Questions

Tap / Click question to view answer:
Can
you send a brochure?
If there is something that isn't answered in the web pages,
the printed
material will not answer it either. Our web site has more
information than our brochure and flyers since they can be kept more
current than printed material (which gets printed in quantities and
edited down to fit in the limited space available). The home page
offers basic information and has links to activities, rates, map, and
local points of interest. Any hard copy information that we
would send you would only be a subset of what is on this web site.
It is only helpful to someone that would not have access to the
Internet.

think that we are in the north east section
of Pennsylvania just because we are
located in a town called North East, PA.)
How many people are
included with
the campsite fee?
If you are a family, our practice is to consider that you
can use a site
at the site rate. "Family" includes 2 adults and all biological,
adopted or legal ward children under 18 years old living with the
adults. Additional people (adults or children) are charged
the overnight visitor rate identified on our Rate Page. Grandparents
and
adult children are "additional" people.
Each person on the grounds results in some expense to the operation and
maintenance of the
campground. Most campgrounds cover this expense by limiting
the
number included in the site fee. We are family oriented and
choose to offer affordable family camping. In return, we ask
that you be fair to us.
Can we put an
additional tent up
on our campsite?
Yes.
If the tent is for your immediate family members (as described above),
there is no charge to put it on the same site. We consider the site fee
a family fee as long as it includes children that live with you. An
additional family (or adult children) in another camper or tent would
pay a separate campsite fee.
Are
the sites open or
wooded?
Our overnight sites are in open areas. Since
Mother Nature cannot
be counted on to keep the wooded areas and access to them dry we do not
reserve wooded spots for overnight sites. If you have
reservations for a primitive site and would like to be in a wooded
area, please ask when you arrive and we will try to accommodate you.
Are campsites
long enough so I don't have to unhook my car(s)?
We have sites for this, but you must let us know at the time
of
reservation about your requirement so that we can confirm and reserve
the proper site.
Can we have visitors
and is there a charge?
Visitors are allowed and can participate in our activities
and events and
utilize our facilities. The Rate Page identifies the
charge. There is an "overnight" rate for visitors and/or
extra campers that stay the night. There is a "Daily" rate for
those that don't stay the night. If you do not want your
visitors
to pay the fee to visit you, you may pay it for them in advance of
their
arrival.
Seasonal Campers can pay a Seasonal Guest Fee that
covers all visitors to their site during the camping season (day visits
or overnight).
All visitors that set up a camper or tent on the site pay the standard
campsite fee instead of an "Overnight" visitor fee.
For the safety of all our guests (and required by our insurance
company),
all campers and visitors must be registered at the office, regardless
of their length of stay, and display a hang tag identifying that they
have permission to be on the grounds. Campers are responsible for the
conduct of their visitors and must be at the campground during the
visit.
Can I cancel a
reservation?
For "Standard" nights, one night of the campsite fee is non
refundable.
"Holiday Weekend Packages" are not refundable.
What if I arrive and
the store is closed?
If the store is closed when you arrive, pull around to the
left past the
store and go to the white house - the office entrance is marked. If no
one answers at the office and you have reservations, you should be able
to find your site using the map. If you don't have reservations, you
can set up on an empty site located across from the house.
We will meet with you when we get back to the house to settle your
account
and give you a hang tag.
What is the best way to
get in touch with you at the campground?
If you would like to make reservations or have still have
questions, please call.
When the campground is closed, October through April, you will get the
answering machine and we will return all calls within 48 hours.
From the Wednesday before Memorial Day through Labor Day (and the two
weekends following Labor Day) the store opens at 9 am and is open until
at least 8 pm Sunday through Thursday and 11 pm Friday and
Saturday. Someone will be available to take your reservation
and answer your questions. When the store is closed, you can leave a
message on the answering machine and we will return the call within 24
hours.
Because of the responsibilities of the campground we
are not near a phone very often. Leaving a
message the first time is preferable to trying to "get through" several
times within a short period. If we are not there to answer,
we probably won't be there any time soon, either.
You can also e-mail your reservation request and questions.
Are Pets allowed?
Pets allowed if on a leash and kept quiet and controlled on
your site. You
must clean up after your pet. Pets must not be left unattended. Pit
Bulls, Doberman Pinchers, Rotweilers, Chow-Chows and Wolf-Hybrids are
prohibited. All dogs brought onto the campgrounds must have proof of
Rabies Vaccination.
Do you accept PayPal?
Yes.
If you request to use PayPal an e-mail will be sent to the address you
provide identifying Family Affair Campground as
the requester and a "Pay Now" link to PayPal.
If you are a PayPal user the process will be familiar. If you
are not a PayPal user, you will be asked to provide your credit card
information.
You don't have to sign up for PayPal.
This offers you a secure way to use your credit card to guarantee the
reservation.
Our PayPal user name for payments is paypal@facinfo.com.
Do you have any
Seasonal Sites currently available?
All of our Seasonal Sites are currently occupied. We do keep
a waiting list. We do contact people on
the waiting list if a site becomes available, but the site must be paid
for immediately. Camping units must be newer than 10 years old
Can I put a tent on an
"electric" campsite?
Can I put a pop up or
RV on a "primitive" campsite?
Is there honey dipping
or a dump station available?
Is there a fire ring
and picnic table on the site?
YES, except for Primitive sites. Primitive sites are
provided a fire ring, but a table is provided only if available
and on a first come, first serve basis.
Do
you have cabins or
rental units?
Are fishing licenses
required?
Do you have Internet

Can groups or clubs get
a discount?
