Camping Guide:
Bring your own tent and camping gear, bedrolls, air mattress, blankets, etc. We do not furnish electric or water at the campsites. No firepits unless approved by our campsite manager.
If there is rain in the forecast, we suggest stringing a tarp over your tent. Check the level of the ground and if there is a slope, create a berm to direct water flow from your tent as water does flow across the land in heavy rain, but will soak up fast once it stops raining. Be sure to bring adequate drinking water and food. For our larger events we usually have a food vendor, check the event guide to make sure.
This is the woods, there are insects,( some that sting), snakes and other animals, like raccoons, opossums, armadillos, etc. Don’t leave out food at night or they might visit. Do not try to catch or pet any of these animals, they are not tame. If you see a snake, inform one of our staff and we will get our snake wrangler to take care of it. Do not kill it even if you think it might be poisonous. Do not try to catch it either.
if you have allergies to insect bites, please bring emergency supplies. We do not have epi pens ans are not authorized to administer much more than an ice pack and bandaids. We are not medical professionals. We can not administer any medications. We can call 911 for you, at your cost, in the case of an emergency.
We practice a Leave no trace, pack it in, pack it out policy. The dumpster at the end of thevroad is not ours, do not put your trash in it. For ourvlarger even, one of our members that runs a trash service, brings out a trailer for our trash. Please be sure your trash is bagged before putting it in the trailer. They unload it by hand, don’t make it harder to unload. As they pay to dispose of this, donations to them are greatly appreciated. You can find them at Liaria’s Lair in the Merchant’s area.
