Camping at Lake Logan

2023 Camping Policies and Information

PAYMENTS AND DEPOSITS

We accept check, cash, and Visa/MasterCard/Discover. Please add a 3% service fee for credit card payments.

If your total camping reservation is less than $1000, Lake Logan requires nonrefundable payment in full with your signed contract. Your site will not be held without payment and a signed agreement. If your total bill exceeds $1000, please discuss payment options with us.

CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS

A 50% refund will be issued for camping reservations cancelled with 30 days’ notice. Cancellations made with less than 30 days’ notice will receive no refund.

INSURANCE, LIABILITY, & 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.

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. Please note, we have several friendly animals (dogs, cats, and chickens) who live full-time on the property. If your dog does not play well with others, please leave 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.

Some sites do not allow vehicles to be parked directly at the site; be sure to read the site description carefully. Additional vehicles will be charged a fee and must be parked by the tennis courts. All vehicles need a valid parking pass hanging from the rearview mirror or kept on the front dashboard. Speed limit on the property is 9.5 miles per hour.

Failure to follow parking restrictions may result in a fine of $100 (or more if damage is done).
