Arrival and Departure

​

Our policy

• You can check in between 1pm and 9pm on your scheduled arrival date.

• Please do not arrive before 1pm or after 9pm without approval. If you think you may arrive early or late, contact us before you arrive. We may be able to offer early check-in or late arrival for an additional fee, but it is not guaranteed.

• Your site may still be occupied before 1pm, and we may need time to clean and prepare it for you. After 9pm, staff is no longer be available to help you enter the park or get settled.

• You must leave the park by 11am on your scheduled departure date. If you need more time, contact us before 11am. We may be able to offer a late check-out for an additional fee, but it is not guaranteed.

• You, your rig, your family, and your belongings must stay within the site you paid for. Do not choose a different site, swap sites with another guest, or move on your own. Come see us first.

​

Why it matters

The park closes for the night at 9pm. After that, there may be no one available to check you in, open the office, guide you into your site, or help with parking, utilities, or gate access.

​

We do not have an after-hours arrival area, overflow parking, or a self-check-in process. You cannot arrive after closing and choose an empty site for the night.

​

Late arrivals also disturb guests who are already settled. Headlights, engines, backing alarms, setup noise, and conversations carry through the park after dark.

​

Do not force, lift, push, or drive around the gate. The gate is expensive and difficult to repair. Damage can leave the park unsecured or block access for other guests.

​

If you call ahead because of a short, unexpected delay, we may be able to help. That depends on staff availability and does not guarantee late check-in.

​

Speed Limit

 

Our policy

• The speed limit everywhere in the park is 7 mph.

• This applies to cars, trucks, RVs, motorcycles, golf carts, bicycles, e-bikes, scooters, and similar devices.

• Drive or ride slowly enough that you can stop immediately.

• Children may not race bicycles, scooters, or other devices through the park.

• If we ask you to slow down, you must slow down.

 

Why it matters

 

A campground is not a regular road. People step out from behind RVs, vehicles back out of sites, children cross the road, pets pull away from their handlers, and wildlife moves through the park.

​

Large RVs and trucks have blind spots. A driver may not see a child, small pet, bicycle, or person standing close to the vehicle.

Uneven ground, gravel, holes, hoses, cords, and sudden turns can cause a bicycle or scooter rider to fall. Even a low-speed collision can seriously injure a child, older adult, pedestrian, or pet.

​

Emergency medical care is limited and far away. The local fire department is volunteer-based and does not provide full emergency medical services. The nearest emergency room is in Crescent City, and a serious injury may require transfer to a larger hospital, sometimes by air.

​

Cell service is unreliable, which can delay calls for help or make it difficult to reach a child’s parent or another responsible adult.

A preventable accident can become a long and frightening emergency here.

 

The 7 mph limit is not a suggestion. It gives you more time to see a hazard, stop, and avoid hurting someone.

​

Remote Location and Emergency Care

 

Our policy

• Klamath River RV Park is in a rural area with limited cell service and limited access to emergency medical care.

• You are responsible for supervising your children, managing your pets, and taking reasonable care around vehicles, bicycles, the riverbank, uneven ground, wildlife, fires, and other outdoor hazards.

• Do not assume that emergency help, medical treatment, or veterinary care will be available quickly.

 

Why it matters

The local fire department is volunteer-based. Firefighters can provide basic help, but they are not a full emergency medical team.

 

The nearest emergency room is in Crescent City. It is a small hospital, and serious injuries or medical emergencies may require transfer to a larger hospital. That can mean several more hours of travel or an air ambulance.

​

Cell service is unreliable in parts of the park. You may have trouble calling 911, reaching a family member, or contacting someone who has left the campground.

​

Emergency veterinary care is even farther away. There is no local 24-hour emergency vet. Depending on the time, availability, road conditions, and construction, urgent veterinary care may require a drive of about three and a half hours to Southern Oregon.

​

A fall, dog fight, poisoning, vehicle accident, or other injury can become much more serious when treatment is far away.

That is why we take speed limits, child supervision, pet rules, fire safety, and riverbank restrictions seriously. Our policies and  rules are meant to prevent emergencies that may be difficult or impossible to manage quickly here.

