CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS
Camping payments are non-refundable – however, if you notify us of a change in plans prior to one week from the start of your reservation we can use your payment as a deposit on a future stay at Lake Logan within one year of the initial camping reservation.

INSURANCE, LIABILITY, AND DAMAGE
Campers agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lake Logan and the Episcopal Diocese of Western North Carolina against any and all claims arising out of the use of Lake Logan. Your group assumes financial responsibility for any loss, damage, or destruction to Lake Logan property or equipment. Charges for excessive cleanup or damage to property will be assessed to the Organization, and a damage deposit may be required at the discretion of the Executive Director.  Each guest in your party must sign a release of liability form prior to or on arrival.

All activities are at your own risk.

ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE
Check-in begins at 2 pm.  Upon arrival, go to the Main Lodge office to get your wristbands and car tags prior to going to the campsite. Early check-ins may be requested and will be accommodated as space allows.

Check-out is 12 pm. You do not need to go to the Main Lodge office prior to departure – just ensure your campsite is clean and the campfire is all the way extinguished. You are welcome to then park on the airstrip and continue to enjoy the property until sunset.

GROUP LEADER
Adult supervision is required at all times. Campsites will not be rented to parties under the age of 21.

PETS
Well-behaved dogs are welcome. Owners must keep control of their dogs at all times. Lake Logan reserves the right to revoke dog privileges at any time. If your dog does not play well with others, please leave it at home. Pets must be on a leash or crated at all times. Pets may not be left unattended. Clean up after your pet. Please read our entire pet policy before bringing your pet to Lake Logan.

PARKING AND DRIVING
One vehicle is permitted at tent-only sites. Two vehicles are permitted at group sites. Additional vehicles may be parked for free on the airstrip or the stage/field parking lot. All vehicles must display a valid parking permit. The speed limit on the property is 9 miles per hour.

RVs
Lake Logan campsites are boon-docking only. There are no hookups and no dumping. Generators may be used for up to three hours per day between 9 am and 5 pm. Failure to comply with these policies may result in immediate removal from the premises with no refund.

CAMPFIRES
Campfires are permitted only in existing fire pits. You may bring locally purchased/sourced firewood, or we can provide firewood for a fee. Please purchase Lake Logan firewood in advance to ensure the wood is delivered to your site upon check-in. “Dead and Down” wood may be used for firewood. Removal of any tree, branch, or vegetation (live or dead) is prohibited. Campfires must be fully extinguished prior to check-out. Due to the risk and severe consequences of wildfire, failure to comply with campfire rules will result in a minimum $200 damages fee.

BATHROOMS
Restrooms for camping are available at port-o-potties (by the tennis courts) and flushing toilets (at the Boat House). On-site showers are not available. Please do not bathe in bathroom sinks.

COMMUNAL FACILITY USAGE
All guests are invited to enjoy the Main Lodge reception area and front porch as well as the Celebration Hall courtyard and fire pit. Please do not hang out inside the Dining Hall. The game room at Boojum’s Cave may be open at certain times of the year. Inquire upon check-in. Notice will be provided at check-in if a public area is reserved for a private function. 

FISHING
Fishing requires an additional fee unless you are a level 2 or 3 season member. Fishing is catch and release only, single hook, no live bait. NC fishing license is required. Fishing is permitted from the shore and dock at the Boat House, or from a Lake Logan boat. Read all fishing policies here.

BOATING
Boat rental is included with your reservation. Outside watercraft is only permitted for Season Members who have registered and paid for the use of their personal watercraft on the lake. A PFD must always be worn by occupants of a boat. The rescue boat, labeled “STAFF” is off-limits to guests. Please DO NOT DRAG boats to the water – they need to be picked up and carried to prevent undue wear and tear including holes that render the boat useless for future use. Boats are permitted on the lake but not under the bridge and into the river. Put everything back in its place – hang jackets and paddles in their labeled location, boats upside down, etc.

SWIMMING
Swim only in the marked swimming area. Adult supervision is required for children and youth under age 16.

BICYCLES
Bicycles are allowed on trails and roads.

FOOD PREPARATION AND WASHING DISHES
Prepare food and wash dishes at campsites only, not in bathrooms, the river, or the lake.

WATER
Water jugs may be filled at the water-filling location closest to your site.

TRASH
Do not litter. Clean up your campsite upon departure. Deposit all trash and recycling in the appropriate dumpster at the end of the field. Please recycle clean plastic, glass, aluminum, and cardboard. Trash or recycling left at the campsite will result in a minimum fee of $100.

SMOKING
For the health of all our guests, all buildings and the waterfront area are smoke-free and tobacco-free. This includes e-cigarettes and vaping. Please smoke only in designated areas outside and away from building entrances and other guests and dispose of your cigarette butts in appropriate locations.

ALCOHOL
Guests are welcome to enjoy beer and wine at their campsites. Guests should drink responsibly and ensure that only those of legal age consume alcoholic beverages. Open containers are not permitted on the grounds or by the waterfront. Consumption of alcohol while boating or swimming is not permitted. Do not litter.

WEAPONS AND FIREWORKS
Weapons and fireworks are not allowed.

FIRST AID AND MEDICAL EMERGENCIES
Group leaders should have available the following information on all participants: names and addresses; emergency contact information; special health conditions and concerns, including known allergies or other restrictions. It is recommended that each group have an adult present who is Red Cross (or a similarly recognized provider) certified to provide CPR and First-Aid emergency care as well as signed “permission to treat in an emergency” statements for youth who are not direct family members.

LAKE LOGAN PROPERTY
All Lake Logan property is to remain in its proper location. Do not move picnic tables, trash cans, recreation equipment, rocking chairs, etc. from their locations. 

QUIET HOURS

PHOTOGRAPHY
The photographs or likenesses of guests of Lake Logan may be used for publicity or other purposes without compensation or other consideration. Guests may request in writing that their photographs or likenesses not be used in this fashion.

LOST AND FOUND
Lake Logan cannot be held responsible for any items left behind by guests but will attempt to keep such items in safekeeping for one week before donating to charity. Please call the office as soon as possible if you discover that you have left something behind.

VISITORS
All visitors must reserve and pay for a day pass and check in at the office. Wristbands must be worn at all times and parking permits displayed in vehicles. All visitors must leave by sundown.

RIGHT TO REMOVE PERSONS
Lake Logan reserves the right to remove any persons from the facilities or premises who, at the sole discretion of Lake Logan staff, are unauthorized or who are creating a disturbance, or who are jeopardizing the health, safety, and/or welfare of our guests, staff, or property.

RATE CHANGES
Lake Logan will honor the camping fee in a signed use agreement (regardless if rates increase after a use agreement has been signed). Please note that Lake Logan rarely changes the price of meals. In the event of a significant increase in food costs within our region, there may be a relative increase in the costs of prepared meals. Sales taxes are set by the state of North Carolina.

The Main Lodge (front lobby) will remain open during normal business hours (Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM), for overnight and weekend guests. Due to our mountain location, we cannot guarantee the quality of Wi-Fi service.
