Ross Camp Campground Rules

  • Set-Up: May begin after 3 p.m. on the first day and the site must be clear by 2 p.m. on the last day, except Sundays or Monday of a holiday weekend, when you may stay until 5 p.m. Campers are requested to renew sites by 10 a.m. The Campground closes at 11 p.m., and no set-up of campsites may occur after that time. Generators or other similar equipment which produce noise may only be operated from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m.
  • Length of Stay: Maximum length of stay is 10 consecutive nights.
  • Number of People/Tents/Vehicles Per Site: Maximum of 6 people allowed at a campsite. Each site may have 2 tents or 1 camper and 1 small tent. Vehicles will be limited to 1 per site. Additional vehicles must be parked in the designated parking area outside of the campground entrance.
  • Age of Campers: At least 1 person at the campsite must be 18 years old. The responsible party registering for the campsite shall remain at the site for the entire stay.
  • Visitors to Your Site: Day visitors are welcome. They must park in the designated parking area outside the campground entrance and walk to your campsite. Campground hours are 7 a.m. until 11 p.m. each day.
  • Quiet Hours: Quiet hours are from 10 p.m. until 7 a.m. At night, voices carry so moderation is essential.
  • Firewood: Cutting down standing trees is not permitted in county parks and recreation areas. Bring you own firewood!
  • Pets: Many family pets do not seem to enjoy the camping experience nearly as much as their humans. The unfamiliarity and confusion of a busy campground and being constantly on a leash seem to upset some animals. Excessive noise and not cleaning up after pets are the main complaints from other campers. Campers are responsible for their pets at all times. Do not leave them unattended. Pets must be on a leash 6 feet or less, in length. Clean up after your pet!
  • Tables: Each site is outfitted with one picnic table. Borrowing tables from other sites is not allowed and creates discord when they must be retrieved for the site from which they were taken.
  • Vehicles: Reducing congestion and visitor safety are the reasons for the "1 mode of transportation per site" rule.
  • Alcohol: Alcohol is forbidden in the Ross Camp campground.
  • Check-Out Time: Time for checking out is 2 p.m. Monday - Saturday, and 5 p.m. on Sundays and holidays.
  • Nails and Wires: Nails and wires for suspending lanterns and patio lights can cause serious damage to trees. Burn damage permanently scars or kills trees.
  • Reservations: May be made 1 year in advance and must be paid in-full, no refunds. Camper on a site has first chance at next year's date and that site. Reservation must be made on the 1st business day following the date of use. Call 765-463-2306 to confirm reservation.