​

​

Pet Care, Control, and Behavior

 

Our policy

• You are responsible for your pet’s safety, behavior, and effect on other guests, animals, and the surrounding environment.

• Your pet must be attached to a short physical leash whenever it is outside.

• Voice control, training, electronic collars, and calling your pet back do not replace a leash.

• Do not let your pet approach other people, pets, wildlife, vehicles, bicycles, or campsites without permission.

• Your pet may not be left outside alone.

• You may leave a pet inside your RV for a short time only if the RV is secure and climate-controlled, and the pet remains quiet, calm, and comfortable.

• Do not leave your pet behind if it barks, whines, cries, scratches, tries to escape, damages the RV or site, or causes concern for other guests.

• If we contact you about your pet, you must return immediately. We may tell you that the pet cannot be left alone again during your stay.

• Pick up all pet waste immediately and dispose of it in a trash receptacle.

• Aggressive, threatening, uncontrolled, or repeatedly disruptive animals are not permitted.

 

Why it matters

A leash protects more than your own pet.

​

Another guest may be walking a young, fearful, injured, elderly, or reactive dog. That dog may be safely leashed, but an unleashed animal approaching it can cause panic, injury, or a dog fight.

​

Even a friendly, highly trained dog can react unpredictably to wildlife, another animal, a sudden noise, a bicycle, or a moving vehicle. A leash gives you a way to physically prevent an encounter before it becomes an emergency.

​

This campground is also part of a larger natural habitat. Dogs can unintentionally chase or frighten wildlife, disturb birds and other animals, and enter sensitive areas. Keeping pets close and under physical control helps protect both the animal and the environment around us.

​

Pets may also encounter sharp or poisonous plants, mushrooms, discarded food, fish remains, and other hazards. As just one example, poison hemlock grows throughout the park and is fatally toxic to humans and animals when consumed.

​

Emergency veterinary care is not available nearby. Veterinary offices in Crescent City and Eureka have limited hours and may not accept new or emergency patients. The nearest dependable 24-hour emergency hospital may be in Southern Oregon, about three and a half hours away in good conditions. Construction, weather, road closures, and traffic can make that trip much longer.

A dog fight, vehicle strike, poisoning, heat emergency, escape, or other injury can quickly become life-threatening when help is hours away.

​

Leaving a pet inside an RV can also affect other guests. Barking, whining, and crying carry through the campground. Some people find those sounds upsetting because they believe the animal may be frightened, trapped, or in pain.

​

We cannot enter your RV to check on or comfort your pet. Cell service is unreliable, so we may also have trouble reaching you.

Pet waste creates odor and sanitation problems, attracts wildlife, and can be carried by rain and runoff into the surrounding environment and waterways. There is no place in the park where leaving pet waste behind is acceptable.

​

What this means during your stay​

​

• All pets, including those that reliably come when called, must be physically leashed whenever outside.

• Keep pets close enough to prevent unwanted contact with people, pets, wildlife, bicycles, vehicles, and neighboring campsites.

• A quiet pet may be left briefly inside a secure, climate-controlled RV.

• A barking, whining, crying, destructive, or anxious pet may not be left behind.

• Leaving your phone number does not make prolonged or disruptive unattended time acceptable.

• You must return immediately if we report a problem.

• Keep pets away from plants, mushrooms, food, fish remains, wildlife, and other animals.

• Bring any medication, food, first-aid supplies, and veterinary information your pet may need.

• Understand before you arrive that emergency veterinary care may require several hours of driving.

• Do not bring a pet that cannot be safely controlled or left without distress.

• Repeated barking, aggression, escapes, or policy violations may require removal of the pet or the end of your stay.

​

​

Unattended Pets, Pens, and Tie-Outs

​

Our policy

• Your pet may not be outside alone, even if restrained.

• Outdoor pens, "catios", portable fences, cages, kennels, enclosures, chains, and tie-outs are not permitted.

• A pen, exclosure, or fence does not replace a responsible person.

