KEPLER PARK CAMPGROUND RULES AND GUIDELINES

Kepler Park is a privately owned and operated, family oriented campground, with fees for the use of private land.

 

TO ALL VISITORS 

 

Kepler Park has been dedicated to the Lord for His plan and purpose.

Use of the park is intended as a place of "Refuge"... a place of solitude, relaxation, and good wholesome fun!

We ask that everyone keep this in mind and please be considerate of other visitors at the park.

If you're looking for a place to party, this is not the place! Drugs, alcohol, anger, and drama are not welcome here.

As a visitor to our park, we hope you have a pleasant stay and come back to see us soon!
