Dock space is limited to vessels less than 27 feet bow-to-stern, including any projections. Any vessel greater than 27 feet in length must use mooring buoys. Dinghies are allowed under the dock ramp to the main float.
Members are limited to a single (1) Dock/buoy space at any one time. Dock/buoy space is reserved on a first come first serve basis.
Anchorage is not permitted at any time in any areas that would impact vessels tied up to the RCC-owned moorage.
Seasons

Member Use
Members in good standing shall receive 14 days per lot owned per fiscal year (October 1-September 30) of free moorage space on a space available basis. Moorage is capped at 120 use days in any 12-month period.
Members and guests may be gifted and assigned a maximum of 14 free days per fiscal year from a Member in good standing who chooses to forego their rightful use of allocated days. Once the total free days per lot and gifted days have been exhausted, the member or guest will be charged per the Current Fee Schedule on a space available basis.
Free days are tracked in the campground reservation system.
Responsibility
All dock/moorage/buoy and use of the Marina is at the Member’s and guest’s own risk. It is the sole responsibility of the Member and their guests to properly secure their vessels while moored at the marina. Members are responsible for their guests and will be held liable for any damages, unpaid fees and/or fines incurred by guests.
The RCC, Marina Host and RCC employees shall not be responsible for any damage and/or loss caused by vessels.
Parking
Parking is available for members and their guests only in designated areas. A maximum stay of 12 hours is permitted for each vehicle and/or trailer. Extended parking requests can be made at the RCC Business Office or with the Marina Host.
Reservations
Only members may make reservations for themselves or their guests online, with the Marina Host or by calling the RCC Business Office. Reservations may be made starting the first working day in January.
Reservations are held until 6:00 PM of the arrival date. Cancellations must be made a minimum of 72-hours
in advance to avoid the reservation being charged against the Member’s free days or the daily rate being charged for all days cancelled. Unreserved spaces are available to Members and their invited guests on a first-come first-served basis.
Length of stay is reserved in 14-day blocks. Stays beyond 28 days may be requested. The maximum number of mooring days is 120 in any 12-month period.
A day of moorage begins and ends at 11:00 AM. Early arrivals or late departures must be approved by the Marina Host or RCC Business Office.