• This applies to dogs, cats, and all varieties of pets.

 

Why it matters

This is a wild, natural environment. An outdoor enclosure can create a false sense of safety.

​

Wildlife enters the campground both day and night, from the ground and from the air. Another guest's pet may also escape its handler.

​

An animal inside a pen or on a tie-out may be unable to move away from a threat. A frightened pet may jump, climb, dig under, break through, or become tangled in an enclosure or restraint.

​

Pens, fences, chains, and tie-outs can also create trip hazards, damage the grass, extend into another site, or interfere with vehicles and people.

​

Whenever your pet is outside, it must be physically leashed and accompanied by a responsible person.

​

Quiet Hours and Noise

​

Our policy

• Quiet hours are from 10pm to 8am.

• Keep voices, televisions, vehicles, pets, and all other noise low enough that nearby guests cannot clearly hear it.

• This rule applies all day, not only during quiet hours.

• Outdoor speakers and amplified outdoor music are not permitted.

• Do not use a generator unless it is truly needed, such as during a power outage, or management has approved it.

• Generators may not run during quiet hours unless there is an emergency.

 

Why it matters

Sound carries unusually far through this part of the river corridor.

​

We want you to have a good time: talk, laugh, cook, visit with friends, and enjoy your site! Just remember that your neighbors are here to enjoy their stay too.

​

The river, steep banks, trees, and surrounding terrain make sound echo across the park. A conversation that feels private inside your site may be heard clearly from the other end of the campground.

​

Music, televisions, sports broadcasts, barking dogs, engines, and generators carry even farther. Keep them at a low volume, or enjoy them inside your rig.

​

At night, there is less background noise, so even small sounds can wake people or keep them from sleeping.

​

Quiet hours are the minimum standard. Respect for your neighbors is expected all day.

​

Your positive experience matters to us; but it cannot come at the expense of someone else’s.

​

Drones and Remote-Controlled Devices

​

Our policy

• Do not fly a drone in the park unless management has approved it in advance.

• Do not use remote-controlled cars, boats, aircraft, or other fast, noisy, or intrusive devices unless management has approved them.

• Approval is not guaranteed.

 

Why it matters

We understand why the park looks like a wonderful place to fly a drone. The river, trees, wildlife, and surrounding landscape are beautiful.

​

But drones can make guests feel watched or recorded when they are trying to relax. Drones may fly directly over campsites, tents, vehicles, and outdoor living areas. Guests may not know whether they are being recorded or where the footage will be used.

 

We take care that park security cameras are limited to safety and property-protection purposes, and placed in selected shared areas. Personal drones create a different and much less controlled privacy concern.

​

Drones also disturb birds and other wildlife. They frighten pets, distract drivers, strike trees or power lines, and can lose control in sudden wind or fall into a campsite.

​

Remote-controlled cars and similar devices create many of the same problems on the ground. They can be loud, move quickly, enter another guest’s site, frighten pets or wildlife, and collide with people, vehicles, or equipment.

​

For all these reasons, drones and RC toys are not part of the experience we want to create here at Klamath River RV Park.

​

Campsites and Personal Space

 

Our policy

• You, your RV/tent, your family, and your belongings must stay within the site you paid for.

• Keep your site clean, orderly, and easy to move through.

• Do not spread belongings, tables, chairs, storage bins, toys, laundry, trash cans, cooking equipment, or other items around your site.

• Do not let your setup block the road, utilities, neighboring sites, shared spaces, or emergency access.

• Never walk, ride, drive, or take shortcuts through another guest’s campsite.

• Never move into a different site or take up space in an empty site without management approval.

 

Why it matters

Your campsite is your temporary space, but it is still part of a shared campground. Your site needs to remain clean, contained, and orderly.

​

Bringing too much equipment and spreading it across the site can create clutter, trip hazards, blocked access, and problems for neighboring guests. It can also make it harder to reach utility connections, move vehicles, supervise children, or respond quickly in an emergency.

​

Keeping your belongings within your site also protects other guests’ privacy. Do not use an empty site as extra space, and do not cross through someone else’s site because it is the shortest route.

