Kayaks / SUPs – I’m thinking about bringing a kayak / SUPs to share.  Check with me beforehand if you’re interested so I can be sure to pack them. 😀

Fishing – Since we have a waterfront site, you can fish directly from the campsite! I don’t know if that would be a good spot, haha, but you can do it! I’m sure there are other places to fish, too. 😀 

Dogs are welcome for responsible dog owners. Dogs must be on a leash, and do not let them approach people or other dogs without asking.
