    All Service Dogs are permitted, and if necessary for the purpose of completing a service task supporting the owner’s disability, may be unleashed. All service dogs must be under the control of the owner, and may not in any way disrupt any other patrons, businesses, or the event itself.

    Emotional Support Animals are not governed for admittance under the ADA. However, HFF will welcome a visitor’s EMA if the animal is leashed/restrained and under the control of the owner, and may not in any way disrupt any other patrons, businesses, or the event itself.

    The above policies remain in effect for dogs/Service Dogs/pets/EMAs in the camping area rented by HFF camping guests.

    No guest with a dog, Service Dog, or EMA may engage in entertainment of HFF guests for that sole purpose, as to interfere with activities provided by HFF and may not collect money for said acts. Service Dogs or EMAs are of course expected to perform the task(s) with which the animal has been engaged for their owner should the need arise.

    It is important to understand that other species of animals will be present at HFF for the enjoyment and entertainment of HFF guests. 

    HFF reserves the right to require a pet dog or a Service Dog, or an Emotional Support Animal (in accordance with ADA Policies) to leave if the animal is not housebroken, or if the animal is out of control, and the owner cannot get the animal under control. 

    Should the viability of a Service Dog’s admittance and/or continued stay after admittance be at issue, HFF is permitted under law to ask the following questions in regard to Service Dogs: (a) If the animal is required because of a disability and; (b) What work or task the animal has been trained to perform.
