All guests must be 18 years old or older in order to visit our campground.
Quiet time is from 10pm - 7am. PLEASE REFRAIN FROM MAKING ANY SORT OF LOUD NOISE AFTER 10PM AMD BEFORE 7AM. Loud noise includes (but is not limited to) yelling, hooting, loud laughing, partying, fighting, arguing, loud mufflers and loud stereos. Loud noise is defined as anything that can be heard from 50+ feet away. We should not be able to hear ANY noise at all from the camp office during the quiet period mentioned above.
There may be certain celebratory periods where some noise is permitted, but only when the campground has applied for a permit for a large gathering, such as a July 4th parade and/ or fireworks display. The permit process makes the community aware that a group event is taking place, and this is the ONLY exception to the loud noise rule.
If you are a member of a group who's rented a camping spot, THE PERSON WHO MADE THE RESERVATION IS RESPONSIBLE FOR KEEPING HIS PARTY QUIET DURING THE QUIET PERIOD and for following all the other posted rules. The person who made the reservation MUST be present at check-in to sign his agreement to be responsible for his party.
WE ARE A QUIET, RESPONSIBLE CAMPGROUND AND WE WILL RESPECT THE NEIGHBORS LIVING AROUND THE CAMPGROUND. DISTURBING YOUR NEIGHBORS INSIDE THE CAMPGROUND OR THOSE OUTSIDE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
Some form of US government-issued photo ID must be presented by EVERY visitor at check-in. If you are a group, every member of your group must present an ID. Do your best not to get yourself banned from the property, as our detection system will prohibit your re-entry at a later date with a fake ID.
Responsibility is key here at Misthaven. While we're all responsible adults here, someone needs to be designated the lead person in charge. If you are the one making the reservation for yourself or for a group, then you are automatically designated as the responsible party as far as we're concerned. This means it is your duty to keep your group mates in line, quiet and clean. You, as the reservation-maker, need to make sure that any dogs in your group aren't barking and disturbing the campground, that any dog poop is picked up, that no one in your group is excessively noisy (particularly beyond the imposed quiet time every evening), and that members of your group are picking up after themselves. This means campsite litter in trash bins, cigarette butts placed in the proper receptacles throughout the park, etc. Basically the reservation-maker is responsible for his group mates at all times.
Misthaven is also a CLEAN park. You are expected to keep your campsite clean and orderly. Again, the campsite reservation-maker is the person held responsible for his group and this includes ensuring his group adheres to ALL camp rules, including keeping the camp site clean. There is an abundance of trash bins located all over the park for this express purpose. Also, CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR PET!!!!!
Masks are optional at Misthaven. You won't be shamed whether you choose to wear one or not.
Clothing is REQUIRED everywhere on the site, except at the pool, which is clothing-optional. Clothing is ALWAYS MANDATORY anywhere food is prepared or served to the public.
We accept cash and credit/ debit cards. Cash is always your cheaper option, as we impose a 3% credit card transaction fee if you use a credit/ debit card. No one likes fees (including us), so your cheapest option is to use cash. Hit an ATM before you leave home or at some point along the way. Cash keeps our prices low, and saves you some money.
No, we're not talking about the '80's pop group. What we mean is Misthaven is a new alternative lifestyle campground. The park opened under the name Misthaven quite recently, in January 2024. Keep in mind that we are new as you compare us to other campgrounds. We know we are lacking some amenities, but we are quickly adding more and more features. If you can think of it, it's probably already on our list! We just ask that you bear with us and take a hefty helping of patience as we make Misthaven the campground you want it to be.
Dogs are not to be left unattended at tent sites. This is because dogs tend to be noisy, and there is no way to keep your dog from barking at everyone who walks by while you're at the pool. We know..... we've heard it a million times before: "But my dog doesn't bark." Doesn't matter. If we make an exception for one person, we have to make an exception for everyone.. Dogs are permitted at RV sites. Keep your dog inside your RV when unattended. If your dog barks a lot, close all the windows in your RV and run the AC. Dogs are not permitted at cabin sites. This is because we know dogs will poop and pee and bring fleas inside. And we know, we've heard it before: "My dog doesn't have fleas." Doesn't matter. If we make an exception for one person, we have to make an exception for everyone. We also don't have a dog park yet, so leashes are mandatory at all times.
No dogs are allowed on the disc golf course at all.
We know, you need wifi or your life will be completely pointless. We've heard it countless times before. We are working on it. Until the Amazon gods hear our prayers and drop off a wifi router on our doorstep, the only thing we can suggest is to use your cell phone as a hotspot. Finding a wifi router that can reach the entire campground is on our list, and will be one of the first upgrades we usher in.
So there will be no misunderstanding, we here at Misthaven will proceed to celebrate our holidays for all to enjoy. This means we will celebrate Christmas for those who celebrate Christmas, and we will have Christmas trees standing and decorated. We will celebrate Halloween. We will celebrate Thanksgiving. We will celebrate July 4th. We will celebrate Easter.
