Campground Rules

1. RESERVATIONS:
Reservations are to be made with the CAMPING CHAIRPERSON.
They are required for:

• All troops (or other sanctioned organized groups).

• Non-members (other than immediate families of members).

• Members and their immediate families camping as a group of more than two camping units.

2. CAMPSITES:

a. Sites are limited to one (1) camping unit except for # 6, 13, and 16 - maximum of two units; and # 0 & 1 - two or more units. NO EXCEPTIONS without the permission of the Camping Chairperson.

b. Families accompanying troops are limited to the area West of the pump (#1 through 6). Sites # 7 - 16 are off limits at all times to troops and accompanying families.

c. Tables are not to be moved from sites.

d. Limit cutting brush to immediate sites so as to preserve the wilderness character and maintain wind breaks. Leave lake shore uncut.

e. Restore woodpiles and cover with tarps.

f. Fires are to be built only in established fireplaces. Fireplaces are not to be moved or modified unless authorized by the Camping Chairperson. All fires are to be completely extinguished before leaving. If you can’t touch it with your hand it is not extinguished.

g. Nothing should be burned in fires except wood and paper. (It is illegal to burn any type of plastic in Minnesota). Cans, bottles and aluminum foil packages do not burn.

h. Leave only your footprints. Take your garbage with you when you leave.

3. TREES:
Do not cut live trees at any time, unless authorized by the Camping Chairperson.

4. TRAIL VEHICLES:
Use of motorized vehicles such as motorbikes, trail bikes, All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs), etc. is prohibited on the grounds. Motorcycles may be driven to reach campsites but are not to be used to tour campgrounds. Motor vehicles of any kind are not allowed on the trails.

5. PETS:
Do not let your dog or other pet disturbs other campers. Keep them under control or leashed. Dogs do drive away wildlife and leave unwelcome offerings at other sites. Do not allow your pets to dig on the beach or in campsites.

6. SWIMMING:
An adult must accompany children while at the beach. Non-swimmers should not use flotation devices (air mattresses, inner tubes, etc.). It is advisable to have a boat with oars and life preservers on the beach during swimming sessions. Troops must provide their own Water Safety Instructor (WSI) and rescue boats.

7. LATRINES:
Restrooms are to be maintained by the people who use them. A few buckets of water and a sweeping will do wonders for them. Leave them as you would like to find them.

8. FIREARMS:
NO firearms are allowed on the property. Hunters must check with the Camping Chairperson for exceptions.

9. REFRIGERATION:
If propane tanks are changed, Woitalla Service (in Harding) must be notified to bring out a replacement tank when someone will be in camp. Pay Woitalla Service and submit the bill to Treasurer for reimbursement. When leaving, shut off refrigerators and propane valve on tank. Thoroughly clean and dry refrigerators and leave doors slightly ajar.

10. WHEN YOU LEAVE:
Lock all boats, sheds and gates if you are the last to leave camp. Report any problems or unusual conditions in the log (kept in the latrine across from the tool shed) and call the Camping Chairperson upon your return home.

11. TOOLS:
BEFORE USING THEM, become familiar with care and safe use of chain saws, brush-cutter and mower. READ instructions in tool shed first and get help from an experienced member. Do not use power tools near children. CLEAN and Return all tools immediately after use. Report any damage or repairs to the Camping Chairperson.

12. MISCELLANEOUS:
Traditionally our Club members are SCOUTS and have adopted the Fourth Scout Law -- " A Scout is Friendly" as our motto. We encourage you to socialize with other campers and make guests welcome. This is easier to do if you bring up one guest or family at a time rather than a group of several camping units.
