				Eve and Christmas Day; and New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
4. Cabins and lodges require a two-night
				minimum stay.
5. Cabin guests are
				allowed two vehicles for a one or two bedroom cabin, and three vehicles for a
				three bedroom cabin per day without charge of parking fee. Additional vehicles
				must pay the prevailing parking fee for each day that the vehicle is parked in
				the park. The number of vehicles allowed to park at the cabin varies according
				to site design and other factors. All vehicles must park in designated parking
				areas, either at the cabin or in the designated overflow parking
				area.

				overflow parking area.
7. Damage to
				cabins and other rental units under this section, not considered normal wear
				and tear, may be billed to the person registered for the cabin or rental unit
				on an itemized cost basis.
8. Each
				member of the rental party, up to the maximum allowable for the rented unit,
				may receive an entrance pass to the park's swimming facility on the basis of
				one pass per night of rental. Passes are only issued during days and seasons of
				operation of the swimming facility and are only good during the member's
				registered stay.
9. Employees of
				DCR and the members of committees and boards of DCR shall receive a discount of
				50% on applicable cabin or lodge rates for any season, when the rental of such
				cabins or lodge is in connection with the official business of DCR or its
				committees or boards.
Notes on cabin or lodge transfer/cancellation/early departure
				  policy:
1. Any fees to be refunded are
				calculated less the applicable cancellation fees listed in this
				section.
2. Fees paid to the
				reservation center by credit card will be refunded to the original credit card
				charged.
3. Fees paid by check or
				money order to the reservation center, or by any method at the park, will be
				refunded by state check.
4. A
				customer may move a cabin or lodge reservation to another date or park,
				referred to as a transfer, through the reservation center only, and prior to 5
				p.m. on the Monday before the scheduled date of arrival. There is an associated
				transfer fee. After 5 p.m. on the Monday before the scheduled date of arrival,
				cancellation is the only option (see note 5 below) except that transfers to a
				different cabin or lodge for the same rental nights shall be allowed, subject
				to availability, up to the check-in time for the original
				reservation.
5. Once the
				reservation is paid for, a customer may cancel in full with payment of the
				required cancellation fee if there are more than 30 days before the scheduled
				arrival date. As long as the reservation is not during the one-week minimum
				stay requirement period, the length of stay may be reduced without a fee as
				long as there are more than 30 days before the scheduled arrival. However, the
				length of stay cannot be less than two nights. During the 30 days prior to the
				scheduled arrival date, the cancellation fee is charged for each night canceled
				or reduced from the stay. Once the official check-in time on the scheduled
				arrival date is reached, the cancellation policy is no longer in effect and the
				early departure policy applies.
6.
				Once the 3 p.m. check-in time is reached on the scheduled day of arrival, any
				adjustment to a reservation is considered an early departure. There is a
				two-night minimum charge associated with all cabin, lodge, camping cabin,
				travel trailer, and camping lodge stays. Reducing the total nights stayed will
				incur a $20 per night fee. If the original reservation was for a week, the
				weekly discount will no longer be valid and the fee will be adjusted to the
				nightly rate before any refunds are calculated.
Statutory Authority: § 10.1-104 of the Code of
					 Virginia.
