CAMP RULES

• We have obtained permission to pitch tents on the "Activity Field", but all vehicles must remain in designated parking areas at all times. (Yes, this includes motorcycles) You must carry your tent and sleeping gear to your tent site, not drive your bike over to drop it off. The lawns and grassy areas at this site are very fragile because of the extremely dry climate, and this year is shaping up to be even drier than usual. If the grass is damaged, it likely will not get enough water to recover.

• State wide Idaho park policy is zero tolerance for any type of fireworks within park boundaries. This includes all of Three Meadows Group Camp. In addition, Dworshak State Park property is leased from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and therefore subject to their federal rules and regulations. They also enforce zero tolerance. The same is true of the Forest Service. State and county laws essentially state that if it "goes up or blows up", it's against the law. In addition, individuals in the state of Idaho who start a structure or forest fire are liable for the entire cost of damages and fire suppression. It is already looking to be a potentially bad fire year.

• All Idaho State Park rules are in effect, and we have agreed to obey them. Thanks for understanding and cooperating. (Text below is taken directly from the reservation form we signed)
  1. We encourage you to leave your pets at home. However, if you do bring your pets, they must be kept on a leash that is no more than 6 feet in length. Pets are not permitted in any of the buildings.
