Since we took over Moosehaven in 2016, we have discovered that common sense is not as common as it used to be, and we feel the need to post the following:

Please please, please! Do NOT cut through occupied sites to cross the resort. Please use roads as a way to navigate the resort. This is a common rule in campgrounds and the one most often broken and leads to the most complaints. 

Moosehaven Resort Campground Guidelines & Etiquette

Welcome to Moosehaven Resort! We’re so glad you’re here. Since taking over in 2016, we’ve learned that a few clear reminders help everyone enjoy their stay. Please take a moment to review these guidelines so that all guests, wildlife, and our property can be respected and enjoyed for years to come.

Respect for Sites & Guests

  • Stay on the roads – Please do not cut through occupied campsites. Teach kids this rule too.

  • Quiet Hours – 10:00 PM to 9:00 AM. Please respect your neighbors.

  • Visitors – All visitors must register at the office, park in guest parking, and leave by dusk.

Pets

  • General Rule: No dogs. Indoor RV cats are okay ($2 per cat, per day).

  • Exceptions: If you have a quiet, elderly dog or a pet with special needs, call us to discuss. We love animals and try to work with you.

  • Cabins: Pet-free, but exceptions may be made with a $20 cleaning fee.

  • Service Animals: Permitted with provincial paperwork and proof of certification.

Fires & Firewood

  • Firewood: Only local or kiln-dried wood is allowed. No outside (non-Cariboo) firewood.

  • Collection: You may collect on local Crown land with a free permit (available in the office). No scavenging wood on resort property.

  • Campfires: Max size 0.5m x 0.5m. Extinguish before bed or leaving your site.

  • Do Not Move Fire Pits. Moving one without permission is a $150 charge.

  • Burn Wood Only. No garbage, foil, plastics, or bottle caps in fire pits.

Smoking, Vaping & Cannabis

  • Smoking: Allowed only in your RV space or outside area of your cabin. Never inside cabins or within 3m of doors/windows. $1000 fee if violated.

  • Cigarette Butts: Use an ashtray. Do not toss butts on the ground, in the lake, or in fire pits. Eviction without refund for littering.

  • Cannabis: This is a family resort. No smoking in campsites or near cabins. If indulging, walk at least 500m away from all sites—or use edibles.

Kids & Safety

  • Play Areas: Closed at dusk or 10 PM (whichever comes first).

  • Supervision: Parents/guardians must supervise children at all times, especially near water. There is no lifeguard.

  • Vehicles: Quads/ATVs may only be used at dead-slow speed to exit/enter the resort. No joyriding, grass riding, or aftermarket loud exhausts. Electric golf carts only for on-site transportation.

Garbage, Recycling & Septic

  • Garbage: Use designated bins near the RV washroom before 9 PM or dark. No overnight garbage outside—this attracts bears.

  • Recycling: Follow signs at our You-Sort station. Food waste is garbage, not recycling.

  • Septic System: Only toilet paper goes in toilets. No wipes, paper towels, feminine products, grease, plastics, or dental floss. Costly damage fees apply.

Resort Conduct

  • Alcohol: Enjoy responsibly. Disorderly, aggressive, or abusive behavior means removal without refund.

  • Respect for Nature: No seed shells, water balloons, or helium balloons. These harm wildlife.

  • No Firearms/Explosives: Includes pellet guns, fireworks, potato cannons, etc.

  • Vehicle Washing: Not permitted on resort property. There’s a car wash nearby at Interlakes.

Cabins Only

  • Cleaning: Please leave cabins tidy—sweep, wash and put away all dishes, remove food/coffee filters, take garbage/recycling to bins.

  • Towels: Place used towels in the tub or sink. Never on beds or furniture (instant $100 fee).

  • Beds: Do not strip sheets; we’ll handle that.

  • Cooking Grease: Never pour down sinks. Ask for a container if needed.

  • Damage/Cleaning Deposit: Your deposit may be applied if the cabin is left dirty, damaged, or missing items.

  • Never screw or nail anything to our cabins or decks.

Additional Notes

  • Water: Our water is lake-drawn, filtered, and safe for washing/cooking. For drinking, follow a 1-minute boil advisory.

  • Vehicles: Max 2 per site (cabin = 2 cars, RV site = RV + 1 car).

  • Refunds: None for eviction due to rule violations.

  • Community: We are proud to be an LGBTQ2-friendly campground with unisex washrooms. Respect and inclusivity are core values here.

We know the list is long, but it helps keep Moosehaven a safe, peaceful, and welcoming space for everyone.
Thank you for your respect and cooperation!
