have a maximum of 2 persons that they charge you for when you sign up as a seasonal. Any more family members and you
get charged alot of money to have them added on to camp with you. When you sign up with us, all of your
immediate family members are included in your one time seasonal price. To All Seasonal Campers: It
was with my intentions to be fair with everyone by allowing friends and family to visit Medcalf Acres with no charges.
Some have taken my kindness and stretched the rules. It is because of this that I have had to clarify
the rules. Please follow the following rules from this date forward. It is not our job
as management to babysit and chase people for any overnight fees due. Anyone not paying extra fees at the
time of entrance/check-in, into the campground, will be asked to leave and possibly not come back. Please
be fair to me and I will reciprocate back to you. -Free guests most times for
all seasonal campers only. This is not intended for and does not include transients/overnighters. You can bring your friends and family to visit Medcalf for free at certain times, no extra
charges. Anyone over 18 years old wanting a tent on your site and staying over-night would have to pay the
tent site fee of $25.00 and/or get another site and pay the $25.00 fee, up to 4 adults. If over 18 and they sleep in
your RV when you are there then they are free. No more than 6 people on a site at a time unless approved by Karl as
waste disposal prohibits too many people. No more than two consecutive nights free for overnight guests
over 18 in a three week period when you are in the campground. 3rd night on, is at $8.00 per night. Any subletting, meaning if your guests are over 21 and staying overnight or visiting
during the day and you are not there then there is an $8.00 per day/night charge per person, whether it is for 1/2 hour or
24 hours. Must be approved in advance by calling Karl first and getting permission. Must be 21 years
of age or older. No exceptions! All subletting must be approved! All children 17 and younger can have an overnight tent on the site if it fits. Kids
17 years and younger always camp for free! We try not to nickel and dime you to death. A lot of campgrounds
will charge you extra for your children, friends, or family. Not always at Medcalf Acres Riverfront Campground!
When you sign up as a new seasonal immediate family
members and/or pets only are included. We welcome everyone! Immediate family means parents and immediate
children only. -Free pets, anytime. Some campgrounds charge extra for your pet.
Not at Medcalf Acres! Friendly and quiet pets welcome of course. Must be on a leash at all times and
cleaned up after.
- Also, no
dog runs or clothes lines of any kind allowed. They will be taken down by management. No more
warnings! This is a liability issue for the Campground and I can’t allow them to be up.
Also, no more than one picnic table per site
and/or 1 fire ring/ fireplace per site without my approval. Firewood can no longer be stacked more than 6 feet high
between trees or free standing. Thanks
to all of you who follow the rules! It is appreciated!
