If you have discourteous neighbors or utility outages, please call us!

Weather Emergencies: If the fire siren sounds a high pitch for an extended time, it is a severe weather emergency. We recommend you seek shelter at the main building Rec. Hall or at the East Mead Fire Hall immediately. The Fire Hall is one mile West of the campground on Rt. 27.

Missing Child/Person Emergency: An air horn alarm being sounded by campground management, campground employee, or other designate is a missing person alarm. Your entire camping family and all visitors must report to your campsite, lock your camping unit, and all motor vehicles, and report to the Rec. Hall immediately. You must register as accounted for with the member of management at the Rec. Hall, sit down, and await an all clear. In addition, only adult volunteers (over 21) may be members of a search party.
