Pets
We appreciate that many people consider their pets as their “children”. We keep that in mind in the creation of our Pet Policy. Aggressive or incessant barking dogs, or any aggressive pets, are not allowed here at Cheerful Valley Campground. If your dog, or pet, meets either of these categories, we will have to ask you to remove the pet from our premises. All pets are to be kept on a leash any time the animal is outside the owner’s camper. Please clean up after your animals. Pets are prohibited from entering any of the campground buildings or the pool area.
