Pets, Service Animals & Wildlife

Pets: A maximum of two pets is permitted per campsite. Pets must be leashed, may not be left unattended (including locked inside your camper or car). Rabies vaccination certificate required on file at the office. Vaccination papers must also be kept at your site. Pets must be leashed (6-foot leash) at all times, supervised by someone age 13 or older. Pets are not allowed at the pool, in buildings, or on playgrounds. While we love our pet campers, dogs are not permitted in the camp store because we serve food. Pets must be cleaned up after, including in the woods. All waste must be disposed of using bags at Dog Waste Depot Stations. Violation of this policy is cause for termination of your stay.

Service Animals: You must be able to answer two questions: (1) Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?; and (2) What work or task has the dog been trained to perform? Any person with a pet (including a service animal) will be excluded and removed if: (a) the animal is unruly, aggressive, barking excessively, or creating a direct threat to the health/safety of others, and the handler does not take effective action to stop it; (b) the animal is not housebroken; and/or (c) if it would fundamentally alter the nature of the goods, services, or operations.

Wildlife: Woodstream is a beautiful wooded campground immersed in nature. All manner of wildlife is present. During your stay you may encounter chipmunks, squirrels, woodchucks, beavers, snakes, foxes, bees and other wildlife. It is imperative that you DO NOT FEED the wildlife.

Bicycles & Vehicles

As set forth in these policies below, Camping is an outdoor recreational activity that carries inherent risks for all activities, including riding wheeled vehicles. The roads are most often loose gravel with uneven surfaces with ruts from RVs and trucks and speedbumps to control vehicular speed. Great care and caution is required in every circumstance. While we do not prevent you from using bicycles, ebikes and other modes of transportation in the campground, we do not recommend them and if you choose to use them, you assume all responsibility for yourself, your property and other campers. The speed limit throughout the campground is 5 MPH and applies to all motor vehicles, bicycles, electric bikes, and personal transportation devices (includes electric bikes, electric scooters, hoverboards, electric skateboards, one-wheels and similar devices). Riders must yield to pedestrians at all times. There is to be NO wheelie or trick riding anywhere on campground property. Riding bicycles, electric bikes, or personal transportation devices after dark is not permitted, unless the device has a working front white light and a rear red light or reflector. All bicycles, electric bikes, and personal transportation devices must be walked across bridges. Consistent with New York State law, Woodstream requires helmets for all bicyclists under age 14, all e-scooter riders aged 16 and 17, and all riders of Class 3 e-bikes regardless of age. We strongly recommend helmets for all riders.

Personal electric transportation devices are permitted on paved and gravel roads only. They may not be operated on grass, trails, or within the playground or pool areas. Operators of any motorized or electric device must be at least 16 years of age. Traditional pedal-only bicycles remain welcome for riders of all ages. Golf carts are permitted only for approved guests with disabilities or campground management. Nothing in this policy restricts the use of wheelchairs or mobility devices by guests with disabilities; guests requiring a power-driven mobility device should contact the office for approval. Parents and guardians are responsible for their children’s compliance with these rules. Devices operated in an unsafe manner, above the speed limit, or by underage riders may be restricted from use for the remainder of the stay. Repeat violations may result, at management’s sole discretion, in eviction of the offending party’s entire group from Woodstream Campsite without refund. ATVs, Segways, mopeds, dirt bikes, mini-bikes, rollerblades, skateboards, Rip Sticks, mountain boards, and radio-controlled planes, helicopters and drones are strictly prohibited.
