Be sure to not let snow pile on your roof too much as it causes stress on your roof as well as keeps it colder.

Wet Season
During the wet season (particularly spring), road conditions in the park can become muddy, try to avoid driving on the same muddy spots every day, or contact management for site repairs.
Plastic Components
Take care of plastic components. They can become brittle from the cold.
RV Furnace
Check your RV furnace before you use it to ensure it is working condition. Clean your furnace using compressed air or a soft brush to remove dirt and debris. Check the furnace vents for any damage or obstructions that could prevent air from flowing properly and check that the furnace air return is not blocked.
Heat Tape
Use heat tape on pipes and hoses. Wrap your freshwater hose and sewer hose with heat strips to keep the lines warm and prevent freezing. Heat tape can be applied around valves and connections most at risk of freeze-ups. You can also add foam insulation in addition to heat tape for extra protection
Internal Plumbing.
Warm your internal plumbing. Open your bathroom and kitchen cabinets, so your trailerโs heating can keep internal plumbing warm. Allowing a small drip from faucets can also help combat freezing by water moving.
Cover your AC Unit.
Cover your AC unit. This prevents cold drafts. Be sure you have vent covers as they reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and can release some of the moisture from inside
Use heavy drapes
Use heavy drapes. Thick fabric drapes block cold drafts around the windows and keep warm air in during chilly evenings. Insulated curtains can also be used to separate the cockpit and living space, so you have a smaller area to heat.
Install Window Coverings
Window film and reflective foil are affordable and effective ways to further insulate your RV windows. Foil lined reflective insulation can be cut to fit your RV windows and added bonus reflecting heat back into the RV.
Seal the Windows and Doors.
Examine the seals and caulking around the RV windows and replace any areas that are missing or weak. Replace weather stripping around exterior doors to prevent cold air and moisture from leaking out.
Insulate the Floors
Insulate the floors. Foam board flooring can be used to insulate the RV floor. Nobody likes freezing toes. If you prefer not to purchase foam board flooring, heavy rugs and carpets can also help block cold air that may come up.
Install RV skirting.
Wind blowing underneath your RV can cause water tanks to freeze and suck heat out. Installing RV skirting around the base of the RV can block cold winds from damaging vehicle components and chilling the interior.

WINTER GUIDELINES
Here are some tips and recommendations for running an RV safely and efficiently during the winter:
Fencing
Fencing is limited to 24โ in height and may be utilized only in the area under the rig awning.
Flags and Signs
Flags and signs that display political, controversial, vulgarity or profanity are not allowed to be displayed at your site or throughout the campground.
Run a De-Humidifier
The purpose of this is to prevent moisture in your trailer which could lead to mold. Windows and walls get extreme condensation due to heaters, body heat, and cooking inside.
Heaters/Fireplaces
Plug-in heaters/fireplaces make a huge difference on warmth inside an RV. Too many though, could draw too much power and trip your RV breakers or cause a fire. Space heaters are not recommended, but no more than one space heater may be plugged in at one time.
Exterior Furnishings
Exterior furnishings should be appropriate for outdoor/camping use. Indoor furnishings including but not limited to sofas, chairs, refrigerators, freezers and kitchen tables are not allowed on your campsite.
Tarps, Tents, Shade Structures, Other Structures
โข Tents and โeasy-upโ-type structures are for temporary use only, limited to seven days.
โข Management can approve more substantial, semi-permanent shade structures, in accordance with the individual property guidelines.
โข Only form-fitting bike/car covers are allowed. Carports are prohibited.
Clean Campsites
Campsites should be clean and neat, free of fire hazards and clutter. We repeat campsites should be clean and neat, free of fire hazards and clutter.
SITE STANDARDS
We all need to be good neighbors to our fellow campers! No one likes to camp next to a messy site, and a messy campsite can be an open invitation to unwanted wildlife. Remember, this is a CAMPGROUND, not a permanent residence.
Guests
โข Guests shall not make any alteration to the electric, water or sewer connections provided by the campground/resort.
โข Guests should adhere to specific legal requirements when connecting to sewer, water and electric services at the campground/resort.

Winter Stays
For winter stays, tarps are permitted but must be WHITE.
RV Exterior
The exterior should be free of duct tape, repair tape, excessive caulk, etc.
APPEARANCE GUIDELINES
RVs should look and function how they were originally designed. The following appearance guidelines apply to all extended stay campers. Guests staying during the winter season will have more stringent requirements to adhere to.
Doors, shrouds, panels, windows and coverings, etc.
Doors, shrouds, panels, windows and coverings, etc. should be intact and not unsightly.
RV STANDARDS
The quality of RVs in a resort or campground can contribute to or detract from the overall experience of all camp guests. For this reason, we enforce some standards of appearance on RVs, similar to those in place at many other RV resorts and campgrounds.
Tarps
Tarps cannot be used for weatherproofing and awnings should be in good condition.
All vehicles must be operable and in good condition.
โข๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ข๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ: Please note that โgood conditionโ does not mean โnew,โ and we do not typically have an age limit for RVs.
โข ๐๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐๐ข๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง:Vehicles must be certified and insured. Proof of insurance is required.
RV Exterior
Exterior should be not unsightly and should be free of obvious, poorly-repaired damages.
