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.
