Thank you for choosing Trail's End Campground! For the comfort and enjoyment of all of our campers, we ask that you abide by the following campground rules. Thank you for your cooperation!

(ps. We reserve the right to evict, without refund, anyone who doesn't follow the rules of the facility -- including the beach rules.. you can find those here.)

Please remember, we are a Family Campground. If you cannot behave in a "Rated G" environment, you may wish to camp elsewhere.

At 11:00 PM -- All Children under age 18 must be back on their campsite. All radios must be turned off, and campfire voices must be kept down.

KIDS: Parents are responsible for the safety and actions of their children at all times. An adult should know where each child is and what they are doing at all times.

FIRES: Fires are permitted in the designated fire pit only. Do not move or destroy the fire pit! Only dead, downed wood may be collected for fires. Bushes and trees may not be cut or damaged. Firewood is available for purchase at the store. Our staff monitors our campsites and you will be held responsible for any damage done while you are occupying a site.

PETS: Pets are welcome if they are good campers! All dogs must be kept on a leash at all times. They poop -- so you gotta scoop! Noisy animals are asked to leave. Pets are NOT permitted to be left unattended unless they are locked insider your camper. Dogs may not be tied to trees or uprights. NO PETS ON THE BEACH! Dogs can swim in the boat launch area.

BATHHOUSE AND RESTROOMS: No pets, playing, loitering, dishwashing or smoking permitted in the restrooms or bathhouse.

TRASH AND RECYCLING: Trash is picked up curbside every evening between 7-9pm. DO NOT LEAVE GARBAGE OUT OVERNIGHT! If you miss the trash pick-up, keep trash in your camper until the next day.

PARKING & VEHICLES: Only 2 vehicles per site. Additional parking is available offsite. Our speed limit is 5 MPH! Driving in excess of that speed endangers our campers. Anyone who repeatedly speeds through the park will be asked to leave. ATV'S and DIRTBIKES may not be used in the campground, nor may any motorized vehicle driven by children, such as scooters, mopeds, etc. (We have a hard enough time controlling the adults!)

BIKING: Riding on roadways is permitted during daylight hours only. This is for your safety!

BOAT LAUNCH: Daylight hours only! Guests can launch their boat for a fee. Free to all campers.

GUESTS & VISITORS: We charge a fee for visitors. A visitor is anyone who is not registered to camp with you at your site. Visitors can either spend the day with us, or stay overnight. The cost is $5 per adult/$3 per child for day visitors -- must leave the campground by 10:30 pm -- and $7 per adult/$3 per child for overnight visitors. Please see the camping rates for additional information about visitor fees and overnight visitors.

BEACH RULES

These rules are established for the safety of everyone. Your cooperation is MANDATORY!

TWO ADULTS, age 18 and up, must be present in order to swim when lifeguard is not on duty!

Children, age 16 and under, MUST be accompanied by a parent or guardian AT ALL TIMES!

NO PETS on the BEACH or in the PICNIC AREA! (Really. we mean it... it's a New York State Law!) We always advise our campers who bring their pets to determine in advance what will be done with Fido while they are enjoying the beach. Please refer to the PET RULES.

NO GLASS

Flotation devices are permitted at the discretion of the lifeguard. This means that you may be asked to remove or not use your flotation device if the lifeguard feels that it is a safety risk or if it diminishes his/her ability to watch the water.

Children age 18 and under MUST PASS A SWIM TEST to swim in the deep area.

No children under age 5 are permitted in the deep area, even with a flotation device, and/or parent.

No rough play, dunking, chicken fights, etc.

NEVER DRINK AND SWIM! Intoxicated individuals will not be allowed to swim. It puts everyone at risk.

The decisions of the lifeguard are final with regard to these rules and their enforcement.

BOATING AND THE BEACH

Many of our campers enjoy bringing their own boats or renting boats during their stay. Boat parking is available on the beach in the designated area. We encourage you to have a great time on the lake and at our beach. Please keep in mind the following rules:

NO SWIMMING OUTSIDE OF THE SWIM AREA! Our swim lines are set with New York State regulations and we cannot allow ANY swimming, wadding, playing in the water, floating on a raft, etc., outside those designated areas. Anyone who refuses to follow this rule will not be permitted to have a boat/jetski at the beach.

SAFETY FIRST! If the behavior of any patron of this facility or operation of any watercraft on the lake jeopardizes anyone's safety, we will contact the Sheriff's Department representative who patrols our lake.

No overnight boat/jetski parking on the beach.

Do not leave your boat/jetski unattended. We are not responsible for any theft or vandalism that may occur.

NEVER LEAVE THE KIDS ALONE ON THE BEACH!!!!! If you are out on the boat/jetski -- who's watching the kids? The lifeguards are not babysitters. You must stay on the beach if your children want to swim.

NO PETS --- NO PETS -- NO PETS --- ON THE BEACH! Keep them on the boat or take them to the launch area. This is a New York State Regulation!

SORRY, ALL OF OUR BEACH/BOATING RULES AND REGULATIONS ARE NON-NEGOTIABLE. You can expect our management staff to support the lifeguards in their safety decisions and the enforcement of these rules.
