Winter Camping ❄️

1. Guests are 100% responsible for purchasing & using their own Heated Drinking Water Hose from our Ground Crock to their RV’s connection port. On our website we have posted the recommended Heated Drinking Water Hose to purchase.

   • It’s also the Guest’s responsibility to see that their Heated Drinking Water Hose continues to work all Winter long.

2. RV Skirting is highly recommended. White Oak is located on top of a small mountain, with sheer-cold rolling winds in the Winter. Camping here in the Winter truly is life on Hard Mode, so come experienced, and come prepared. Do not come expecting white glove service. You will be on your own surviving. We will not be held responsible for your lack of expertise. We recommend first educating yourself by watching or reading numerous videos/articles on the internet on How To Winter RV Camp before attempting to do so.

   • RV Skirting around any RV must actually fit the RV.

     • Loose or sloppy RV Skirting is prohibited.

     • RV Skirting that management deems unacceptable is not permitted.

   • RV Skirting may not be foam board.

     • Foam boards, however, may be placed behind an approved RV Skirting.

3. The Guest accepts that maintenance only plows the fallen snow in & around the select campsites which are actually open during the Off-Season.

   • Driving or traversing in any manner to remote areas of the Park which are not plowed in the Winter due to being closed in the Off-Season is an assumed risk by the Guest, and, Park Management is not responsible for any injuries or liabilities in those areas which we do not plow because that part of the Park is closed in the Winter.

4. Winter Temporary Flips(A.K.A. a WTF for short)

   • Depending on circumstances, a Guest may need to swap over to a campsite come time that their current campsite’s water is turned off for the Off-Season. If the Guest is planning to stay throughout the whole Winter and into the Spring, a Winter Temporary Flip(or a ‘WTF’ for short) may be needed.

   • A WTF is when a Guest swaps over to a campsite with Ground Crock Access for the Winter Months, and then swaps back in April to their original campsite which did not have Ground Crock Access.

   • Ideally, however, a Guest in this scenario should first aim to get onto a campsite with Ground Crock Access from the very beginning of their Reservation.

Depending on the Site Number you are on for Winter Camping, you may need either a 25 Foot Water Hose to reach the Ground Crock, or a 50 Foot Water Hose to reach the Ground Crock.

A Ground Crock is an underground storage bin where your Water Hook-Up connection is housed; so as to prevent it from freezing from the low temperatures in the Winter.

The Ground Crock makes the water Faucet less exposed to the cold air, and therefore, less likely to freeze & stop water flowage to your RV.

Not every Site Number has its own personal Ground Crock all to itself.

Certain Site Numbers are required to share with other Site Numbers, but this does not make any difference. It is just something to be aware of when you're arriving for Winter Camping & wondering where your Water Hook-Up is, & why it appears other people are 'stealing' your water. They are not. It is designed that way in this communal living atmosphere.

In order to hook-up your Water Hose to the Faucet, you will likely need to get down on the ground on your hands & knees to reach into the Ground Crock & twist your hose onto the faucet.

Be careful not to cut yourself on any sharp metals on the Faucet connection ports, whilst it is probably also freezing outside.

Make sure you close the lid when you are done to prevent cold air from getting into the container.
