THE ACCESS

Full-day access to trails and picnic areas

The Day Visitor Pass opens the campground for daytime use: visitors may explore on-property trails and use picnic spaces while the pass is valid during posted visitor hours.

THE PRACTICALS

Seamless entry with a QR-code pass

Visitor access is digital: each pass is issued as a QR code that serves as proof of authorized entry and may be requested on arrival or during the visit.

THE PET RULES

Bring pets — within clear limits

Pets are permitted with conditions: bookings allow up to two pets per reservation with an add-on fee per pet; animals must be leashed and owners must clean up after them. Aggressive animals or breeds with a known history of aggression are not allowed.

What the day feels like

What a day with a visitor pass feels like

A Day Visitor Pass turns a single campsite into a temporary gathering place: guests arrive, show the QR-code pass, and join registered campers for a day of trail walks, picnic meals and time outdoors on private property. The pass is designed for daytime social visits and provides uncomplicated access to the campsite’s outdoor amenities during the posted hours.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this access pass suits — and who should think twice.

1
Registered campers hosting friendsAn ideal option for campers who want day visitors onsite without altering their reservation; hosts should be prepared to share their QR-code pass and follow site rules.
2
Pet owners with compliant animalsGood for visitors traveling with pets provided they’re within the two-pet limit, leashed, and not of a prohibited aggressive history; an add-on fee applies per pet.
3
Day visitors seeking outdoor timeWell suited to visitors who want a daytime escape onto private trails and picnic spaces; the pass covers access but is limited to posted visitor hours.
4
Groups with large or high-risk animalsNot ideal for groups that would exceed the two-pet cap or who travel with animals that have a known history of aggression — such animals are explicitly excluded.
