RECEPTION CENTER, STORE & GIFT SHOP Since Normandy Farms is such a big place to visit (over 100 acres!), the best way to learn everything begins at the Reception Center. Here our Guest Service Specialists will assist you with your site arrangements, help plan your itinerary, arrange for future reservations, and help to provide you with everything you need to have the best vacation possible. You’ll also find the Gift Shop and General Store in the same location. BUSINESS & INFORMATION CENTER Deciding where to visit while at Normandy Farms can be as difficult as deciding what activity to join in. Stop by the Business & Information Center located in the Reception Center to visit our Concierge who will assist you in making dining reservations and help arrange your day trip outside the park complete with maps, literature, and a smile (seasonal availability). We know that work must get done even while vacationing, so we offer a full service business center complete with computers, printer, fax and Internet. LAUNDRY FACILITIES Three self-service laundry facilities with change machines and detergent dispensers are located throughout the park and are open 24 hours a day. DOG PARK Even our four-legged friends have their own place to play at Freedom Tail Park, where dogs are free to chase their tails! Our 1.5 acre dog park is complete with agility equipment, a dog wash and drinking fountain. We also have a designated area for smaller dogs (under 30lbs). Allow your dog to hang outside in the comfort of his or her very own custom Canine Coop complete with a dog house while you enjoy a little time by the pool or perhaps an afternoon of sightseeing. Click here to reserve a Coop and you will be given a unique key for access. If you prefer to leave your dog in your RV, we can take your dog out for a walk while you’re out (rabies certificate required). RESTROOMS Three full service restroom facilities complete with complimentary hot showers and toilets are conveniently located throughout the park and are open 24 hours. An additional restroom facility with toilets and sinks is located in Safari #4 (seasonally). Private restroom facilities for families or guests with special needs are also available.

All tours are based on the availability of a guide and are weather permitting.
