Pet Policy

THE FOLLOWING POLICIES DO NOT PERTAIN TO SERVICE ANIMALS. INQUIRE ABOUT PORT OF KIMBERLING’S SERVICE ANIMAL POLICY.

Port of Kimberling Marina & Resort LOVES PETS!  We know that pets are part of our guests’ family and we want families to enjoy their time here together.  We also respect the wishes of customers who don’t want to encounter other people’s pets for health or other reasons.  In recent seasons, a handful of guests chose to ignore or evade our then-current policies, and the result of those decisions led to injuries to persons and other pets, arrests, property damage and eviction from the premises.  In the interest of everyone’s health, safety and enjoyment of the area, we observe the following policies regarding pets. All customers checking in at any area of the property must sign the Port of Kimberling Pet Policy Agreement; annual slip customer execution of a lease constitutes an agreement to observe the Port of Kimberling Pet Policy.