In fact, we will probably dress up the office and general store for pretty much every holiday there is. If there are decorations for Groundhog Day or Secretaries Day, then expect the office to be dressed up for the occasion as well. And if there isn't a holiday for a particular month, we may just invent one, just because.
While we will never impose tradition or beliefs on others, we will respect all who come to visit our property, and ask that you do the same. We realize some may be offended when an image of a Christmas tree or American flag is displayed. Offending visitors is not our intention, so take this information and be forewarned of what you're likely to see on the grounds for future holidays.
Visitors to our park are permitted one 3' x 5' flag to display at their campsite as they wish. As long as any such flag does not represent hatred or violence, then it should be allowed, as everyone should be permitted to display that which they wish to celebrate.
Know the dimensions of your rig. Know how tall it is. We won't be held responsible for damage to your rig or other equipment due to low-lying branches or other obstacles. Remember the #1 rule when it comes to hauling a trailer or driving an RV: G.O.A.L. It means "Get Out And Look!" If you need help backing a trailer or RV in to place, PLEASE ASK US. While the campground is heavily wooded in areas and there plenty of trees and branches, hundreds of RV's made it through the campground last year, and hundreds more in previous years. All of them managed to get through the campground without damage from low-hanging tree limbs or other such obstacles. Your RV is no different, because your RV is no higher or no wider than the hundreds of RV's before yours.
Please use campfires responsibly. There may be times during dry seasons or periods without significant rain whereby we completely disallow any fires. Please do not disobey "No Burn" restrictions. People do this all the time out west during droughts and it always ends disastrously. We have firewood available to purchase, and if you need us to show you how to get a kick a$$ fire started, ask. There is an awesome stacking trick that almost guarantees an awesome fire that will make your camp neighbors envious.
It's inevitable: every summer someone gets their car or RV stuck. Usually happens after a heavy rainfall. We encourage you to do some pre-planning the day before your departure if heavy rain is forecast. Try to position your car or RV in such a manner as to minimize getting stuck. While we have some heavy-duty equipment that can possibly free your stuck vehicle, bear in mind we won't be held responsible for damages. You may need to call a tow truck to yank your rig out if you get stuck. If so, please do so ASAP, as there may be another rig headed in to take your spot as you are departing.
You may have noticed that on our "Rates" page, most of our rates say "Starting at-->" This is because due to scheduling and availability factors, your rate may be higher than what's shown on our rate page. Airlines and hotels have been using "dynamic pricing" formulas for years. This means as the scheduling system notices certain hotels or airplanes are nearing capacity, the system will raise rates to account for the demand. As demand rises, so, too, do hotel and airline rates. This is why if you check back an hour or two later, your airline fare may have increased.... or sold out altogether. Our system is designed to do the same. So the rule of thumb is, make reservations as fast as you can to beat the rush.
Yes, we limit the number of people that can camp at four per site. We do this so our sites don't have 10 or 15 people trying to game the system and cramming in to one site.
If you are a day pass visitor, then you are on the clock. That means your day pass expires at 10pm. That means you exit the property no later than 10pm. Staying beyond 10pm means that you are now a camper and, in our view, are spending the night. If you have reserved a campsite and you allow a day pass visitor to spend the night for ANY reason at your site, you run the risk of losing your deposit AND being banned from the site. Don't do it. Our rules are set up for a reason. Anyone caught the following morning wearing yesterday's day pass wrist band will be presumed to have stayed the night and will be banned.
The ONLY exception to this rule is for events that run past 10pm.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND OUR DEPOSIT POLICY!!!! Our deposit policy is in place to help ensure everyone plays by the same rules. You place a deposit when you rent an apartment. Sometimes you place a deposit to have your electric turned on. Deposits are a necessary fact of life, and nothing is more true than here at Misthaven.
The easiest way to start an argument over the Thanksgiving dinner table is to start talking about politics. That's why we declared Misthaven a "politics-free" zone. Not that we hate politics.... we just don't want to hear the endless bickering over who-said-what about so-and-so's candidate. We ask that while at Misthaven, we all set aside our politics and enjoy the comradery. We're not here to convert anyone or proselytize.
Everyone on the planet deserves to be respected, and we plan to encourage such behavior at Misthaven. Never assume that because you are at a gay campground full of other gay men in various stages of clothing that you have the right to touch someone in a way that may be deemed inappropriate. ALWAYS ASK FIRST. If the object of your desire has little interest in you, move on. Similarly, if you have little interest in someone, simply say "I'm afraid I wouldn't be interested." Also keep in mind that not everyone at our facility is LGBTQ. We have many straight folks at our campground.
Come as you are, and we guarantee that you'll be welcome and respected. We hope all our visitors will be just as welcoming, so all we can do is to set the pace and instill an air of inclusivity and respect and hope it rubs off on to everyone else.
Look, we get it. We hate setting up rules. But it is our duty to set up the rules for everyone's enjoyment. People come here and spend money to have a good time, not to listen to someone else's noise or arguing or step in someone else's dog poop.
So please, take heed of what we've written. Act accordingly, act responsible, and we'll all get along.
