Snug Harbor Resort’s 2023 Rules & Regulations
Snug Harbor’s 2023 updated Rules & Regulations are intended for the comfort, welfare, and safely of all Snug Harbor Residents.
In general, any activities that detract from other guests enjoyment or cause damage to the Snug Harbor Resort facilities are not allowed.
Every reasonable effort will be made by the park managers/owners to ensure that rules and regulations are enforced.
Snug Harbor Resort Facilities
Use of our swimming area and all other park facilities is at your own risk.
There is no lifeguard on duty.
Our swimming area is private for Snug Harbor Resort residents and their guests only.
Residents are responsible for the actions and safety of their children, pets and guests.
No glassware or beverages in glass containers are allowed on the beach. This is for everyone’s safety. Broken glass creates a significant safety issue.
Quiet hours are between 11:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.
No firearms (including BB guns, pellet guns, & air rifles) or bow and arrows are to be discharged in the park.
Snug Harbor Resort is a fireworks free property. No fireworks are allowed whether they leave the ground or not, including sparklers.
Individual Units/Lots
It’s a recommended safety precaution to have at least one fire extinguisher and one smoke detector in each unit.
Areas around each unit need to be kept free of clutter. Nothing flammable should be stored under your unit or slide-out (i.e. firewood, gasoline containers, etc.) for fire safety issues.
The sale or transfer of any unit must be approved by park owners before any sale is completed. Any past due rent or electric bills must be paid before final sale.
Sale of your unit does not include the Snug Harbor lot you are located on. The property is the sole possession of Snug Harbor Resort Inc.
Renting out your unit is not permitted.
No tents or pop-ups can be used on your lot.
No trailer or motorhome can be pulled into the park temporarily and used for accommodations.
All structural alterations and improvements to units, decks etc. are subject to park management approval before starting. If the state license inspector does not approve of the alteration it must be removed at your expense.
New or replacement sheds need to be approved by park management prior to purchasing. Shed sizes are subject to availability of space on each lot.
No unit can be moved off a lot or on a lot without first talking with the park management. Depending on the situation it may require specialized equipment and other tools/procedures to protect our underground sewer and water lines.
General cosmetic repairs are the personal responsibility of unit owners and are expected to be done in a timely manner. All units on each lot must be washed as needed. Snug Harbor reserves the right to require the resident to perform the necessary cleaning and/or repairs.
All trailers & Park Models are required to have skirting. The design and materials must be approved by the park manager prior to work being done. The following materials (examples: vinyl, aluminum, wolmanized siding or lattice with hex fence screening) can be used and must blend with the unit.
The main purpose of this is to keep leaves & debris out and for aesthetic reasons.
Units coming into the park can be no more than 20 years old without approval from Snug Harbor Resort management.
Utilities
Water to the park will be turned on early to mid-May upon water testing completion. It will be turned off early October. Both dates are weather permitting.
Water and sewer is included in your annual fee.
You will receive the bill for your electric usage after September 10th.
Turn your water off at the water spicket supplying to your unit whenever you leave for more than a day.
Water hook ups from the supply spicket to your unit are your responsibility.
All water supply lines to your unit need to be approved fresh water RV hoses per state requirements and are not to be buried.
Please maintain your water line and any other hoses you may have to prevent water leakage. If you have a leak you must correct the issue.
Sewer hook up from the ground to the unit is your responsibility.
Do not flush anything that could cause clogging of the system (examples: Food, disposable diapers, flushable wipes, tampons or sanitary napkins). Doing so can cause pipes to clog and sewer pumps to stop working creating costly repairs. Any blockage between your trailer and the hook-up, that results in a sewage repair cost, is your responsibility.
Snug Harbor Resort requires single ply toilet paper only. This is for the sustainability of the sanitary sewer system.
Visiting Guests
Use is intended for you and your immediate family. If you do have an occasional guest visiting, you must be there during their visit and are responsible for letting them know the park rules. This is for the courtesy and safety of all of our residents.
On peak holiday weekends (i.e. 4th of July), please use restraint when inviting guests. The park is not designed to handle a large influx of guests!
Dogs
Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times and never allowed to run at large in the park.
Dogs are not allowed on the beach and must be leashed to get to and from the boats (unless they are small enough to be carried).
The only exception to the leash policy is when you are exercising your dog(s) in the designated dog swim areas.
You are responsible for cleaning up your dog’s messes.
Dogs leashed by the trailer must be of a length that does not allow the dog to interfere with someone walking by your unit.
Pets that are aggressive will not be allowed. Snug Harbor Resort reserves the right to require a resident to remove their pet at any time.
Any visitors with pets must be made aware of these rules.
Golf Carts
Owners of golf carts assume full responsibility for the safe operation of their golf cart and any damages to property or person related to the operation of their golf cart within the park.
Your child needs to be at least 12 years old to operate a golf cart without an adult in our park.
Golf carts need to be operated at a slow speed when in the park as we have a number of little kids running around and ground that can be dry creating a lot of dust.
Any golf cart operated after dark needs to have headlights.
Dumpster
Place all garbage in plastic bags and tie shut before putting in the dumpster. If it is full, place bags on top or take them home with you.
The dumpster is for household refuse only. All other items will need to be taken home for disposal.
Please break down and flatten any cardboard boxes before putting them in the dumpster.
When using the fish cleaning station, all remains need to be double bagged and put in the freezer which is located in the fish cleaning area. You are responsible for cleaning up the entire area by rinsing and sanitizing it.
Parking
Use designated parking only. Guests need to park in the guest parking area.
No parking is permitted behind the lakefront trailers, except for unloading.
Traffic to the lakefront trailers will enter from the west side through the gate. It is preferred for those vehicles to exit from the same west entrance. For those vehicles that are unable to exit to the west your exit will be to the east side. This exit is very narrow and children may be playing. Proceed with great caution! That drive is a one-way drive only from the lakefront to the lower parking area. There is to be no entering of the lakefront lots through this east entrance.
Boats/Docks
Boats are not allowed to be stored on the beach. All boats must be attached to a dock.
Dock spaces are assigned by park management.
Snug Harbor resort reserves the right to remove a boat or change a boat location on the docks.
Boat trailers must be stored in the bullpen area across Snug Harbor Rd.
We have limited space in that area, so please talk to a park manager for permission and a location for your boat trailer. All boat trailers need to have the owner's name on the tongue.
Payment Options
Personal check, cash, or credit card payments offered through our Snug Harbor website.

The park owners reserve the right to evict anyone who refuses to comply with all rules and regulations.
The park management reserves the right to add to or alter these rules and regulations written or unwritten as circumstances require.
