Notice of Limitation of Liability
TO INDIVIDUALS CONSIDERING PARTICIPATING IN CAMPING
Camping is a lot of fun. It offers the chance to get outdoors, experience fresh air and play in open spaces. We are proud of our campground. We have worked hard to make a quality experience available to our guests.
However, we need to inform our guests that there are risks in camping. The experiences and attractions which make camping enjoyable bring with them an element of hazard. We have always found the rewards, emotional and recreational, far outweigh the risks. We believe that training, patience and prudence avoid almost all problems. We do want to be sure all of our guests are aware of the risks posed by camping-related activities.
Where nature, outdoors and camping activities are involved, it is possible to manage and reduce the risk of injury. It is not possible to eliminate risk. For that reason, the State of Wisconsin has adopted laws which limit the liability of businesses like our campground. We are not liable for injuries and damages which result from the inherent risks of camping. We want to be sure our customers are aware of those laws. Customers should not participate in our recreational activities if they are uncomfortable with the limitations on our liability resulting from the law.
