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. 

Top 10 Ways To Have An Enjoyable Visit With Your Pet 

  • Make your visit enjoyable by being considerate of other guests and the natural resources of the park.
  • Appreciate the natural and cultural resources of the park. Keep your pet from digging in any area of the  park, and out of any buildings. 
  • Enjoy your pet’s company but remember that not everyone is comfortable around them. Keep your pet leashed and under control. 
  • Enjoy water recreation at the neighboring Stockton Lake but do not use the park water as a bathtub for  your pet. Keep them away from ponds. 
  • Keep your pet with you. Leaving pets unattended is no fun for the pet or nearby guests. • Make sure your pet has plenty of water and food. 
  • Leave no waste behind for the next guest to find. Bring your own bags to pick up your pet’s waste. Ask the  location of trash dumpsters. 
  • Respect the natural habitat of wildlife by keeping your pet at a safe distance. 
  • Enjoy all the benefits of the outdoors and keep pet noise to a minimum for the benefit of other guests. Follow these simple rules as posted. It will leave a positive impression for all pet owners and ensure that this  privilege continues. 
  • No aggressive pet breeds allowed. Pets with behavioral problems, separation anxiety, continuous barking, etc.  are not permitted in the park and campers will be asked to leave if management or other campers complain. • Quiet time in the park is from 11:00 PM until 8:00 AM. Please ensure your pet refrains from loud, repetitive  barking that might disturb other campers. 
  • Pets must ALWAYS remain leashed at all times when outside of the camping unit.

FLOODPLAIN ADDENDUM 

The CAMPSITE is located on land which lies in a “Floodplain.” A Floodplain is an area of land which has a 1 percent chance of being covered by flood  water in any given year. 

Because the CAMPSITE has a minor chance of Flooding, special rules apply: 

1. Everything located on the CAMPSITE must be capable of being moved out of the Floodplain with 72 hours advance notice. No posts, anchors,  or piles may be placed in the ground. 

2. When the CAMPGROUND learns that a Flood Warning has been issued for the CAMPSITE, the CAMPGROUND will notify the CAMPER to  relocate the CAMPING UNIT to an area outside the Floodplain which is designated by the CAMPGROUND. 

3. If the CAMPER does not relocate the CAMPING UNIT within 48 hours of the time notice is given by the CAMPGROUND, the CAMPGROUND may  relocate the CAMPING UNIT. CAMPER shall provide a key to the CAMPING UNIT so that CAMPGROUND may enter the CAMPING UNIT to make  emergency preparations to relocate the CAMPING UNIT. CAMPGROUND is not responsible for damage to the CAMPING UNIT or its contents if  CAMPGROUND makes an emergency relocation.
