Lone Pine Campsites 2008 Rules
Lone Pine Campsites are for campers who adhere to the rules, regulations and guidelines which have been developed to insure an enjoyable experience for all.
Lone Pine Campsites assumes no responsibility for any accident or injury to person or property resulting from any non compliance with these rules and regulations and requests that campers make every effort to keep all campers safe.
Lone Pine Campsites operates a seasonal campground and RV park and the seasonal ambiance must be maintained. Basically, that means that there must be a “temporary” or a “mobile” nature to every site. Therefore, items such as fences, plants, TV dishes, decks, skirting, storage sheds and other such items that might appear to be permanent fixtures or out of the ordinary for a campsite, are strictly regulated by management. Any modification to a campsite requires prior management approval. Please note that the following rules apply to both “seasonal” and “overnight” campers.
The seasonal camping season begins on May 1 and concludes on October 15. Any camper, including campers who camp for the entire season (“seasonal campers”), may be required to leave the park and remove their camper or recreational vehicle at any time during the season for violations of these Rules and Regulations. Lone Pine is only for tents, campers and recreational mobile vehicles. Mobile homes are prohibited. No one shall identify Lone Pine as their legal residence. From October 16th through April 30th, campers and recreational vehicles may be stored for a fee. Access to campers or recreational vehicles, while they are stored, is solely at the management’s discretion. Please note that the following rules apply to both “seasonal” and “overnight” campers.
The following rules are designed to give Lone Pine campers a safe, clean and pleasant experience. Modifications or amendments to these rules and regulations may be adopted as necessary with or without notice to campers.
