Policies & Guidelines for a Comfortable Stay
MTN Fun Basecamp is a small, self-serve campground. There is no staffed front desk and no phone service. Please read carefully — many questions are answered here.
Reservations are required for all stays. Walk-ins are extremely limited and apply to select RV-only sites only. Same-day bookings should not be relied upon.
- —Everyone on the property must be registered on the booking. Day visitors are not permitted.
- —Each site is for one continuous travel group only. Rotating guests are not allowed.
- —Amplified sound and large gatherings are not permitted at any time.
- —RV sites are for self-contained RVs only, with strict occupancy limits.
- —Vehicle numbers and parking are limited and enforced.
- —Smoking is not permitted anywhere on the property.
- —Dogs are welcome on leash. Maximum 2 dogs per site.
- —Children must be supervised by a responsible adult at all times.
If your plans involve visitors, rotating guests, or large gatherings, MTN Fun Basecamp may not be the right fit. We aim to be upfront about this.
All bookings are paid in full at the time of booking. Because MTN Fun Basecamp has a limited number of sites, longer reservations hold a significant portion of availability — especially during the main booking season. Our tiered policy reflects the difficulty of refilling those nights on short notice.
Reservations are intended for recreational travel stays only. Speculative or placeholder bookings tied to other housing or lodging arrangements are not permitted.
The 8+ night tier carries a stricter penalty. A 7-night cancellation loses 1 night; an 8-night cancellation loses 50% of the total. Please book only dates you reasonably expect to use.
- —No refunds for early departures or shortened stays.
- —Date changes are not offered — all changes are cancel and rebook, subject to availability.
- —If the campground is closed due to wildfire, evacuation, extreme weather, or government order: full refund for unused nights. Timing may be delayed.
- —If the campground remains open, this policy applies regardless of weather, smoke, air quality, or road conditions.
Lodge suites and cabins are booked through Airbnb only and follow Airbnb's cancellation policies — not the policy above.
Late check-outs may incur fees. Check-out instructions are sent by email before your departure.
MTN Fun Basecamp is a gated property. The gate limits overnight vehicle traffic and maintains a safe, quiet environment for all guests.
The gate is closed from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM. No vehicle entry or exit during these hours — no exceptions. Guests may walk in and out freely at any time.
If you arrive after the gate closes, you will not be able to drive in. Public parking outside the gate is not guaranteed. Plan to arrive before 10:00 PM.
- —Each site includes a fixed vehicle allowance listed on your booking. No extra vehicles, no overflow.
- —All vehicles must fit entirely within your assigned campsite.
- —Vehicles must remain parked on your site except when entering or leaving the property.
- —Driving around the campground for any other reason is not permitted.
- —No parking in front of washrooms, near charging stations, along the front road, or in roadways.
- —Speed limit is 10 km/h throughout, including bicycles. No vehicle idling at any time.
- —Unauthorized or improperly parked vehicles may be towed at owner's expense.
Have an accessibility-related parking need? Contact us in advance to request an accessibility parking pass.
Electric dirt bikes (including Sur-Ron), gas dirt bikes, ATVs/UTVs, and snowmobiles may not be unloaded, started, ridden, or operated anywhere on the property. These must remain secured on trailers or tow vehicles at all times.
A 2-night minimum applies during the main season (May–September) for most site types. Single-night stays are limited and only available on select sites.
- —Self-contained RVs only. No tent camping on RV sites. No sleeping in cars or non-self-contained vehicles.
- —Sprinter-style camper vans permitted if self-contained and appropriately sized.
- —Maximum 6 people total per site. Maximum 4 adults — remaining occupants must be children.
If your setup doesn't comply, you may be reassigned only if an appropriate site is available — otherwise you may be turned away without refund.
MTN Fun Basecamp is designed for individual-site camping, not large gatherings. Booking multiple sites does not create a group booking.
- —Maximum 12 people total on the property at any time, regardless of how many sites are booked.
- —Shared kitchens, canopies, or centralized gathering areas across sites are not permitted.
- —Each site must remain self-contained.
- —Bookings must be made by the people staying on site. Third-party and tour company bookings are not permitted without prior approval.
Off-season groups (reunions, teams, retreats) may be considered by written approval only. These are never approved during summer.
- —No amplified sound at any time. No music, media, or instruments during quiet hours.
- —No outdoor movies, screens, or projectors.
- —Low-lumen, warm-coloured, downward-facing lights only. No string lights, flood lights, or colour-changing lights.
- —Fires allowed only in designated fire rings, subject to local fire bans.
