Camping & Lodging Rules

At the Canoe Outpost, we want everyone's stay with us to be fun. To help ensure the enjoyment and safety of all, please abide by the following rules for your stay. Reserved or registered guests are responsible for the actions and behavior of themselves, other members of their party and any guests they may have. Violations of any rules may result in eviction from the property with no refund of fees paid and additional financial and legal responsibilities or penalties depending on the act or behavior. Please contact us if you have a special need or concern.

Prohibited items: All fireworks, all firearms (including air pellet and BB guns) and chainsaws. Paintball guns or any device that fires a projectile. Quiet Times: For the enjoyment of all guests, please observe quiet time between 10:00 p.m. And 7:00 a.m. unless previous written arrangements have been made with the office. No generators should be run during quiet times.

Noise: Between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., please limit your noise so as not to interfere with the enjoyment of others. Remember, just because you like Beethoven and the Beastie Boys does not mean that the folks camping next to you do.

Alcohol: The outpost is private property and we do allow responsible alcohol consumption. If you choose to drink, please do so responsibly.

Pets: We welcome responsible owners of dogs and cats only with prior approval at the time of reservation or registration. (See our service dog policy below) We allow pets in our canoes and kayaks and on our transport buses. Remember that the river and the highway may be hazardous for your pet and paddling with your pet involves added risk and responsibility for your pets and the paddlers. All pets should be kept on a leash at all times when outside of your lodging. Please be sure pick up after your pet. Owners of pets that make excessive noise or are a threat to people, property or other pets, will be asked to remove the pet or if the pet is not removed, to leave the outpost with no refund of lodging fees. We cannot be responsible for your pet so please DO NOT leave a pet unattended unless properly provided for, you are sure that they will not be a nuisance to other guests and you check with the office first. All pets must have current vaccinations. You are responsible for your pets and their actions.

Service Dogs: Service dogs are always welcome at the outpost. So that we may be aware of and properly allow for your service dog(s), we ask that you inform us that you will be bringing your service dog(s) at the time you place your reservation and again when you check in. You will be asked on our check in form to declare 1) If the dog is a service animal required because of a disability? and 2) What work or tasks has the dog been trained to perform? We request that your service dog(s) be leashed, harnessed or tethered when out of service and when in service if possible.

Fires and firewood: Campfires are allowed in the camping area group fire pit or the fire rings in the camping or cabin areas only. Fires should be sized to their ring or pit and no more than 3' high. Firewood may be purchased from the office or brought with you. Collecting small sticks and twigs less than 1" in diameter is allowed ONLY IF they are dead, fallen wood and are not attached to any tree or bush. NO CUTTING of any live or dead tree, bush or vegetation is allowed. Hatchets, knives or axes should only be used to cut firewood that you brought or bought. Please do not allow careless use of these tools to damage any tree or vegetation. Registered guests are legally and financially responsible for violations of these policies. Cutting or damaging a tree may result in eviction from the property and financial liability in the hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

Vehicles: Vehicles are limited to roadways and individual campsites. No vehicles in the group camp area without special arrangement.

Motorized carts or cycles: Only golf carts are allowed on the property and on our very limited trails without special arrangement. No ATV's or dirt bikes.

Bicycles: Bicycles are welcome. Since we have dirt roads and very limited rough woods trails, you may find few places to use them at the outpost. Please ask our staff about bike trails in the area.

Private Facilities & Areas: We are happy to have you stay with us and we invite you to explore the river and land around us. However, we ask your cooperation in respecting that the area surrounding our house on the top of the hill is reserved for private family use except as needed to access remote camping areas.

Damages: All lodgers and campers are legally and financially responsible for their actions and any damages they may cause to property. Please act responsible. The Canoe Outpost reserves the right to refuse service to anyone.
