Please include the number of visitors aged 15 and under, 16 and over, their arrival and departure dates, and whether they require visitor parking. If they require parking in the MTC visitor parking lot, please provide car make, model and colour. The fee for visitors registered in advance will be added to Occupant’s tab.

• The License of Occupation must be operative and in good standing for visitors to access the Site. Owner reserves the right to ask visitors for ID, limit the number of visitors, or to refuse visitors entry into the Park, at its sole discretion.

 

Tabs & Invoices

• An invoice is required before sending payment, unless paying in person at the office. For invoices over $1,000 that are paid by credit card, a 2.4 percent processing fee will apply. Please inform MTC before paying so invoice can be adjusted to include fee. If payment is made by credit card without informing MTC, a 2.4% processing fee will be added to your tab. No processing fee will apply for non-credit card payments. Invoices can be paid in person by debit, Visa debit, cash, credit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay; online by credit card, Visa debit, Apple Pay or Google Pay; over the phone by credit card or visa Debit; e-transfer to camping@mountaintroutcamp.com; or by cheque.

Allow up to 24 hours to receive confirmation of payment receipt by email.  

• Owner will invoice tabs and hydro fees to Occupant within a week after Park closing, or upon the Occupant vacating the site. The Owner will monitor the tab throughout the season and if it reaches approximately $200 before end of season, the Owner will issue an invoice. Owner can, at any time, refuse to offer a tab and/or request full payment.

• Payments must be received by the invoice due date.

 

Trailer, Site, Site Improvements & Maintenance

• Mountain Trout Camp offers seasonal camping only and is open each year beginning the second Friday of May to October Thanksgiving Monday. Outside these dates, Mountain Trout Camp is closed as per the terms of the winter storage contract. Mountain Trout Camp does not provide permanent residency and campsites must be used for recreational and vacation purposes only. Seasonal sites must not be occupied for more than 24 consecutive days per month. 

• Owner or campground staff have full access to the Site at any time, whether Occupant is present or not.

• Occupant must not attempt to sell, transfer, lease, sublet, or assign the campsite and the responsibilities, privileges, and obligations provided under the License of Occupation, in total or in part, to another person.

• All trailer sales must be preapproved by Owner to any potential buyer. Owner has the right to not approve a buyer, with or without reason. A 10% fee must be paid to Owner for all trailer sales. The 10% fee of the purchase price includes the seasonal fee and HST is applicable to this amount. The bill of sale shall show 90% of the sale price to avoid the buyer paying HST twice on the 10% commission amount. The buyer is responsible for paying this fee directly to the Owner by deducting that amount from what is owed to the seller. No for sale signs are permitted anywhere on Occupant’s site.

• Trailers must be roadworthy, licensed and insured at all times. Trailers must be positioned on a Site to allow for expeditious removal. Although there is no age limit on trailers, all trailers need to be sufficiently maintained and in reasonable condition. All trailers must have a functioning toilet, shower and kitchen. Trailers which are deemed unsuitable must be replaced or removed at Owner discretion. Please discuss with Owner before switching or upgrading to a different trailer, as this requires approval. No trailers more than 8 feet wide (measured without the tip-outs) are permitted. Occupant may take their trailer out of the campground a maximum of twice per season.

• Site must be kept clean and tidy at all times. This includes decks, sheds, equipment and any other items or structures that may be onsite. Renovation material may not be stored outdoors. Occupant is responsible for yard maintenance (including lawn trimming) and landscaping. If the Owner has to maintain the Site due to the Occupant’s neglect, the Occupant will be charged a fee.

• Any site improvement must be pre-approved by Owner. This includes planting trees or bushes, clearing of branches/trees/bushes, decks, gravel, fences, sheds, gazebos or bunkies. Occupant must provide Owner with detailed descriptions of planned modification of site. No compromises will be made for non-compliant site improvements which occur without prior approval from Owner. Pre-approved site improvements can occur only between opening day and the Wednesday before Victoria Day weekend and between the Wednesday after Labour Day to the Wednesday before Thanksgiving weekend.

• All structures are considered temporary fixtures. Structures must be moved or disassembled upon vacating site unless special arrangements have been made with Owner.

• The maximum permitted size for a shed or bunkie is 100 square feet. Common dimensions are 10’x10’ or 8’x12’. The maximum exterior height is 10 feet from the ground for a flat roof, and 11 feet from ground for a top angle roof. Each site is limited to having one shed and one bunkie. Sunrooms, Florida rooms and add-a-rooms are not permitted with few exceptions. The Occupant will be charged a Structure surcharge fee for any Site structure that results in the Owner’s property taxes being increased as a result of the structure being added.

• No alterations, construction or encroachments of any kind are allowed beyond the boundaries of Occupant site.

• Affixing anything to a tree, including clotheslines or signs, is not permitted. Birdhouses are the only exception.

• If the Occupant chooses, they can rent a 420lb propane tank for additional fees. Each tank has a meter meter and can be filled to a maximum of 80% capacity. A top-up is offered once a season, which MTC will arrange. It is the Occupant's responsibility to advise Owner whether they require a top-up (a reminder will be sent out beforehand). Mandatory propane inspections (approximately every 10 years) will result in additional fees.

• Outdoor fridges are only permitted if secured inside a shelter or structure, such as a shed or bunkie.

• Each seasonal site has a 250‐gallon septic holding tank. Occupant must monitor septic tank level on a regular basis, and request a pump-out when the tank is between 70% and 90% full. Owner offers pump-outs once a week at the beginning of the week. Occupant must notify Owner by end of day Sunday to have their tank pumped early the next week. Nothing other than septic toilet paper (i.e. no tissues, feminine products, garbage) can be flushed.

• Please recycle by using the blue bins near the large brown garbage bin. Avoid throwing recyclables in the garbage. Owner is responsible for sorting recycling, including all liquor/beer cans and bottles. Plastic bags are non-recyclable. The big brown cardboard bin is for staff use only; please put cardboard in the blue bins. Batteries can be dropped off in the office for recycling.

• Cooled firepit ashes can be put in the metal cans located behind the brown garbage bin.

• Leaves can be put in large brown garbage bin or along the pile of rocks on Wyonch Lane.

• No outside garbage or recycling can be brought in and disposed of in the campground bins.

 

Boat & Vehicle Parking

• Vehicles or trailers parked in visitors parking must be pre-approved and registered at the office. A $5 fee per day use or per night will be added to Occupant’s tab.

• Occupant must be preapproved from Owner to park boats on shoreline or against the rock wall. Occupant must clearly identify the boat to Owner. Boats can only be parked when the Occupant is at the Park. There is a charge of $5 per day use or per night for parking a fishing boat on the shoreline. Canoes and kayaks can be parked beside the rock wall during the day only, and not overnight, at no charge. 

• See Rate Sheet for boat slip and trailer storage fees. Seasonal boat slips are available on a first come, first serve basis. Owner does not guarantee Occupant the same boat slip and may switch boat slips throughout the season if required. Owner reserves the right to cancel a boat slip at any time, and the refund will be prorated. Occupant is responsible for monitoring their boat. Owner is not liable if any damage or theft that may occur. When approaching our Marina, ensure travelling speed is low and look out for swimmer safety. Inflatable toys are permitted to be stored on the boat for day use only, and must be removed by end of day. No music permitted in boats parked on boat slip.
