2020 Camping Season

2020 Camping Season

Hi again everyone,

The Town Council for Glocester has just met and agreed to mirror their covid19 regulations with the state

So that now means that I can officially welcome you for the season.  Still seasonal campers only at this time.  Sorry for the delay, but Thursday nights is when they have meetings.

Now just because they are opening things up, that does not mean they are relaxing the rules.  You must social distance, do not associate with more than five people per day and always write down who they are.  Always wear face coverings and gloves when off your site or except when you are in your car or away from the dock driving your boat.

The bathrooms, rec halls, playgrounds and even the office are closed until further notice.

As I told you last posting, I did break my arm and I would ask you to be patient with me.  I have had a few problems getting the water system going in all areas, however I do believe I will have it all up running by tomorrow afternoon.

If any of you experience problems, please call the office to let me know.

Hopefully, the credit card machine will be up and running by Friday, mid-day.

If you wish to stay overnight you may, but only if your fees are paid in full.

It is not predicted to be a great weekend weather-wise, with snow expected Friday night and 28 degrees for a low Sunday morning.  We’ll see how hardy you all are!

John

PARKING

There is No Parking in empty sites or along roadsides, at any time, for any reason. We must keep the roadways clear for emergency vehicles, therefore there can be no exceptions. Also, because someone may get to their assigned site only to find it blocked by parked vehicles, we cannot allow this rule to be ignored.

Update 2020 Camping Season

Hello everyone!

The state has at long last given us permission to open, although I have to let you know there are lots of restrictions

  1. For starters, it really is for long term stays (seasonals) only and really only so that seasonals can use and enjoy their second or vacation home.
  2. For now, all facilities in the park are to remain closed until further notice.  That includes the office, bathrooms, rec halls and playgrounds.
  3. You will be allowed some recreational activities but you must observe social distancing guidelines without fail.  I will have zero tolerance for anyone who disobeys the rules, and you will face forced eviction to rte 44 without refund if you fail to comply.
  4. So for now, come to your site with your day’s necessary provisions, get it cleaned ready to go, and make the best of the summer.
  5. This allowance is subject to weekly changes and can be revoked at any time, so just accept it and deal with it.  This is clearly an unusual situation which we have no control over.  Welcome to the new reality.
  6. You must respect the health of our employees.  Always wear personal protective gear when dealing with them.  Try to do as much as you can over the phone, email or website.
  7. Denise will be in the office this weekend from 9 – 6 both Saturday and Sunday.  You must go to the side window for service, stay 6 feet apart if there forms a line, and wear PPE mask and gloves when dealing with her.

Have a good summer and keep checking the website for updates.

Yes, the water and electric are on!

John

P.S. – I fell yesterday and broke my wrist, so you will have to bear with me if it looks like we are not completely ready for you.

Camping Season 2020 Update

Camping Season 2020 Update
Hi to everyone. 

Hope you all are well and obeying all the directives relating to the coronavirus pandemic.

According to some of you on the chatter site:

  1.  I get a cut of all the fines imposed on violators of government directives.
  2. I receive personal updates every day no less, from Governor Raimondo

NEITHER OF THESE ARE TRUE!

The fact is, I know little more than the rest of you.  What I or we get, we get from the news.

Camping Season 2020 Update – THE FACTS ARE THAT THERE IS A STAY-AT-HOME ORDER IN EFFECT UNTIL MAY 7TH. That means that no one should even think of going to the campground until then.

camping season 2020 update on covid restrictionsWe are working diligently to get the park ready in time for the start of the season.  Hopefully the stay-at-home order won’t need to be extended and we can get the season going.

As we get closer to that date, I will inform you of what conditions, if any, are imposed on us at the time of opening.

In the meantime, stay safe.

John

Camping Season 2020 Message

Camping Season 2020 Message

Hi everyone I hope all of you are well or at least better than me.

I have been sick for most of the month of February and am sorry if some of you have received your camp bill a little late.  By now most of you have received your camp bill. I would ask that you follow the instructions on the bottom and send your payment in.

