Salmonfest tries to minimize waste. There may be no trash cans!! YOU are responsible for removing your trash and leaving it as clean as when you arrived.

In the last 7 years we have had less than a 1/4 of a 13 gallon sized trash bag that was left behind. We sincerely appreciate this and hope to continue to keep our awesome camping grounds clean. 0UR CAMPERS ROCK!!!

CAMPGROUND GUIDELINES:

-Respect for the land is paramount.

-Absolutely no fireworks or discharging of firearms

-Dogs are allowed but must be contained and under control at all times. Excessive barking or loose dogs will likely lead to expulsion from the grounds.

-If you want a private fire it must be a raised fire pit (if allowed by the campground host and no burn bans are in effect).

-Alcohol is allowed in the campground but is not allowed on the festival grounds

-Porta-Potties will be centrally located to allow for easier and multiple cleanings

-No lasers

-Bring Trash bags

-No unauthorized vending You will be responsible for any and all damage made by your pet.

While we would prefer NO animals because of past incidents, if you find it absolutely necessary to bring your pet, it must be kept inside and quiet while you are away from your site. Please provide adequare water, on a leash in the lot (if applicable) and clean up after your pet. You will be responsible for any and all damage made by your pet. If your pet becomes a nuisance, you may be asked to remove it from the grounds. Be mindful and considerate so we don’t have to ban pets altogether in future years.
