Extended Stay Rules

These Rules provide clarification regarding occupancy of Kootenay River RV Park and establish the rules of conduct for all persons on Park property, forming the foundation of the license of occupation. They are enforced to protect the quality of the Park, the guest experience, and our community.

License to Occupy
Sites are only to be occupied under the terms below, and their use is strictly limited by these rules. Residential tenancies do not apply in any way, shape, or form — any use or rental of a site is by license to occupy only. Under this license, registered guest(s) are given permission to use and occupy the site, but that permission may be revoked at any time. In turn, guests are under no obligation to give notice before vacating. The term "Guest" refers to the party signing the receipt of fees paid or rule acknowledgment, who assumes responsibility for all other registered persons on the site.

The Park Reserves the Right To:

Operate under a license of occupation only, whether written, oral, express, or implied.
Determine and control who may enter the Park and when.
Eject any guest or visitor considered undesirable.
Maintain, enter, and control any site at any time.
Restrict visitor hours; all visitors must vacate by 10 PM unless registered with the office (additional fee may apply).
Restrict entry to guests 18 years of age or older.
Amend rates, fees, or rules/license of occupancy at any time, with changes posted on-site and online.

Visitors
Visitors are assumed to be visiting the guest of the site they're on, and guests are responsible for their visitors at all times, including proper parking in visitor areas. Visitor pets are not permitted at any time. Guests may not have visitors in their absence unless prior arrangements have been made with the Park.

Liability
The Park assumes no liability for theft, vandalism, loss, other property damage, or personal injury arising from use of the facilities or actions of others on the property. Guests are encouraged to carry adequate personal property insurance at all times.

Noise & Conduct
We are a quiet park at all times. Guests are asked to keep noise to a level that won't disturb others — no radios, stereos, or musical instruments. Respect and common courtesy are expected from all guests and visitors at all times.

Occupancy, Fees & Subletting

Rates are based on a maximum of two-person occupancy. Additional guests or visitors staying past 10 PM must be approved and registered in advance and may incur additional fees.
Late payments are charged $5/day for each day a balance remains outstanding.
Guests may not assign, sublease, or rent their RV or RV site.

Nuisance & Business Activity
No guest may pursue any business, hobby, or activity that creates a nuisance, causes a disturbance, or interferes with others' use of common areas or their site. Activities may not be harmful, dangerous, or unsafe, and must comply with all federal, provincial, and municipal laws. A nuisance is defined as anything visually or audibly offensive, or that obstructs the rights of others, as determined by the Park. Soliciting of any kind is strictly prohibited.

Alcohol & Smoking

Alcohol must be confined to your site and is not permitted in shared areas (office, washrooms, laundry, etc.).
If smoking, please dispose of cigarette butts properly in an ashtray or can.
Smoking or vaping cannabis is not permitted anywhere on the property.

Respect for Neighbors
Please be respectful of other guests and avoid walking through occupied sites.

Vehicles & Parking

The posted speed limit is 10 km/hr. The Park is not responsible for vehicle damage.
Off-road bikes, quads, mini bikes, snowmobiles, and other uninsured vehicles may not be driven anywhere in the Park.
Only one sleeping unit, 20 years old or newer, is permitted per site unless approved by the Park, along with one primary passenger vehicle. Space for one additional vehicle is available elsewhere in the Park. Vehicles may not be "stored" on-site, and towing costs will be billed to the guest if required. Boat trailers, utility trailers, and car dollies cannot be accommodated due to limited space.
Continued parking violations are subject to a $10/incident fine.

Site Structures & Landscaping

No canopies, shade structures, spotlights, floodlights, or high-intensity lighting are permitted.
Flowers are welcome in pots only (up to 5, Park-approved), watered between 7 PM and 9 AM using your RV's water outlet only. Personal sprinklers or misters are not permitted. Growing cannabis is prohibited.
Fences, tarps, glass, windbreakers, and clotheslines are not permitted.
Weeding, edging, pruning, lawn cutting, and watering of grounds are handled by Park staff only. Please keep your site clean and uncluttered.
Guests are responsible for snow shoveling, sanding, and salting their own site/parking stall and pathways; the Park maintains roadways, sidewalks, and common areas.

Vehicle & Equipment Use

Hose washing of vehicles/RVs and running generators is not permitted.
Vehicle repairs are prohibited on sites, streets, driveways, or parking areas; a tow truck may be called to move disabled vehicles for off-site repair.
Power tools, pressure washers, and outdoor vacuums may not be used during tourism season (mid-April through mid-October).
Belongings must be stored out of sight (in a shed or off-site storage).
Hot tubs, wading pools, carports, and decks are not permitted.

Utilities & Winterizing

All sewer hookups must be the screw type and watertight, per municipal health regulations.
Winterizing (skirting, waterline insulation) may be done after October 1st and must be removed by May 1st. Only Park-approved, easily removable vinyl skirting (grommets or snaps) may remain. The Park heat-traces the water supply standpipe each winter. Washrooms are closed mid-October through mid-April.
Guests may access potable water through one port from the water supply Y-connection only; no other water connections are permitted.

Pets

Pets are permitted at the Park's discretion and must be approved and registered; visitor pets are not permitted at any time.
Pets must be leashed and attended at all times when outside the RV — no running loose, and no access to the office, washrooms, or laundry.
Noisy, dangerous, or unruly pets are not permitted.
Owners are responsible for cleaning up after pets immediately, with waste bagged and disposed of in the garbage bins.

Taxes, Mail & Services

GST applies to all fees and rates.
Canada Post does not recognize legal tenancies in RV parks; mail must be addressed to a P.O. box or general delivery at a local post office.
The Park owner/operator is solely responsible for services and maintenance related to advertised amenities (property taxes, hydro, Wi-Fi, potable water, cable TV, and sanitary sewer). Electricity is Park-metered and charged at cost to reduce waste.

Guest Privacy
We do not require and will never ask about your current living arrangements — we respect your rights and privacy, and appreciate your patronage. We ask that this respect be reciprocal.

The Park reserves the right to amend and enforce any rule or regulation as listed and/or posted.
