Do I need to make reservations?Reservations are almost always suggested. Even if you call on the same day, it can sometimes make a difference in availability. If you have any of the following requirements, early reservations are highly recommended:
How soon you need to reserve depends on when you'll be visiting us. Holiday weekends, particularly Memorial Day and Labor Day, book early. These times are very busy with our "regular" local friends, many of whom book their favorite site up to a year in advance.
The quietest time of the season is the period preceding and following Memorial Day weekend. Once the kids get out of school in mid- to late-June, we enter our peak season. The last week in August has become a slower time, with many families heading home to prepare their kids for the new school year.
After Labor Day when the kids go back to school, we generally see many retirees with their big rigs. The larger full hookup sites are the most popular at this time, particularly as foliage season nears. Leaf-peepers come from all over to see the wonderful fall show, particularly toward the end of September through mid-October. The Columbus Day weekend (October 9th-12th in 2009) is a popular New England holiday for tourists and locals alike.
Those who have smaller camping equipment like tents and RV under 25' have the most leeway at any time of year, particularly if you can "rough it" with just electric and water. When do you start taking reservations?Reservations can be made at any time. How can I reserve a site in the off-season? The easiest and best way is to reserve is at our Secure Reservation Page. (When you click on "Reserve Now" check your browser lock and the https://. It really is secure!) You will generally have a confirmed reservation within 24 hours; most often much sooner.
You may also fill out the Unsecured Email Form. This form gets delivered to our email address without any credit card information and requires a follow-up deposit. You may choose to send a check in the mail, or for us to call you back to get a credit card number over the phone. Back to TopWhat is the deposit/cancellation on a site?Campsite deposits, non-holiday
