The Rusty Boot RV Park Rules & Regulations

We know most RV’ers to be some of the most helpful, honest, and respectful people in the country. The overwhelming majority of RV’ers display kindness toward others, and are not in need of written rules. These rules are provided out of an abundance of caution to ensure the enjoyment of the Campground by all. Those who choose not to observe these guidelines can be asked to leave our park without any form of refund. Thank you for helping to keep The Rusty Boot RV Park enjoyable for yourself and the others around you. We sincerely hope you enjoy your stay here.

General: We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. This is a privately owned Campground facility, and failure to comply with these rules, the destruction of Campground property or the property of others, or misconduct may result in your being removed from the Campground premises without a refund.

RISK: Campers and their Guests may use the Campground, upon proper admission, at your own risk.

CANCELLATION AND REFUNDS: In general, there shall be no refunds of any deposits if a Camper or Guest is asked to vacate the Campground due to a violation of these rules. Early cancellation, or cancellation prior to your arrival may result in a forfeiture of your deposit. In the event of early cancellation for a monthly reservation, Campers may receive a refund of the deposit, less $35.00, if cancellation is received 30 days or more prior to the Arrival Date. In the event of early cancellation for a non-monthly reservation (daily or weekly), Campers may receive a refund of the deposit, less $25.00, if cancellation is received 14 days or more prior to the Arrival Date.

All Campers holding a reservation may change the dates of the reservation once without penalty, as long as (i) the change in reservation dates is not made less than 14 days of the arrival date, and (ii) a Campsite is available for the newly requested dates. Continued attempts to change reservation dates may be deemed an early cancellation resulting in the forfeiture of all or part of one’s deposit, as provided above. One night’s rate shall be accepted as a deposit upon booking. For holiday reservations, the full reservation amount must be paid at booking. CAMPING IS AN OUTDOOR EXPERIENCE; THEREFORE, WE DO NOT GIVE REFUNDS DUE TO WHIMS OF MOTHER NATURE!
