MEMBER REGISTRATION AT GATE HOUSE In order to have maximum security on the Ranch, a Gate House is located just at the entrance to the main Ranch complex. Everyone entering and leaving the Ranch is logged in at the Gatehouse. This enables us to locate or identify anyone on the Ranch in case of emergency or other reason as the computer record also shows the campground and pad location of each member and guest. The registration procedure is as follows: A. When you stop at the Gate House, advise the Attendant that you are a member and hand them your membership card and picture ID. They will register you and return your cards. B. After you locate your campsite, you must notify the Gate House, ranger on duty, or complete a check in card and drop it in the box located on the Camphost sign in each campground as to your location.

Please be advised that it is necessary for you to inform the Gate House of your pad location within 2 hours of your

check-in. The 2 hours time frame also applies to any pad re-locations. D.

Members may remain on these specified pads for 60 days or less. All the other rules apply. Return to the same campground cannot be sooner than 4 days.

Club management, at its’ discretion, may relax this requirement during off seasons. Pads that members may remain on for 60 days are as follows: 1.

usage program. There are no limitations on the number of days the RV can be left unattended; however, a member may only occupy these pads for a period of 60-days.. Members leaving their RV on one of these pads and are checked off the ranch must adhere to the following guidelines: • No extended leaves between 5 days before and after the three major holidays. • A fee of $2.00 per day will be added to the usage fee after the initial 72-hours.
