Policies
Please be sure that anyone staying on your site knows and understands what is allowed. Anyone failing to abide by the rules will be asked to leave. Parents are responsible for their children’s behavior, safety and whereabouts at all times while within the campground.
We reserve the right to ask any camper(s) or guest whose conduct, in our opinion, is causing a disturbance, endangering life in any way, interfering with the orderly operation, or breaking the rules of the campground to leave the premises. Refunds will not be granted.
Our top priority during this unprecedented time is to protect the health, safety, and well-being of our campground visitors and staff.
Browntail Moths (BTM) are an invasive species native to Europe, neighboring Asian countries and the north coast of Africa, dating back to the 1500s. They were accidentally introduced to the United States in the 1890s and are now found only on the coast of Maine and on Cape Cod.
BTM caterpillars have tiny hairs that can cause a skin rash in some people, resulting from either direct contact with a caterpillar or from dislodged airborne hairs.
WNOC regularly sprayed to mitigate the BTM through 2019 when an unusually wet May resulted in a fungus that invaded the nests and mitigated their effect…until last summer, when it was too late in their lifecycle to spray. This year, we have gotten ahead of the problem by having the campground professionally and responsibly sprayed, while maintaining WNC’s surrounding farmlands’ organic certification. This will be a win-win situation for everyone…except the browntail moths!
Despite our very focused mitigation efforts, we cannot ensure that campers, other visitors or even staff will not be impacted by any browntail moths that aren’t eliminated by the spraying.
