Can we have a fire?

Yes! Our fire pits meet the standards set by the county so that they can even be used during a burn ban. All fires MUST be kept inside the fire pit or a bbq pit.

What should we bring?

A light source is a must as we do not artificially light the campground although we do have dim lighting inside each yurt. We also encourage all of our guests to bring drinking water, sunscreen, mosquito spray, camping chairs, and anything else you might need. We supply bath towels, soap, shampoo, and firewood, and long burning logs (seasonal).

You may, but it must be kept under your control at all times. Your animal is your responsibility. If it is causing issues, you and your animal will be asked to leave.
