Batteries

Change batteries in safety devices such as fire alarm and carbon monoxide detector. They save lives!

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.

Rules:

Please follow any speed limit signs at the park. Max speed limit at any place in the park is 15 mph. No parties are allowed. Please contact management for approval No events are allowed. Please contact management for approval Please keep a clean, picked up site Please dispose of trash in the dumpster. The dumpster is large and has multiple panels, please spread throughout. Quiet hours begin at 10pm. Please be courteous of other guests. Monthly reservations must return the site as they found it No glass, trash etc. in the firepits. Fighting of any kind for any reason will be a cause for immediate removal from the park. Pets must be on leash We are happy to have you as a guest at Cloud Nine Camping!

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

Plastic Components

Take care of plastic components. They can become brittle from the cold.

Internal Plumbing.

Warm your internal plumbing. Open your bathroom and kitchen cabinets, so your trailer’s heating can keep internal plumbing warm. Allowing a small drip from faucets can also help combat freezing by water moving.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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. 𝑵𝑶𝑻𝑬: 𝑾𝒆 𝒂𝒔𝒌 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒈𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒔 𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒊𝒍 𝒃𝒖𝒃𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏.

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.

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.

WINTER GUIDELINES

Here are some tips and recommendations for running an RV safely and efficiently during the winter:

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.

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.

Fencing

Fencing is limited to 24” 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.

Guests

• Guests shall not make any alteration to the electric, water or sewer connections provided by the campground/resort. • Guests should adhere to specific legal requirements when connecting to sewer, water and electric services at the campground/resort. • Guests should be able to move your rig very quickly in case of emergency.

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.

Tarps, Tents, Shade Structures, Other Structures

• Tents and “easy-up”-type structures are for temporary use only, limited to seven days. • Management can approve more substantial, semi-permanent shade structures, in accordance with the individual property guidelines. • Only form-fitting bike/car covers are allowed. Carports are prohibited.

Winter Stays

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.

RV Exterior

Exterior should be not unsightly and should be free of obvious, poorly-repaired damages.

All vehicles must be operable and in good condition.

•𝐀𝐠𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭: Please note that “good condition” does not mean “new,” and we do not typically have an age limit for RVs. • 𝐑𝐕 𝐂𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:Vehicles must be certified and insured. Proof of insurance is required.

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.

Doors, shrouds, panels, windows and coverings, etc.

Doors, shrouds, panels, windows and coverings, etc. should be intact and not unsightly.

Tarps

Tarps cannot be used for weatherproofing and awnings should be in good condition.

SEASONAL RV RESERVATION POLICY

𝐔𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬: Utilities are built into the monthly price. However the campground reserves the right to drop the monthly rate, install a meter to your site and begin charging for utilites. In this scenario, your monthly rate will decrease by $125/month Your satisfaction is very important to us. We appreciate that you have chosen to spend your time with us and want to make sure you and all our guests enjoy their stay. With this in mind, we have outlined some basic RV standards and site standards to ensure that we maintain a standard of quality in our campground. We must reiterate that this is a CAMPGROUND – we are not a permanent residence and cannot be treated as such. Regular camping rules remain in effect at all times.

Winter Reservations

• By agreeing to these terms you are agreeing you understand that during the winter the water will not be turned on to your site. • While space heaters are not recommended, no camper may have more than one space heater connected at a time. This is a fire hazard.
