Floods
Waterfront Parks are beautiful to go camping on; however, with them, comes one big drawback...
In the event of a flood at Mill Bridge Village during your stay, it is vitally important that every Guest knows the proper procedures & protocols to follow to save both themselves & their belongings from harm.

Terms To Know
'Flood Watch' = means that the possibility of a flooding event is favorable to occur (MEDIUM RISK)
'Flood Warning' = means that a flood is imminent or is already happening (HIGH RISK)
'Flash Flood' vs. A Regular 'Flood' = A Flash Flood is a fast-moving flooding event defined by its quick onset. A regular Flood takes more time to develop & is still dangerous but not as fast-moving. (DANGEROUS RISK)
What Do I Do? Where Do I Go?
If a Flood Watch or Flood Warning has been issued, follow these orders:
Walk over & keep an eye on the Campground's Flood Level Measuring Indicator found underneath the back bridge of the park in between Site Locations #012 & #013.
In times of intense rainfall, the stream can raise 1ft every 30 minutes.
If the water rises above the 7ft mark, we will issue the order to begin Stage 1 Evacuation of the Campground.
If the water rises above the 9ft mark, we will issue the order to begin Stage 2 Evacuation of the Campground.
Stage 1 Evacuation
ONLY Stream-Side Site Locations (ALL Stream-Side Sites) will need to do one of three things:
Get in contact with the Front Desk to 'edit' their reservation to a Site Location located in the inner area of the park (temporarily) until the flood subsides.
If there's no availability to do this, you will need to pick one of the other two options instead.
Billing is subject to change.
Evacuate to the Walmart Parking Lot on Lincoln Highway & wait out the flood temporarily there until your Site Location is cleared for re-admittance.
Refunds are issued 'per each night' your reservation was affected by the flood.
Check-Out your reservation from the park & leave entirely.
