RULES, REGULATIONS & POLICIES

Thank you for choosing Piney River Resort LLC (“Resort”).  We look forward to your visit. Please carefully review our Resort rules, regulations and policies. By entering the Resort you represent that you have signed our Release & Waiver.  While we do guarantee a rental unit type or site type and do our best to accommodate specific site and rental unit requests, this is not always possible. The Resort offers an option to lock-in your requested site, cabin, airstream or rental RV for a modest fee. Anyone using these facilities must do so with the understanding that the Resort is provided as a recreational facility only, and it may not be used as a permanent residence. Only one RV per site is permitted without prior permission. ALL GUESTS MUST MAINTAIN APPROPRIATE INSURANCE; your RVs and other personal property are not covered by the Resort’s insurance. If you are asked to leave for any reason by the management of the Resort, you must do so immediately, or law enforcement will be notified, and you will be treated as a trespasser. If we are forced to ask you to leave for violation of our rules, regulations, or policies there will be no refunds issued. The Resort is under video surveillance. At any time, staff may request photo identification from any guest. Failure to provide such identification may result in immediate removal from the Resort. These rules and regulations can be modified at any time.
