The safety and comfort of our animals and guests are of utmost importance to us. To create a peaceful and enjoyable environment for everyone, we ask pet owners to be considerate of their pets’ presence. In the interest of maintaining tranquility, we may limit pets at any given time and, if necessary, make adjustments to reservations if a pet’s behavior, such as excessive barking, excessive barking or potential risks, could affect the overall ambiance of our Farmstead. Your understanding and cooperation are highly valued as we strive to provide a delightful experience for all our guests.

• Please always keep your pets on a leash.
• We kindly ask that you promptly clean up after your pets and dispose of waste properly.
• Please ensure your pets are up-to-date on vaccinations and have a visible identification tag.
• To maintain a peaceful atmosphere, we prohibit excessive barking.  Allowing your pet to bark or make noise uncontrollably day or night will not be permitted, and you may be asked to leave without a refund if you cannot control your pet’s noisy behavior.
• During quiet hours, we ask that you keep your pets calm to minimize disturbances to other campers.
• For the safety and well-being of your pets, please do not leave them unattended at any time.
• To help you and your pets enjoy the area, we offer information about local pet services, including veterinarians and pet-friendly attractions.

We appreciate your cooperation in ensuring a pleasant camping experience for everyone in our campground. Thank you for being responsible pet owners!

We aim to provide an exceptional grassy camping experience with spacious, well-maintained sites that promise relaxation and tranquility. To preserve this pristine environment for all guests, please follow these rules:

1. Dispose of garbage and food properly to prevent unwanted attention from our barn cats.
2. Avoid using large plastic outdoor mats, as they can damage the grass. Small stepping mats are acceptable.
3. Refrain from pouring hot water or coffee on the lawn to prevent damage.
4. If you’ve brought a pet, adhere to our pet policy and clean up after them.
5. Fire rings are provided for safety, so please do not move them.
6. Dispose of garbage in the designated area near the barn.
7. Avoid leaving excess items like cardboard or packaging materials; take them with you for disposal. Recycling is not available on-site, but you can visit Nooksack Valley Disposal and Recycling at 250 Birch Bay Lynden Rd, Lynden, for recycling needs. Thank you for your cooperation!

The red chairs are for our guests. Savor your morning coffee or bask in the sunset’s beauty with your preferred drink. Feel free to make use of the chairs. We kindly request that you refrain from relocating them to different areas of the premises.
