Rules & Regulations
Please take a moment to read our rules and make all members of your party aware of them. Strawberry Park and all of our guests thank you and your family in advance for your cooperation.
Be considerate of other campers. Do not do such things as cut through other campsites, keep an untidy site, or act discourteously towards other campers. Please be aware of published check-in and check-out times. We welcome you to remain at Strawberry Park beyond checkout time at no charge, provided you park vehicles and camping unit in the field across from the main entrance, also used for early arrivals.
Strawberry Park reserves the right to evict without refund any person or persons who, in our judgment, are creating a disturbance or participating in or causing undesirable influence or behavior. Strawberry Park is not responsible for injuries, accidents, fire, theft, or loss of valuables.
PETS—We have recently become a pet-friendly resort. Please find our newly updated pet policy here.
BIKES— Bicycles and scooters must be ridden in a safe and responsible manner. This includes returning all bikes/scooters to your site by dusk—no bike riding after dark. Any bike/scooter left out after dark will be locked up overnight for the safety of the rider. The use of helmets is required for all cyclists under the age of 18. Please use bike racks when possible. There is no riding in the area of the rec center and playgrounds, walkways, stages or on the basketball courts. Strawberry Park reserves the right to impound any bike that is being ridden in an unsafe manner (including riding after dark) for the remainder of the camper’s stay. Skateboards are prohibited entirely, and roller blades may not be used in any area in which bikes are prohibited. See “Vehicles” below for permitted uses of electric scooters.
