Pet Policies
Walnut Ridge RV Estates is not responsible for lost, damaged, or stolen property; including pets and animals. Campers bring their pet to the park at their own risk.
Responsible pet owners and their pets are welcome at Walnut Ridge RV Estates. Following are a few simple rules to ensure that you, your pet, and other park guests enjoy the outing. These rules apply to all types of pets except service animals assisting people with disabilities.
Pet Rules
- Keep it to one dog and/or one cat or fewer per campsite.
As a courtesy to other guests, it is recommended you bring no more than one dog per campsite. This also helps reduce the impact on the natural resources and aids with noise control.
- Keep your pet on a leash (not longer than 10 feet) at all times.
Even the best trained pets can be unpredictable when in a different environment. Other pets, people, and wildlife can be a distraction. Keeping your pet on a leash ensures its safety as well as the safety of other guests. • Keep your pet under control at all times and quiet. Do not leave a pet unattended. Barking dogs can ruin the enjoyment of the park for everyone. Leaving a pet unattended, even if properly leashed, can be a danger to the pet and nearby guests. If you need to leave your pet at the campsite, secure your pet inside the camping unit. Do not leave it outside the camping unit, even if leashed.
- Pets are not allowed inside any building on the park property (excluding service animals). • Clean up your pet’s waste.
No one wants to step in the mess left behind. Bring your own bags to pick up your pet’s waste. Ensure that the waste bags are placed in a trash receptacle after use.
- Failure to abide by certain rules may result in your removal from the park.
