Tent Reservation Instructions

NEW 2023

We are now allowing tent reservations at Murtaugh Lake RV Park and the Rick Novacek RV Park (formerly known as the Murtaugh Lake Cove RV Park). Please follow these instructions carefully to understand how tent reservations will work.

1. Please be aware, there are no designated “sites”, just general areas, for tent camping. There is also no electricity or water hook-ups for tent camping.
2. When making a tent reservation, you will notice they have numbers per each tent reservation, i.e. 01, 13, 29. These numbers will be important upon arrival, so please choose the lowest available number.
3. Once you have chosen a number, fill out the need information to the best of your knowledge. Once in information has been filled out, proceed to the payment.
4. Once your reservation has been paid for, your next step will take place once you arrive at the campground.
5. When you arrive at the campground, you will look for a green shop and located on the North side of the shop next to the bulletin board, there will be a tent numbers board. You will need to grab the numbered sign that corresponds to the number of your paid reservation.
6. Once you have located your correct sign, you will proceed to any of our marked designated tent camping areas.
7. Once you have set up your tent, you will place the sign in the grass in front of your tent.

We allow 1 change per year per person. If a 2nd change is desired, you will need to get approval by the parks director in writing. This process can be lengthy, so please plan accordingly. 

If you have made a reservation and need to change a date: Please email the office at [email protected] with the date change request. Please be sure to include any relevant information.

If the date you need to change your reservation to is still available, the date will be changed immediately and the previous date will be re-opened to the public. 

Please DO NOT reserve the second date and ask to cancel the first date. You will not receive a refund.

COMING 2023: We will still allow cancellations, however, the money used for the reservation will only be refunded as an “in-store credit”. It will show up on your account and will be able to be used for the remainder of the season. At the end of the season, it will be forfeited. No cash refunds are allowed.

Please contact the office if you are requesting your fees to be waived.