​

Bring what you can safely and comfortably keep within the space you reserved. If your group, vehicles, equipment, or belongings do not fit, you may need another site or a different type of campground.

​

Tents and Outdoor Structures

 

Our policy

• Tents may not be placed on RV sites without management approval.

• Tents intended for sleeping or human occupancy may be approved only where the site has enough safe space and suitable ground.

• Pop-up canopies, shade structures, screen rooms, awnings not attached to the RV, portable shelters, and similar structures are not permitted.

• All approved tents and structures must be properly secured and removed immediately if weather conditions become unsafe.

 

Why it matters

Almost daily, strong winds develop suddenly at the park, sometimes with little warning, and may stop just as quickly.

​

Pop-up canopies and lightweight shade structures can catch the wind like a sail. They can lift, collapse, or travel into another campsite, vehicle, RV, person, pet, utility connection, or piece of park property. This can happen even when the structure has been staked or weighted down.

​

A tent designed for sleeping is different from an open-sided canopy because it is typically lower to the ground, fully secured, and occupied or weighted by camping equipment. Even so, tents are allowed only where management determines that the site and conditions are suitable.

​

Guests who place or use a structure in violation of park policy are responsible for any resulting damage, injury, cleanup, or recovery costs. The park is not responsible for damage to the structure or to other property caused by an unauthorized or improperly secured item.

​

Outdoor Mats

 

Our policy

• Large outdoor mats are not permitted. A small welcome mat at the RV entrance is acceptable.​

• Tents, rugs, tarps, and other ground coverings may not be placed on grass unless management has approved them.

 

Why it matters

We recognize that the park does not have golf-course-quality grass. We are still working to improve and restore the grounds, and even a short stay can set that work back.

​

Large mats, tents, rugs, and tarps block light and air, trap moisture, and compress the grass beneath them. Visible damage can occur in as little as two or three days, especially during warm weather or when the ground is damp.

​

Protecting the grass helps reduce bare patches, mud, dust, erosion, and the ongoing cost of repairing campsites. A small welcome mat gives guests a clean place to step without covering a large section of the site.

​​​

Laundry and Clotheslines

 

Our policy

• Laundry, towels, bedding, swimsuits, and other clothing may not be hung or displayed outside.

• Do not attach clotheslines or hanging items to trees, utilities, buildings, signs, fences, vehicles, or park equipment.

• Wet items must be dried inside the guest’s RV or tent, or in the park laundry facility.

• Do not leave laundry unattended in the laundry room.

 

Why it matters

Outdoor laundry changes the appearance of the campground and affects the experience of nearby guests. We understand that some campgrounds allow clotheslines and outdoor drying. Klamath River RV Park does not.

​

Keeping laundry inside helps preserve a clean, orderly, and welcoming appearance throughout the park.

​

The laundry facility is shared. Unattended loads may prevent other guests from using the equipment and may be moved when necessary.

​

Riverbank Safety

 

Our policy

• Stay back from the riverbank and remain behind all ropes, barriers, signs, cones, posts, and other warning markers.

• Swimming, wading, climbing down the bank, or entering the river from park property is not permitted.

• Pets must remain on a short physical leash at all times, especially near the riverbank.

• Do not allow children or pets to approach the edge.

• Do not move barriers, create access paths, or damage vegetation along the bank.

 

Why it matters

The Klamath River is powerful, cold, and unpredictable. People drown in this area, including experienced boaters and swimmers. Strong currents, deep holes, submerged hazards, and rapidly changing conditions can make rescue extremely difficult. A person who enters the water to help someone else can quickly become another victim.

​

The campground does not have a beach, dock, boat launch, or developed river-access area. The bank includes steep drops, unstable soil, erosion, brush, mud, and hidden edges. From above, the drop may be difficult to see.

​

Dogs are especially vulnerable because they may not recognize that the ground ends at a steep drop. A dog can step or jump over the edge before its handler has time to react. Once in the river, steep banks and strong currents may make it impossible for the animal to climb back out.

