supervisor has the final say on placement of campers. Any campers not parked in the proper

towed at their own expense. Owners will hold the Ionia FREE Fair harmless for any damage
sustained to their trailer/camper while being towed.

    2.  One vehicle is permitted per campsite. No parking passes may be exchanged for a
    campground-parking pass. Any campsite with more than one vehicle on site will have the
    additional cars towed at the owner's expense. Owners will hold the Ionia FREE Fair
    harmless for any damage incurred during towing.

    3.  The Campground Superintendent will be on the grounds after 10:00AM Sunday, July
    13th, for arrival and parking of campers.   Thereafter, the Campground Supervisor will
    park campers daily after 1:00PM.  If campers come early and park in the wrong spot their
    camper will be removed at their expense. No campers will be allowed to park until Sunday,
    July 13th, after 10:00AM.  NO EXCEPTIONS!!
