Are there showers and bathrooms available?
Yes, nice restrooms are on-site and plentiful. And we will have a cleaning service to keep them nice and tidy.
I'm new to camping, can I still come if it's my first time?
Yes, it's for All
campers, both old and new. This will be a great time to make new camp
cousins and visit with the ones you already know.
What is the difference between a premium tent site and dry tent?
Dry tent means that you bring your own water and electricity (power bank, no generators). No worries, it's easy and the great news is that if you are tent camping, you probably already have all the items you need around your house.
No generators, but feel free to bring your power banks or other quiet solar options.
