Prairie RV Park & Campground - INDEMNIFICATIONS AND HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT

I am renting a camping space from PRAIRIE RV Park & Campground with the non-exclusive use of its facilities in Lowell Township near Crookston Minnesota.  I will be given sufficient space for an RV  campsite and will be allowed to use the grounds surrounding the campsite and the land contained on the farmstead.  There are ______ (number) of people in my party.  I represent to PRAIRIE RV Park & Campground that I will be responsible for furnishing a copy of this agreement to all members in my party.  If I am not the group leader and am not authorized to sign on behalf of all members of my party, then I will see to that all members sign this agreement below.  If any member of my party is below the age of 18 years, is incapacitated, or is unable to sign or to understand this agreement, I will be responsible for that person and will see to it that that person abides with the intent of this agreement.

I will be camping out and enjoying the use of facilities that are in the open prairie.  I understand certain things go with the territory when you are in the open prairie.  In that regard, I agree to inspect the facilities and the grounds and to assume responsibility for myself and other members of my party for all activities that will be occurring on the premises.  I promise to be observant to my surroundings, including footing, slick spots, moveable objects,  living creatures etc.  

If I use a campfire, I represent to PRAIRIE RV Park & Campground that I have done so before and that I am aware of the dangers of being around hot coals and open flames.  I agree to look out for all personal property, which I bring on the premises and will not hold PRAIRIE RV Park & Campground liable for any property that might become lost, stolen, or damaged for any reason.

I understand that the premises, which I am renting, are for the enjoyment all the guests of the campground.  I give permission to PRAIRIE RV Park & Campground to use any and all lawful means to remove me from the premises if, in their opinion, I become a nuisance or a threat of harm to myself or to those around me.  If I or anyone in my party will be drinking alcoholic beverages, I promise that we will do so in moderation and with the knowledge that there may be others present who would object to the consumption of alcoholic beverages.  I will not take glass containers of any kind outside the area of my campsite.  I promise to respect the property of myself and others on the premises.  I will not abuse or destroy any property, including trees and other vegetation or any other farm buildings or equipment.

In considerations of being allowed to rent the premises, I agree to be observant concerning the matters above and to hold PRAIRIE RV Park & Campground, their agents, employees, and personnel and John Reitmeier and the Reitmeier Family, harmless from any and all actions or inactions of myself or for those whom I am responsible.  I further agree to indemnify PRAIRIE RV Park & Campground, their agents, employees, servants and personnel, and John Reitmeier and the Reitmeier Family, from any and all claims of myself or those I am responsible for arising out of the use of the premises, said indemnifications to include costs and expenses of suit and attorney's fees incurred as a result of defending such claims.

(Wow these rules seem pretty tough!  Why is that.   Here's the simple answer.  We've traveled the world since 1982.  We've stayed in $350/night hotels and in $3.oo per night campgrounds.  It's seems for every 100 people out there, 98 are folks you could trust your life with from the first moment you met them.  The other 2 would pick your pocket while you were bending over to help them with their bags.  If you're in the 98, COME, STAY, ENJOY and RETURN!  We're just trying to weed out the other 2 :-)
