RESERVED
CAMPING
Campsites
that were reserved from the Hodag Country Festival office
for the 2009 Festival will be available to the same parties,
but must be reserved by Friday, January 2, 2009. Please
don't wait until the last minute and remember that we are
closed on weekends and holidays. The campsites that are
not reserved by the date above will be sold on a first come
first served basis starting Monday, January 19, 2009.
In
addition to the reserved campsites, we will have an ample
number of sites available in the open camping areas and
in the overflow when the gates open on Saturday, July 4,
2009, at 6:00 a.m.
Because
the Hodag Country Festival campground is temporary, all
sites are primitive.
All
campers must have a 9-day admission ticket in their possession
to be admitted to the grounds. NO CAMPING ALLOWED WITH DAILY
TICKETS.
9-day
admission tickets may be bought through any ticket outlet.
Camping reservations can be made ONLY through the HCF office
after the purchase of tickets. A minimum of two 9-day admission
tickets must be purchased per campsite.
One
camping unit (a "camping unit" is defined as anything
used to sleep in) with one vehicle permitted per camping
permit. If space allows, more than one camping permit may
be purchased per campsite.
Additional
camping/vehicle permits must be purchased for an additional
vehicle parked at the campsite and for every additional
camping unit placed on the site. This additional permit
cost is the same as the campsite.
All
camping units and vehicles must be inside the marked-off
area of the campsite. Anything not in this area will be
subject to removal and/or towing. This will be done at owner's
expense.
The
loss or theft of camping/parking permits is owner's responsibility.
Replacement permits should be purchased from the Camping
Office on the grounds.
Camping
stickers must be clearly visible. Vehicle stickers MUST
be placed on the lower left INSIDE of the windshield with
the provided laminate.

Please
remember that if you wish to camp in the handicap section,
you need to display a state-approved certificate or handicap
license plate.
A limited number of electrical sites are available. Each site
is designed to pull approximately 15 AMPS. To avoid an overload,
please be conservative. All electrical cords need to be
at least 12 gauge - 10 gauge if your cord is over 100 feet
long.
No electrical refrigerators, freezers, etc. allowed outside of camping units.
Water spigots are located throughout the grounds, and should be
used to fill containers or tanks only. Any connected hoses
that are unattended will be cut.
Digging
for fire pits or for burying extension cords is allowed
only to a maximum of six (6) inches due to buried utility
cables. Pits, holes and ruts must be filled in prior to
your departure.
Dumping
of grey water into porta-potties or toilets, or dumping
on the ground is strictly prohibited! A dump station is
provided for this purpose.
All alcoholic beverages must be secured (not left outside in coolers. etc.) when your campsite is unattended. Security will confiscate alcoholic beverages that are not secured.
A $100.00 deposit will be charged for every piece of furniture (couches, recliners, etc.) brought into the campgrounds. This deposit can be reclaimed at Gate 1 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on Monday, July 13, 2009 upon verification that the furniture is loaded up and that you are taking it with you.
Quiet
hours are from 1:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. in the camping areas.
Please respect the wishes of those who want to rest. The
pavilion is open until 2:00 a.m. for those who want to stay
up late.
All
generators must be shut down between 1:00 a.m. and 7:00
a.m.
Wisconsin experienced two deaths in recent years because generator exhaust asphyxiated campers. The deaths were attributed to carbon monoxide poisoning from electrical generators that operated on gasoline. Maintaining a 10-foot distance between the exhuast and the camping unit will greatly reduce, but not eliminate the chance of an accidental death.
Other factors to consider when deciding where to place a generator are wind, humidity, temperature and terrain. If possible, generators should be downwind and downhill from camping units.
Before
campers leave the grounds, campfires must be put out, holes
filled in and rocks picked up. Please leave the sites in
the same condition they were in when you arrived. You could
win one of 5 free tickets for the year 2010 in the Clean
Campsite Contest!
