    Use and Cleaning Rules:
    There are a number of rules and restrictions pertaining to the use of this facility including decorations and clean up. All renters should read the rules/restrictions PDF for this facility located on the Iowa DNR website.

    Renters are expected to abide by all facility use rules and cleaning procedures for the facility. Failure to review these items could result in cancellation of your reservation and forfeiture of reservation transaction fees.

    If you are having an event that requires a special event permit in addition to a shelter reservation, please contact the park office to discuss the details of the event. You will also need to go online to the Department’s website to complete a special event application form. Failure to do so may result in cancellation of the shelter reservation and forfeiture of reservation transaction fees.

    The shelter must be cleaned prior to vacating for the evening. Please plan to have your function over by 10:00 p.m. or earlier if necessary in order to clean and leave before the park closes.

    Most parks have a carry-in, carry-out trash policy. Please place all trash in containers, if provided. If no containers are available, please haul trash away with you when you leave.
