Checking in before the office closes is preferred. This allows us to make sure you are aware of everything. During the summer the office is open later and does close earlier on the off season. If you will be arriving after the office is closed, it is required that you have completed the documents sent to you in your email. Including providing any vehicle information that will be in the campground.

Our check-in time is 2:00pm or after. If you believe you will arrive before then, please call the office to determine if that is an option. There will be a fee assessed for early arrival. If your plan is to arrive in the morning in order to setup prior to going to Cedar Point we suggest you purchase the site for the night before.
