Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance do I need to request a reservation?
All reservation requests or changes to an existing reservation must be requested 15 days or more prior to the event date. We are unable to guarantee accommodations within 15 days of the event date. Reservations can be made up to one year in advance from the event date.

Will the facility be set up upon our arrival?

You are responsible for removing your personal belongings and anything you want to keep that you brought. We ask that you place all event-generated trash into the trash can that will be provided. Our staff will be responsible for taking out the trash, breaking down tables and chairs, and all general cleaning of the facility.
Will there be a staff member on site for our event?
Rather than having staff on-site for the duration of every rental, your event may be managed by mobile staff. We will continue to provide setup and cleanup duties and staff will always be available by phone and only a short drive away. You will either be met by staff at the start of your rental or the facility will be unlocked. We will periodically check on your group and contact information will be placed on the refrigerator during each rental. We understand that your event is an important day and we will do everything we can to make sure you have a wonderful experience enjoying our park facilities while you connect with family and friends.
