The postmaster will hold these packages up to 30 days at no charge. There is also a paid fee option for 60-day general delivery. Any package that has the resort name listed on it will typically be returned as only team members of River Sands have authorization to accept packages addressed to the Resort.

Notices from the resort to our guests will be sent to the address that the guest provides upon registration and/or hand delivered to their site. If our guests desire to use a different address for notices, please advise the resort management in writing. It is strongly advised not to forward your mail to the resort due to the restrictions from the post office.

Sewer/Utilities: Ground disposal of grey or black water is prohibited. Connections must be tight with a collar or donut at the sewer outlet. No formaldehyde.

A sewer hose outlet elbow is required and a water pressure regulator is strongly recommended – both are available for purchase in the Resort Store.

General Conduct: Guests are responsible for their own conduct and for that of their guests, visitors, occupants, and invitees.
