Hot dogs on Saturday, a movie on the beach

Before you plan around it

Three things worth knowing

It is a summer calendar

This is the schedule from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend. In May and September it is weekends only, and after October 1 there is nothing scheduled at all — which is fine, because that is when the trails are at their best.

What it costs

Free to guests, all of it, apart from the food trucks who set their own prices and the $6 pancake breakfast. The ice cream and the hot dogs are on us.

Guests, mostly

Everything here is for people staying on the property. The Friday food trucks are the exception — anyone can drive in for those, and plenty of people from the village do.

The Saturday music

Two amps and a lot of folding chairs

Two or three local duos rotate through July and August — folk and blues, mostly acoustic, one amp between them. They play the pavilion apron so you can listen from the beach, or from your site if you are in Loop A. It stops at 9:30 pm, and it is quiet enough that the far loops do not hear it.

It is not a concert and we do not sell tickets. Someone plays, people bring chairs, and the kids run around on the grass until the movie starts.

Dana sets the season each April and updates this page then, and mid-season if a truck cancels. If you are planning a trip around a particular night, call and check before you drive.
