Making an account in our database is the first step of becoming a member. This is accomplished by clicking the Reservations dropdown option “Create Account”  You can bypass the credit card registration, but please make sure all other fields are completed. Otherwise, we’ll have to take the time to complete this process upon check-in which will delay your registration. When you arrive to camp, Guest Services will present your membership form and charge you for the membership.  Membership rates are posted HERE.  A valid government issued photo ID showing your current address is mandatory. The Woods Campground has two options for memberships: A full season membership which expires on the last day of the current camping season or a 7 consecutive day temporary membership for guests who aren’t planning a return visit in the current camping season.

PERMANENT CAMPSITES:  We had a waiting list for these sites prior to constructing our expansion area a few years back and even after filling all the sites that were intended for perms, we still had over 100 people left on the list.  We do not have plans to construct additional perm sites, so we stopped adding people to our waiting list.  Our rate of 1 to 2 sites a year that are not renewed means it will be over 50 years before we reach the end of the current list.  Some perms decide to sell their items on their campsite and often that includes the right to “take over” that site as a new perm camper.  Before you agree to this, ask if they have been cleared by camp ownership to do that.  Or email Woody with questions.  If a perm site is put up for sale, it will be listed on our Seasonal Sites Page.

FULL SEASON WEEKEND RESERVATION SITES:  Many regular Woods campers have offered to book the same site for the entire season.  So many, in fact, that we started this program with select sites.  We do not include all camp sites because that won’t leave enough sites for those who only plan a few visits per season.  If you would like to be notified when we offer these sites during the winter, send your request HERE.  Regular weekend rates apply.  There are no discounts for this program and storage fees are not included.  Prior season program participants get first right of renewal.  The program is not transferable if you sell your camping equipment.

FIELD PERMS:  There are a number of Woods campers who utilize our field camping areas.  These sites include electric and potable water in the rows at the bottom of the center field and along Diversity Way and pay one price for all nights of the camping season.  If you want to be considered for this type of site, send your request HERE

OVERFLOW PERMS:  Some Woods campers really enjoy the environment of the overflow field.  Consistent guests may be allowed to keep their camper in the same spot for the entire season.  Storage fees are additional with this option.  Interested in this program?  Submit your request HERE.

When inquiring about any of these options, please be specific in naming the type of site as titled above.

Each year, we announce a specific date and time when online reservations will launch for that year’s camping season.  This is usually scheduled for the first Saturday in March.

We do not take reservations for future seasons because there are often campsite area improvements which may result in a different camp layout.

In addition to camp facility improvements, we are always working to improve our reservation and customer management system which may disable parts of it while the work in being done in the off season.

REGULAR CAMPSITES:  Campsites at The Woods get reserved quickly once our annual online reservation system launches in early March.  Weekends often sell out, after which your only options are camping in our overflow fields or getting added to our waiting list.  You can add yourself to our waiting list during the online reservation process.  If the site amenities you’re seeking are not available, choose the button “Add me to Waiting List.”  When logged into your account, you can review and edit your Waiting List.  You can also ask Guest Services to add you, but you must have an account in our system so we have the means to communicate with you if a site becomes available.

• 15 days prior to the arrival day:  90% of payment
• 8-14 days prior to the arrival day:  50% of payment
• 7 days or less will forfeit your payment

During the online reservation process, you will be presented with the Flex option check box which will add a 15% premium to your camping rates but will give you the option for a no questions asked refund of the reservation payment.  The refund amount follows the same timeline as above based on when you cancel in relation to your arrival day.

When you make a reservation using Flex Rate, your reservation will indicate this.  Just log into your account and click Reservations to confirm your reservations.

Note:  Refunds will only be for your reservation payment.

We have three options for visiting The Woods Campground.

1. Booking a campsite for Overnight Camping

2. Being a guest on someone else’s campsite (transient or perm site)

3. Buying a day or night pass for a designated period of time (but never overnight).  Day pass options are HERE

To get a quote for camping at The Woods, we have a Rate tool (coming soon).  Or during the online reservation period, you can enter in your desired dates and amenities using the FIND A SITE tool.  Our system will present all the options that are available as well as the associated fees.

Please note that a current season membership is also required.  See “How do I get a membership?” above.

The Woods Campground Daily Passes allow you access to everything at the resort during the daily pass period.  This is perfect for guests who live in close proximity or who have accommodations at a nearby hotel or short term rental.  In order to stay overnight, you will have to upgrade your pass and settle any difference in fees based on your accommodations.  You do not have to pre-reserve daily passes and these passes are not limited in number each day.  Daily pass periods are:

• Friday or Saturday Day Pass is 10:00am to 6:00pm.  Night Pass is 6:00pm to 2:00am.  Combo pass is 10:00am to 2:00am.
• Sunday* – Thursday Day Pass is 10:00am to 8:00pm.  * Holiday weekend Sunday’s follow the normal weekend time frames.

There is also a Seasonal Daily Pass which allows you free access during any day pass period the entire season long.

Daily pass use requires a valid Woods Campground membership.  Please visit THIS page for Daily Pass costs.

There is limited electric in each of these camping areas.  In Overflow, there are poles with multiple 15 amp outlets which guests can pay a fee to access.  These will not power air conditioners or heaters.  See Guest Services to arrange this electric on a first come, first served basis. When you buy electric, you will be given a tag to identify your plug and a cash register receipt to prove your payment.  Any disputes between guests about who is assigned to outlets should be brought to the attention of Guest Services.  In the Tenting Grove, there are multiple outlets that guests should share.  There is no cost for this electric. You must provide your own extension cords to reach your outlet.  Safety consideration should guide you when running your cord.  Please avoid tripping hazards and be sure to use the correct gauge wire to accommodate your use.  14 gauge or lower is highly recommended.  You should NEVER unplug another guest’s extension cord.
If you want to safely use a generator, we ask that you camp in a specific area.  Please ask Guest Services for direction.

Each regular campsite has room for one vehicle.  All other vehicles should park in one of our designated parking areas.  Please visit our Parking Page or search “parking” on our aerial map on The Woods app to learn more.

None of our sites are equipped with a grill although we sell charcoal grills in the camp store.  The sites with fire rings are open pits although we do sell grates for them in the camp store.  Note:  The tent grove fire rings are shared and not at every site.  Overflow areas do not include fire rings but you’re welcome to bring a raised fire dish or rent one from us at The Woods Store.

Book your site with the people who you know at that time.  Guest Services can edit your reservation by adding or deleting names but all added guests must have an account in our database.  The more information you provide prior to your arrival, the quicker check-in will be.  Communication is key.  The best way to provide this information is by using this form

Please see additional information on The Woods app under “Getting to Us”

Please see our cancellation policy at the bottom of THIS page.Membership & Campsites

If your plans change and you cannot utilize your reservation, selling it to another person is permissible.  The financial transaction is to be done between the two parties.  A notification with all parties included must be sent to Guest Services who can make the change to the reservation.  You can use THIS FORM to send in this request.  There is a $15 administrative fee for this service.  If it is discovered that the seller made a profit on the sale, their membership will be revoked.

Weekends require a two night stay.  Holiday weekends require a three night stay.  There is no minimum for weekday reservations.

If you arrive after a minimum period starts, you do not have to pay for nights you didn’t stay.  For example, the minimum 2 night stay for a weekend is Fri. & Sat.  If you arrive Sat. & a site is available, you only have to stay/pay for Sat. night.  This mostly pertains to those who camp in Overflow.
