So are there rules to camping? Yes there are! Are these rules posted anywhere? Most of them are AND there are some rules that are unwritten. Some would call it camping etiquette. Some of the rules may be common sense, but hey, when we’re on vacation some rules just go out the window with all the other things we have to remember! So here is a list of things to help you be a more considerate camper and better neighbor:
Don’t walk or cut through other people’s site. It’s kind of
rude and you may end up disturbing someone.
Quiet time is for quiet time. Usually at family campgrounds,
there are little children and some guests may be early sleepers, so let’s be
considerate of them and stay quiet after those quiet hours. Our quiet time at
PirateLand is 11pm to 7am.
Leave no trace behind -meaning let’s clean up after ourselves.
Leave the campsite clean for the next family to come in on and help preserve
our natural environment.
Don’t feed animals at the campground. It may be so cute and
the animals may be friendly at first, but when you’re tired of feeding them they
will keep coming back, and may become aggressive if not fed.
Playing music at your site is fine. Blaring music so others
can hear it too is not!
Campers are some of the friendliest people you will meet, so
be nice and make friends!
Treat the campground facilities as you would treat your own.
From the bathhouses to the pools to the beachfront; a lot of resources are
spent keeping things going. We all want to enjoy the facilities here for years
to come so remember to take care and help make everyone’s experience more
enjoyable.
Respect other peoples space. Invading others’ sites with
your things – cars, bikes, etc. usually ends unpleasantly for someone.
Please drive slowly in the campground. There are lots of
children and pedestrians walking around, so no speeding!
Please watch after your pets. Clean up after them and don’t
let them use the bathroom on anyone else’s site. It’s just rude and did I
mention nasty!!
Following these rules is vital for you and other guests to
have the best camping experience. If you guys see anything that I may have
missed please let us know and we can add them. Email us here at piratelandmarketing@gmail.com
Here’s to Happy Camping!

If not parked, golf carts should remain on the campground roads! Driving through sites, other grassy areas, the sand dunes, or into the lake is destructive and possibly illegal!
