Site Selection Policy:

Please note that when placing a reservation we cannot guarantee a specific site number. Whenever possible, we give current guests the opportunity to renew their sites before new guests arrive. If you have a reservation, you are guaranteed a suitable spot with the services you were promised. We just won’t know which exact site it will be until your arrival. Current guests will not be allowed to renew if there is nowhere else that is suitable for arrivals who have pre-booked. Most of the time we do have a number of spots open when people check-in and, if so, you’ll be able to take your pick from what is available.
