RULES FOR HAPPY CAMPING

Helping ensure everyone has a peaceful, relaxing environment to enjoy.

Gate Security

"Key" Cards are designed to allow only one vehicle to enter the Park. Season Campers are allowed one key card per paid vehicle. Campers may own and register more than 2 vehicles but are only allowed to bring 2 of their vehicles to their site thus no more than 2 gate cards will  be issued per camper. Please do not let in other campers visitors (unless you know them) or anyone else you do don't know with your gate card. It defeats the purpose of having security gates. Plus how do you know that the person who wants in is a welcome or wanted visitor! 

Guests

While there is no charge for weekday day visitors, there are fees for use of the pool,  & overnight guests.Each site is allowed 1 guest vehicle with up to 6 guests. Park residents are responsible to meet their guests at the entrance (for gate entry), for use of our facilities, and for registering them as overnight visitors. Day Visitors to arrive before 8pm and must leave the campground by 11:00pm.

Site Deliveries & Service Work

Campers are must meet and let in delivery or service vehicles. Keys to trailers will not be given to service workers unless pre-arranged!.

Sewage Waste

The valve on your septic holding tank must be kept in a closed position except when dumping. Avoid nasty build-up in your Septic Holding tank by using single-ply toilet tissue & proper "break-up" biological chemicals. Please advise your visitors not to flush anything other than toilet paper.  Dispose of kleenex, any kind of wet wipes, paper towels, diapers, tampons, etc. in the garbage. This is necessary to avoid blockages in your septic tank and or our septic system. 

Alcohol

It is legal to consume alcoholic beverages on one’s own campsite. It is illegal to walk around any public campground with alcoholic beverages. We expect campers to respect this law and we enforce it. .Drunkenness, rowdyism, and profanity will not be tolerated! 

Space Assignment

 

One family & one camping unit allowed per site. Maximum two vehicles per site. Season Campers are responsible for maintaining their lot (ie. cut lawn, keep site neat & tidy) Campers cannot allow any other person(s) to occupy their camping unit without permission from the office. Renting or leasing your unit is not permitted and will not be approved.

Once a season camper vacates their site, everything remaining on the site is the property of Lawson Park Ltd. That includes lawn furniture, BBQ, decking,  tools, plants, trees. Campers have no right to remove anything from a vacated site as it will be considered theft of Lawson Park property. Campers who were reported seen on a vacated site may be considered responsible for any theft that has occurred . 

Drinking Water

We depend on one well for up to 200 campsites plus the washrooms and laundry room. While we have enough water, it's not possible to chlorinate & deliver the water to all campers if we allow excessive use, thus water restrictions. Watering grass or gardens with sprinklers is prohibited. Brief watering of gardens by hand held sprayers is permitted. Campers are only allowed to wash their camping unit once per season. Washing vehicles (using a hose or sprinkler) is strictly prohibited! If you need to wash off bird poop or bugs on your windshield, such you can do so with bucket of water.

Garbage & ReCycling

All garbage is to be disposed of in the industrial bins located at the "Garbage / Recycling Site". Recycling is to be deposited into the provided 'Blue Bins' according to the labels on the bins.