​

No lifeguard is present, and emergency rescue may be delayed because of the park’s remote location. These restrictions apply even when the river appears calm or shallow.

​

Fishing

​

Our policy

• Klamath River RV Park does not provide or recommend fishing access from the campground.

• Guests may not climb down the riverbank, cross safety barriers, damage vegetation, or create paths to reach the water.

• The park provides a designated fish-cleaning station for registered guests. Fish may not be cleaned at campsites, picnic tables, restrooms, water connections, or other shared areas.

• Guests may also use the park photo display to photograph their catch.

• All anglers are responsible for knowing and following current fishing laws, including licensing, seasons, closures, permitted species, catch limits, size limits, report-card requirements, and gear restrictions.

 

Why it matters

The campground does not have a dock, boat launch, beach, fishing platform, or developed shoreline-access area. The riverbank is steep, muddy, overgrown, unstable, and difficult to navigate. Fishing lines and hooks may become caught in brush, roots, debris, or other material along the bank. Attempting to retrieve snagged equipment can tempt people to move closer to an unsafe edge or climb into an area not intended for access.

​

Fishing rules on and around the Klamath River are complex and change by season, location, species, water conditions, and fishery status. California generally requires anglers age 16 or older to hold a valid sport-fishing license, and fishing for certain species may also require report cards or compliance with special Klamath River rules. Even California’s designated free-fishing days do not suspend catch limits, closures, gear restrictions, or applicable report-card requirements.

​

The park does not monitor guests’ licenses, catches, or compliance and cannot advise guests whether fishing is legal on a particular day. Each angler is personally responsible for confirming current requirements before fishing.

 

Plan your fishing

Review current licenses and regulations through the California Department of Fish and Wildlife before fishing. The department’s online Fishing Guide also identifies public access, boat launches, regulations, and license sales locations.

​

Wildlife, Food, and Trash

​

Our policy

• Never leave food, trash, coolers, pet food, cooking residue, fish remains, or other scented items outside unattended.

• Do not leave an open or unsecured trash can outside your RV, tent, or campsite.

• Place ordinary household trash inside the designated dumpster. Do not leave trash beside or on top of it.

• Do not feed, approach, follow, touch, or attempt to attract wildlife.

• Keep campsites clean and free of food scraps and loose trash.

 

Why it matters

Wildlife is active throughout the park, including bears, jays, crows, and other animals.

​

A small trash can left outside may seem harmless, especially to guests who are accustomed to doing this at other campgrounds. Here, jays and crows quickly learn where food and trash are available. They may climb into containers, knock them over, tear through bags, and scatter garbage throughout the campsite.

​

This creates a mess for the guest, attracts more wildlife, and leaves food scraps, plastic, hooks, foil, bones, and other hazards where pets, children, and animals may encounter them.

​

Trash and scented items left outside overnight can also attract bears and other larger wildlife. Animals that repeatedly obtain food from campsites may become bolder and more dangerous.

​

All food, trash, and scented items must therefore be secured inside a vehicle, RV, hard-sided container, or designated dumpster whenever they are not actively being used.

​

Feeding Wildlife

 

Our policy

• Do not feed jays, crows, ravens, ducks, or any other wildlife, intentionally or indirectly.

• Do not toss food scraps onto the ground, leave food where birds can take it, or encourage wildlife to approach people or campsites.

 

Why it matters

Wild birds may come very close because they have learned that campgrounds provide easy food. Feeding them can feel harmless and enjoyable, but it changes their natural behavior and encourages them to return to campsites, approach people, steal unattended food, and scatter trash.

​

Jays, crows, and ravens are naturally capable of eating eggs and nestlings. Human food and unsecured garbage can concentrate these birds around campgrounds and increase pressure on the nests of other native birds.

​

Feeding wildlife also teaches animals to associate people with food. This can make them more persistent, aggressive, and dependent on developed areas rather than natural food sources.

​

Enjoy wildlife from a distance, but do not feed it. Securing even small scraps helps protect the entire habitat, not just the animal in front of you.

