PETS: WEIGHT LIMIT – MAXIMUM 60 LBS

1.   Pets must be confined inside the RV unless being exercised, during which time they must be kept on a leash. No pets can be tied out or in an outdoor kennel.  You must be with your pet while it is outdoors.

2.   Please be aware of the Delaware leash law that requires all pets to be leashed while at our campground, this is even if you do not use a leash at home.  6’ leash only, NO extension leashes permitted.

3.   Please pick up after your pet.  In the event you do not have waste bags, we will provide them for you.

4.   Pets are not permitted in the public areas to include, bath houses, recreation areas, including the pool, pavilion, volleyball, horseshoe areas, camp store, fitness room, mini golf and playground.

The only pets that are permitted are dogs with a maximum weight of sixty pounds (60 lbs), cats, and domestic birds that are in cages. No exotic/wild pets or farm animals of any kind will be permitted.

Breed Restrictions: Pit Bulls, Pit Bull Mix Breeds, Dobermans, Rottweiler’s and Chows are not permitted as pets in Tall Pines. If a Licensee brings one of these restricted breeds into the Tall Pines community to replace a pet or as another added pet, the Licensee will be immediately instructed to remove all restricted pets from their property and face probable termination of their License Agreement.

Cats: Residents who have cats must keep these animals inside their RV’s, or on a leash when outside. Cats cannot be left to run loose at any time. Any resident found allowing their cat to run loose will be asked to remove the cat from the Tall Pines Community. The feeding of stray cats is absolutely not permitted. This causes the animal to stay in the community, breed, and also results in health and safety problems. Stray cats carry diseases and any resident found feeding these strays will be turned over to the Department of health. Curbing of pets is not permitted in the playground, pool, recreation areas or pavilion.

All dogs must be licensed. This is required by the State of Delaware. Violators face a fine of $50 to $100 for the first offense.  Your animal must wear the license tag on their collar or leash at all times.

You are required to register your pet at the Tall Pines office. This will include a certificate of license, proof of current rabies and distemper shots and a picture of your pet. Effective with the 2011 camping season, upon registration you will be given a pet ID tag to place on the pet’s collar. Please be advised, that in order for your pet to be considered Grandfathered for the pet weight restriction rule change from 2006 or for the breed restriction change placed in 2009, IT MUST ALREADY BE REGISTERED IN OUR MANAGEMENT OFFICE.

Should any pet become a nuisance, its immediate removal will be required. No fences or doghouses are permitted. Pets are not to be tied outside unattended at any time. If any pet is found loose it will be turned over to the S.P.C.A. Any pet that bites and/or attacks another person; or person’s pet or damages public or private property will be removed from the Tall Pines property immediately and for the safety of our residents will not be permitted back in the community. 

Residents are required to have pet waste disposal bags with them while walking their pet. Anyone found walking their pet without a pet waste disposal bag will be considered in violation of our pet guidelines. 

Remember - Pet waste transmits disease, so please clean up after your pet.

Thank you!