Some of you have made payments recently that may not be reflected in the latest  bill. Simply calculate those payments when figuring your bill.

Those of you that have paid nothing face possible eviction, therefore if payment is not received promptly, your trailer and belongings will be removed from the site.
Winter Storage ends on April 15 and anyone who is just storing needs to be out by that date.

Camping Season 2020 Message office will open April 30Camping Season 2020 Message The camp will open this year on April 30th, and the office will open on the weekend before from 8 to 5.  Only those who have paid in full for the season will be allowed to drive into the park. Please do not ask me for special treatment and expect to be allowed in earlier.

 I have received many cards and notes from many of you that you are counting down the days and can’t wait to go camping!

Hope to see you all healthy in the Spring.

John

Tax Bills From Glocester

Tax Bills From Glocester

A message from John Tillinghast

I have investigated  the subject of Trailer Taxes and wish to pass this on to all of you who may have an interest.

1. If your trailer is located any in part of the BROWN section or RED 6-32 and RED 48-66, or the GREEN section 1-7 and 26-29, or ORANGE section 55-80, you are in the Town of  Burrillville  and not subject to Glocester taxation.

2. If you pay excise taxes and they are current you do not have to pay twice

simply make a good copy of your paid tax receipt and send it in to the Glocester Tax Office. If she wishes, it is up to her pursue that tax money from the Town you paid the Tax.

3. Rhode Island is phasing out the motor vehicle Tax. If you wish to register your vehicle in RI you will probably get the cheapest Tax.

You will need to establish dual residency if you are out of State by having a P.O. box, an address (use the campgrounds) and, I understand, show that you receive some sort of bill at that address and that should be sufficient.

If you decide to pay the tax to Glocester you automatically are a resident of the Town and are allowed to vote at any of the financial meetings. You should exercise that right.

Passing of Mrs. T, Our Matriarch

Posted on by — 8 Comments ↓

Passing of Mrs. T, Our Matriarch

Anna Grace Madden Tillinghast, 91,

died peacefully July 30 at her home in Glocester, RI, of pancreatic cancer.

Born in Somerset, Massachusetts, on June 19, 1928, to John Madden and Elizabeth Holt Madden, she was the sixth of seven children.

A graduate of Somerset High School, she earned a B.A. from the Rhode
Island School of Design in Landscape Architecture in 1951. On graduation, she then
established her own architectural practice, designing buildings and landscaping for
clients in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

She designed numerous residences around Ocean Drive and Cliff Walk in Newport, in addition, the windmill at Hammersmith Farm for Hugh and Janet Auchincloss.

She also worked with the Preservation Society of Newport County in their efforts to conserve colonial architecture.

An active supporter of the arts, Anna was a trustee of the RISD Museum, and also an early supporter of the Newport Music Festival.

Passing of Mrs. T memoriesPassing of Mrs. T trophiesOn July 23, 1957 Anna married Alfred Earl Tillinghast. In 1970 they purchased land in Glocester, RI.  Subsequently in the succeeding years with the assistance of their three children, they built a family campground, Bowdish Lake Camping Area.

In 1971, along with a group of friends and parents, Anna established The New
School, an independent school in Newport. Anna also served as the first president of the
school, now The Pennfield School in Portsmouth.

Mrs. T was a loving and devoted mother and grandmother who will be deeply missed.
She is survived by her three children and their spouses: Guy Tillinghast and wife Kelly of
Yarmouth, Maine; John Tillinghast and wife Carrie, of Glocester, RI; and Jane Sherman and
husband Bruce, of Washington, DC. She leaves five grandchildren: Sam, Meredith
and Christopher Sherman and Evelyn and Benjamin Tillinghast. She also leaves a
sister, Dorothy Madden, of Deerfield Beach, Florida.

At her request, Anna’s body has been donated to the Brown Medical School.

A memorial service will be held August 17 at 11:00 am at St Mary’s Episcopal Church, 324 East Main Road, Portsmouth, RI. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Pennfield School.