​

Fires, Grills, and Heat Sources

 

Our policy

• Wood fires are not permitted at RV sites.

• Use only fire rings provided or approved by the park in locations where wood fires are allowed.

• Propane fire pits and grills may be used only when conditions allow and when operated safely.

• Never leave a fire, grill, propane appliance, or other heat source unattended. Extinguish all flames completely before leaving the area or going to sleep.

• No flame or heat-producing appliance may be used during a posted fire ban.

• Fireworks are prohibited.

 

Why it matters

The park is surrounded by vegetation and may experience dry, windy, or high-fire-risk conditions. A small spark, ember, overturned appliance, or unattended flame can create a serious emergency.

​

Fire restrictions may change quickly because of weather, government orders, or local conditions. Management may prohibit otherwise permitted equipment when necessary.

​

Utilities

​

Our policy

• Use only the electrical, water, and sewer connections assigned to your site.

• Do not open, modify, repair, bypass, or tamper with utility equipment.

• Do not connect equipment that exceeds the electrical capacity of the assigned site.

• Report damaged outlets, breakers, water connections, sewer hookups, leaks, sparks, burning odors, or other utility concerns immediately.

 

Why it matters

Campground utility systems differ from residential systems and have limited capacity. Unauthorized repairs, adapters, modifications, or high-draw equipment can damage the system, interrupt service, cause leaks, or create electrical and fire hazards.

​

Water pressure, electrical service, Wi-Fi, and other utilities may be affected by weather, demand, maintenance, equipment failure, or circumstances outside the park’s control.

​

Sewer and Septic Protection

​

Our policy

• Only septic-safe waste and toilet paper may enter toilets, sinks, drains, or sewer hookups.

• Do not place wipes, grease, food, chemicals, hygiene products, diapers, paper towels, or other non-septic-safe materials into the sewer system.

• Sewer hoses must be secure, leak-free, and properly connected.

• Do not rinse or wash sewer hoses at picnic tables, drinking-water connections, restrooms, or other public areas.

 

Why it matters

The park relies on septic systems that can be damaged or disabled by materials commonly labeled flushable or disposable.

​

A sewer failure can affect the entire campground, require costly emergency work, and create serious sanitation problems.

​

Picnic tables, drinking-water connections, and shared facilities must never be used for sewer equipment.

​

Vehicles, Visitors, and Occupancy

​

Our policy

• A maximum of two vehicles is permitted per site unless management approves otherwise.

• The maximum occupancy is six people per campsite.

• Visitors must comply with all park policies. Overnight visitors must register with the office and pay any applicable fee.

• Guests are responsible for the conduct of their visitors.

• Commercial activity, parties, group events, and organized gatherings require prior management approval.

 

Why it matters

Each campsite has limited space for vehicles, people, equipment, utility connections, and safe movement. Additional vehicles or guests can block roads, crowd neighboring sites, damage landscaping, interfere with hookups, and prevent emergency vehicles or large RVs from moving through the park.

​

Occupancy limits also protect the shared systems that serve the campground. More people create additional demand on restrooms, laundry, water, septic systems, parking, trash service, and common areas.

​

Visitors affect the park even when they are staying only briefly. They use roads, facilities, parking, and shared spaces, and they may bring children, pets, vehicles, or equipment that create additional impact.

​

The registered guest is responsible for making sure every visitor understands and follows park policies. A guest cannot avoid responsibility by saying that a visitor, child, or other member of the party caused the problem.

​

If vehicles, visitors, or group activity create unsafe conditions, excessive noise, blocked access, overcrowding, property damage, or repeated policy violations, management may require vehicles or visitors to leave. Serious or continued violations may result in termination of the stay without a refund.

​

Children and Supervision

​

For purposes of these policies, a child is any person under 18 years of age. Parents, guardians, and responsible adults remain accountable for the location, conduct, and safety of every child in their party.

​

The level of supervision may reasonably vary by age and maturity, but children may never be left to roam the park without appropriate adult oversight.

​

Our policy

• Children must be supervised by a responsible adult.

• A responsible adult must know where children are, what they are doing, and whether their behavior is safe and considerate.

