Dear Campers,

Because we want to keep improving the facilities in Hopkins Park, and, unfortunately, because like you we have to pay increased utility costs, in 2008 our rental rates will increase for the first time since 2003. .

By the ever increasing numbers of you who find out about our jewel on Bear Lake, it's really our determination to continue to provide you with that 'small town' hospitality combined with a first class camping experience.

1.) Lots may have one R.V. OR one tent only.

2.) Campers are only allowed to connect hoses to the city water faucets in the campground to fill up their R.V. holding tanks - FOR THE TIME IT TAKES TO FILL THE HOLDING TANK. The Village Council prohibits the attaching of hoses from the city water faucets to the R.V. city water connection.. And please - no washing of vehicles.

3.) The Bear Lake Village Council prohibits the discharge of brown and/or gray water directly on to or in to the ground (drain hose or seepage pit) from your recreational vehicle. Brown and/or gray water must remain contained within your vehicle and then properly disposed of at the Dump Station. This is a requirement of the State of Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. Unfortunately this policy became necessary because last year we had a problem with certain individuals.

4.) Hopkins Park lot renters may not 'sub-lease' their site to a third party.

We love our campground and it's obvious you do too - so we are confident you all support our efforts to keep this our Bear Lake Jewel'!!!
