SWIMMING: Each year the campground makes every effort to provide safe swimming opportunities by testing the water and by keeping the swimming areas staffed with lifeguards. Swimming cannot be a guaranteed activity, therefore we cannot offer refunds on camping stays. We apologize for this inconvenience as it may occur with little advance notice.