• Children may not play in roads, around utility equipment, near the riverbank, inside restricted areas, or in other guests’ campsites.

• Bicycles, scooters, e-bikes, and similar devices must be operated safely and at no more than 7 mph.

• Parents and guardians are responsible for any injury, disruption, or property damage caused by children in their party.

 

Why it matters

The campground includes moving vehicles, large RVs with limited visibility, electrical pedestals, sewer connections, hoses, cords, uneven ground, holes, wildlife, unfamiliar pets, and a steep riverbank.

​

The park does not provide childcare or continuous supervision. That responsibility belongs to the adults who brought the child to the park.

​

A child who is not appropriately supervised can enter another guest’s campsite, approach an unfamiliar animal, ride into traffic, interfere with utilities, damage property, or reach the riverbank before an adult can intervene.

​

Emergency medical care is not close by. An injury that might receive prompt treatment in a city can result in a lengthy wait, transportation to Crescent City, or transfer to a larger hospital.

​

If a child repeatedly behaves unsafely, enters other campsites, damages property, or disrupts other guests, management may require the activity to stop. Serious or continued problems may result in the family being required to leave the park without a refund.

​

Front Gate and Security

​

Our policy

• If the front gate is down, use the gate code provided with the reservation or check-in information.

• Do not force, lift, push, hold, or manually move the gate arm.

• Do not move or tamper with sensors, reflectors, cameras, controls, poles, or other gate equipment.

• Do not share the gate code with anyone who is not a registered guest or authorized visitor.

 

Why it matters

The gate helps control access to the property and protect guests, staff, and park equipment.

​

Following another vehicle too closely, forcing the arm, or interfering with sensors can damage the system and may cause injury or vehicle damage.

​

The gate and selected areas of the property may be monitored by video for safety, security, and property protection.

​

Respectful Conduct

 

Our policy

• We want every guest to feel welcome, respected, and able to enjoy their stay. Park staff will make every reasonable effort to communicate clearly, treat guests fairly, and address concerns with courtesy.​

• Guests are expected to extend that same respect to staff, other guests, visitors, park property, wildlife, and the natural environment.​

• Follow reasonable directions from park staff promptly. If staff asks you to slow down, leash your pet, supervise your children, remove laundry, reduce noise, move a vehicle, secure trash, or correct another policy violation, please cooperate respectfully.

• Guests are welcome to ask questions or request clarification.

• Disagreement with a policy does not excuse hostile, threatening, abusive, intimidating, or deliberately disruptive behavior.​

• Do not harass, threaten, shout at, follow, record, or interfere with another guest or staff member in a way that violates reasonable privacy or makes them feel unsafe. Retaliation against someone for reporting a concern is not permitted.

​

Why it matters

 

Your experience matters to us. So does the experience of every other guest in the park.

​

Most concerns can be resolved quickly through a calm conversation and simple cooperation. When staff addresses a problem, the purpose is not to embarrass or criticize anyone. It is to protect safety, preserve the park, and make sure one guest’s choices do not diminish someone else’s stay.

​

• If you are asked to slow down, it is because someone could be injured.

• If you are asked to supervise a child, it is because the child may be at risk or may be affecting other guests.

• If you are asked to leash a pet, remove laundry, reduce noise, secure trash, or take down a canopy, it is because the behavior conflicts with a park policy or creates a safety, wildlife, appearance, or neighbor concern.

​

We encourage guests to ask always a respectful question or request clarification. It is not effective to argue indefinitely, refuse to comply while debating the rule, direct anger at staff, or make the interaction hostile.

​

We encourage guests to respectfully explain a situation or ask why a rule applies. However, the issue still needs to be corrected while that conversation takes place.

​

Park policies apply consistently to all guests, regardless of how long they have stayed with us, their occupation or public profile, their social or professional status, or their personal circumstances. Familiarity, influence, good intentions, and previous exceptions do not create an entitlement to different prices or different rules. Reasonable accommodations required by law will, of course, be honored.

