Group Cabin Policies

Family Cabin Policies

Group Cabin Policies apply to any Group Cabins reserved by a group. Our definition of a “group” is a group of people who are mostly not an immediate family consisting of a dad, mom and their immediate children. In other words, they are affiliated by organization, not necessarily related. Example: youth group, church group, young adults, organized club, scouts, etc.

Family Cabin Policies apply to any Family Cabins reserved by a family. Our definition of a “family” is simply that unit made up of Dad and/or Mom and their own immediate children. For example, 2 brothers and their wives and children would be considered 2 families.

Boats and fishing area near Lakeside

All of the guests using TWFM facilities may have access to TWFM boats and fishing pier near the Lakeside Cabin area. Please share and limit your use to reasonable time so others may make use as well. We also ask that those camping in other areas be sensitive to the group/s/families who have reserved the Lakeside Cabin by not loitering around that area unnecessarily. Feel free to use the open boats but when done with them remove your things and return to your reserved area.
