2. The 30 day camping period starts upon the initial day of entrance in the campground.
3. An additional 14 days of camping may be requested by submitting a completed CELMK Form 2209 – Request for Extension for Camping Stay. This form can be obtained at the Grenada Lake Field Office or from a Park Ranger. All requests for extension must be approved by the Lake Manager at least two days before the final day of camping. Approval of an extension is based upon the compliance with Title 36 Rules and Regulations, project policies, and state/local laws. Receipt of a written warning or citation will result in an automatic denial of extension.

8. National Recreation Reservation System (NRRS - ReserveUSA.com) – General rules governing camping are provided on the web at reserveUSA.com. If determined that the NRRS has been utilized in a manner that violates campground policy (such as using two different names to make back-to-back reservations to exceed the established camping stay limits), appropriate corrective actions will be taken. Corrective actions will require that camping equipment be removed from the area immediately, cancellation of the reservation through NRRS without refund, and potential issuance of a citation.