​

Staff and guests should will not endure insults, threats, aggressive behavior, repeated argument, or deliberate refusal to comply.

​

Our goal is not to create confrontation. It is to provide a safe, peaceful, and enjoyable experience for everyone. Prompt and respectful cooperation helps us do that.

 

Hostility, retaliation, or refusal to follow park policies will result in the stay being ended without a refund.

​

Damage and Additional Charges

​

Our policy

Guests are responsible for damage, loss, excessive cleanup, or extraordinary service costs caused by themselves, their children, visitors, pets, vehicles, recreational vehicles, equipment, or other members of their party.

Do not damage, alter, remove, or tamper with signs, barriers, landscaping, utilities, gates, cameras, buildings, fire rings, or other park property.

The park may charge the responsible guest for reasonable repair, replacement, cleanup, disposal, service, or recovery costs to the extent permitted by law.

​

Why it matters

Damage and unusual cleanup create costs that should be borne by the person responsible rather than by other guests or the park as a whole.

Reporting accidental damage promptly may help prevent a minor problem from becoming more serious.

​

Personal Property

​

Our policy

Guests are responsible for securing and protecting their vehicles, recreational vehicles, tents, equipment, and personal belongings.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Klamath River RV Park is not responsible for loss, theft, or damage to personal property resulting from weather, fire, water, wildlife, falling limbs, utility interruptions, criminal activity, accidents, or the actions of other guests or third parties.

 

Why it matters

Camping takes place in an outdoor, shared environment. The park cannot monitor or control every natural condition, visitor, vehicle, animal, or personal item.

Guests should lock vehicles, secure valuables, monitor weather, and take reasonable precautions for their belongings.

​

Natural Conditions and Assumption of Risk

​

Our policy

Guests must exercise reasonable care for themselves, their children, visitors, pets, vehicles, equipment, and belongings.

Known hazards or unsafe conditions should be reported to management promptly.

Why it matters

Camping and outdoor recreation involve inherent and other risks. Conditions may include wildlife, insects, falling limbs, uneven or unstable ground, holes, weather, smoke, fire, erosion, water, vehicle traffic, utility equipment, and the conduct of other people or animals.

By entering or staying at the park, guests acknowledge these conditions and voluntarily assume the ordinary risks associated with camping, outdoor recreation, and staying on the property.

​

Emergencies and Limited Cellular Service

​

Our policy

• Cellular service is extremely limited, varies by carrier, and may be completely unavailable in parts of the campground. Guests should not rely on consistent cellular coverage.

• For an immediate emergency, call 911 if able. Tell the dispatcher that you are at Klamath River RV Park and provide the park’s street address and your site number or location.

• If 911 cannot be reached, seek assistance at the office or from park staff.

• Notify management as soon as reasonably possible after contacting emergency services.

 

Why it matters

The park is in a rural area, and cellular, internet, and emergency response conditions may differ from those in a city.

​

Wi-Fi calling may be available depending on the guest’s device, carrier, settings, and the park’s internet service. Emergency calls made through Wi-Fi may not automatically provide the correct physical location.

​

Guests should be prepared to state their location clearly:

Klamath River RV Park

700 West Klamath Beach Road

Klamath, CA

Management Authority and Enforcement

 

Our policy

• Management may interpret and enforce these policies as reasonably necessary to protect guests, staff, property, utilities, wildlife, and park operations.

• Guests and visitors may be directed to stop conduct that is unsafe, disruptive, unlawful, damaging, or contrary to park policy.

• Serious or repeated violations may result in removal from the property without a refund.

• Failure to enforce a policy on one occasion does not waive the park’s right to enforce it later.

• Policies may be updated as park operations, conditions, facilities, systems, or legal requirements change.

 

Why it matters

Written policies cannot anticipate every situation that may arise in a shared outdoor environment.

​

Management must be able to respond to hazards, changing conditions, disruptive behavior, and unforeseen circumstances.

 

Consistent rules protect the park community, but management also retains discretion to address unusual situations appropriately.

​

​

A guest’s belief that an exception would be safe or reasonable does not require the park to grant that exception.
