
-
We reserve the right to substitute campsites.
