FOOD:

This is a "cook your food" camp unless you choose to use the restaurant /snack shack, drive to a nearby restaurant or have food delivered. As such, as a circle, you should plan your meals accordingly. (TBD Saturday Catered Dinner) We will, of course, have Midnight Meat on Saturday evening.

PARKING/LOADING:

Easy parking and paved paths to load/unload - Tent sites are on the sand steps away from the paved path!  You will park in the dirt/gravel lot. DO NOT park anywhere else, you will get towed. Then, get your wagons and take the camp gear down to the group camping area  By quick measurement, it's about 1500 feet from the parking lot to the camp site. Bring a wagon, the distance to unload from the Parking Lot to the camping area is fairly long, but paved.VIEW MAP

SUGGESTED PACKING LIST:
