Camp Rules
Check-In & Check-Out Time
Check-in for campsites and cabins is 3 PM, check-out time is 11 AM.
Registration
Registration for campers and guests must be done at the office upon arrival.
Guest and Visitors
One unit (RV, trailer, pop-up, or tent), one additional vehicle, two adults, and two children (max 4 people) are included in your rate. Additional guests and vehicles must register at the office, extra fees will apply ($10/guest). Guests are welcome on the property until 9 PM.
Vehicles / Driving
Each site is limited to 2 vehicles, including campers and guests. All vehicles must be driven by a licensed adult. Please drive slowly and stick to the 5 MPH speed limit – kids are always out playing, so let’s keep everyone safe!
Quiet Hours
Quiet hours start at 10 pm without exceptions. Please turn off music and keep noise to a minimum in your RV or tent. Any disruptive behavior will result in an immediate loss of camping privileges without refunds.
Cancellations
Cancellations made 30 or more days prior to arrival will receive a full refund, minus a $35 processing fee. Cancellations within 29 days of arrival are non-refundable. Refunds are not provided for early departures or cancellations due to inclement weather.
Alcohol
Alcohol is allowed at your campsite. Please use cups when moving around the campground and avoid glass bottles for safety reasons.
Smoking
Smoking or vaping is prohibited inside any building on the premises, including rental units, the office, and bathrooms.
Pets
Pets are welcome at Manapogo! Please remember to keep them on a leash at all times and never leave them unattended. Each site can have up to two pets, and we kindly ask that you clean up after them using the nearest waste receptacle—failure to do so may result in a $150 fine. Please note, pets aren’t allowed inside campground buildings like the laundry room, bathhouse, or pavilion.
Firewood
To protect against invasive species, Indiana regulations prohibit bringing out-of-state firewood into the campground. Any firewood on-site must be stacked against your unit. Firewood is available for purchase at our store, and we’re happy to deliver it to your site!
Property Damage
Our trees are important to us. We ask that you do not cut down any standing trees (alive or dead). Please do not deface or damage trees with nails, axes, or saws. Do not string lights, laundry, or any other item from the trees.
Trash
Please dispose of all trash in the dumpsters provided– we don’t offer trash pickup. Large items like chairs, tables, grills, or awnings, as well as propane tanks, electronics, or unbroken cardboard boxes, can’t go in the dumpsters. Thanks for keeping the campground clean and tidy!
Tents
Tents are welcome but must stay within your RV site and off roadways. They’re for temporary use by guests under 18 and count toward the site’s 6-person max. Tents can’t be up for more than 4 consecutive days.
Beach / Lake
The beach is open daily from 8 AM to dusk. Swim at your own risk, as there’s no lifeguard on duty. Children 15 and under must always be supervised by an adult. The beach and lake are for property guests only; non-guests can inquire about day passes. Please keep music at a low volume, and remember that alcohol, glassware, pets, and diving are not allowed. Avoid hanging on the swim rope. Anyone under the influence of drugs or alcohol is prohibited.
