2018 Season –CAMPGROUND RULES & REGULATIONS
Keeler Bay Campground rules and regulations have been developed to insure an enjoyable experience for all campers. Keeler Bay Campground assumes no responsibility for any accident or injury to person or property resulting from any non-compliance with these rules and regulations and requires that campers make every effort to maintain a safe environment for all.
Keeler Bay Campground operates a seasonal campground that hosts trailers and RVs and the seasonal ambiance must be maintained. Our camping season begins May 1 and terminates on October 15 for the 2018 season. As such, all sites must be maintained in such a manner as to allow for mobility of all vehicles and/or structures. Management will strictly regulate all add-on items such as porches, decks, storage sheds, skirting, TV dishes, etc. Any modification to any campsite requires prior management approval. Please note that the following rules apply to both “seasonal” and “overnight” campers.
No one shall identify Keeler Bay Campground as their legal residence from October 16, 2017 through April 30, 2018. Campers, recreational vehicles, and boats may be stored for a fee during the off season. Access to personal belongings between October 16 and April 30 may be granted at the discretion of management.
Modifications or amendments to these rules and regulations may be adopted as necessary with prior written notice to all campers.
All seasonal campers must be in possession of a current PERMIT for the current camping season allowing use of the facility. If any camper is delinquent on any fees due or is found in violation of any of these attached Rules and Regulations the seasonal permit may be revoked and the camper may be asked to leave the property and remove all personal belongings. If the camper does not remove all personal belongings upon request of campground ownership, the ownership may remove the belongings at the expense of the camper in accordance with the laws of the State of Vermont, including without limitation, Chapter 138 of Title 9 of the Vermont Statutes Annotated and 9 V.S.A. § 4452(7).
