In this blog post, we’ll explore the various unique amenities offered by campsites that are often not covered by traditional policies, thus creating the need for additional coverage.

Campsite Amenities: Risks and Risk Management Tips

Inflatables:
Inflatables like bouncing castles, slides, and obstacle courses are a favorite among campers of all ages. However, these attractions can pose risks such as trips, falls, and collisions.

To mitigate these risks, campsite owners should:

• Regularly inspect and maintain inflatables to ensure they are in good working condition.
• Enforce age and weight restrictions to prevent overcrowding and maintain a safe environment.
• Provide proper supervision and trained staff to monitor the use of inflatables and intervene in case of any issues.

Ziplines:
Ziplines offer an exhilarating experience, allowing campers to glide through the air. However, they also come with inherent risks, including equipment failure, inadequate setup, and inexperienced participants.

To ensure safety, campsite owners should:

• Regularly inspect and maintain zipline equipment, including cables, harnesses, and pulleys.
• Provide comprehensive training to staff who operate and oversee the zipline activity.
• Require participants to undergo safety briefings and adhere to all safety instructions.
• Implement strict weight and age restrictions to ensure participants meet the requirements for safe ziplining.

Go-Karts:
Go-karts provide a fun and competitive activity for campers. However, go-karting carries the risk of collisions, injuries, and property damage.

To manage these risks effectively, campsite owners should:

• Establish clear and enforceable rules for go-kart operation, including speed limits and safe driving practices.
• Regularly inspect go-karts to ensure they are in good working condition.
• Implement safety measures such as protective barriers, proper signage, and adequate lighting on the go-kart track.
• Ensure that all participants receive proper training and provide supervision to prevent reckless driving.

Ropes Courses:
Ropes courses challenge campers to navigate obstacles while harnessed. The physical nature of this activity introduces the risk of falls, equipment malfunctions, and rope failures.

To minimize these risks, campsite owners should:

• Conduct regular inspections of ropes, harnesses, and other equipment to identify any signs of wear or damage.
• Provide comprehensive training to staff who oversee the ropes courses and ensure they are proficient in safety procedures and rescue techniques.
• Clearly communicate safety rules to participants and ensure that they are properly equipped with helmets and harnesses.
• Establish clear weight and age restrictions to ensure participants are physically capable of safely completing the ropes course.

Kayaking:
Kayaking offers campers the opportunity to explore bodies of water in a serene and adventurous way. However, changing weather conditions, strong currents, and inexperience can lead to accidents, capsizing, or collisions.

To ensure safe kayaking experiences, campsite owners should:

• Educate campers on proper kayaking techniques, including how to paddle, navigate, and respond to changing conditions.
• Provide well-maintained kayaks, life jackets, and safety equipment that meet or exceed recommended standards.
• Assess weather conditions before allowing kayaking activities and enforce restrictions if conditions are unsafe.
• Educate campers on the risks associated with kayaking and provide guidelines for safe behavior on the water.

Golf Carts:
Golf carts serve as convenient transportation options within campsites. Nevertheless, accidents involving golf carts can result in injuries to drivers and pedestrians.

To mitigate these risks:

• Implement strict rules and guidelines for the operation of golf carts, including speed limits and designated paths.
• Restrict underage driving and require valid driver’s licenses for all individuals operating golf carts.
• Regularly inspect and maintain golf carts to ensure they are in proper working condition, including brakes, lights, and steering.
• Educate campers on safe driving practices and provide clear signage to enforce the rules.

Guided Tours:
Guided tours allow campers to explore the surrounding environment under knowledgeable experts. However, unforeseen circumstances, rugged terrain, and wildlife encounters can pose risks.

To ensure safe tours, campsite owners should:

• Employ experienced and knowledgeable tour guides who are well-versed in the terrain and wildlife of the area.
• Conduct thorough risk assessments of the tour routes, including potential hazards and contingency plans for emergencies.
• Educate campers on the importance of following safety instructions and guidelines provided by the tour guides.
• Establish communication protocols and emergency response plans in case of accidents, injuries, or other unexpected incidents during tours.

Bars and Special Events:
Bars and special events create a vibrant atmosphere at campsites, but they bring their own risks. Alcohol consumption, increased foot traffic, and potential accidents during these events can expose campsite owners to liability.

To manage these risks effectively:

• Implement responsible alcohol service practices, including checking IDs, monitoring consumption, and cutting off individuals who show signs of intoxication.
• Have adequate staff and security personnel present to manage crowds, prevent conflicts, and ensure a safe environment.
• Conduct regular inspections of the event area to identify and address any potential hazards or safety concerns.
• Clearly communicate event rules and safety measures to participants, and provide clear instructions on emergency procedures.
