Q.� Do you have a problem with wild animals and insects?��
A.��Not always but some times it can be worse than another.� Camping is an outdoor pursuit and the area around us is forest with few human inhabitants therefore it is impossible to restrict the access of these birds, insects and animals.�� Wild animals commonly found in our area are raccoons, skunks, coyotes and crows and a variety of insects.�� To discourage pesky critters we pick up trash from in front of each campsite at regular intervals daily between 9 am and 6 pm. (trash bags are available for sale in the camp store).�� We also ask our guests to assist by not leaving trash,� dirty dishes, food or open drink containers around campsites for any length of time and remember that fish cleaning is restricted to our fish cleaning table near our trash dumpster area.� We recommend guests bring them insect repellent and a first aid kit.
