Camper Services provides showers, laundry, and an RV dump and fill station and will be open for business today at 2:30 pm.  The park will continue to monitor water levels in storage tanks to ensure they remain at sustainable levels and may modify water restrictions in the future to address water sustainability.

 

On Wednesday, March 28 water restrictions were modified to allow restaurants in the park to wash dishes at selected establishments. Visitors and residents are reminded that other Level 3 water restrictions remain in place; sinks in public restrooms remain turned off and hand sanitizer is provided for use. Visitors and residents should continue to be mindful of their water use by turning off water when brushing teeth or shaving, collecting water in buckets while waiting for the shower to heat up, washing only full loads of dishes or laundry, selectively flushing toilets, and reporting wasteful water use and leaks. Residents are also reminded to use non-potable water for plants and lawns and to not fill large-capacity water tanks in the park.

 

The park is anticipating extremely high visitation over the Easter weekend. Visitors are encouraged to arrive early, pack their patience, and be mindful of their water consumption while in the park.
