We do, but the signal strength varies throughout the Camp-Resort. It’s best near the Ranger Station. We think this is the perfect time to disconnect and enjoy the great outdoors!
Where do I get firewood?
We have firewood available for purchase and delivery at The Outpost! Campers are not allowed to bring their own firewood due to state regulations. This is to prevent the spread of invasive species causing deforestation. To preserve the beauty of our wooded Camp-Resort, please do not cut down or damage trees in any way. Guests found in violation of damaging trees will be fined.
What is the speed limit?
Because the Camp-Resort is full of active families with children, the speed limit throughout the Camp-Resort is 5MPH and is strongly enforced for your safety. We realize that this is ridiculous. If you do not feel that you are driving ridiculously slow, then you are driving too fast.
