Tent Sites

From the first-time tent camper to the most experienced camper, you will find our sites perfect. Surrounded by tall timber, you feel like you are miles from civilization. However, you are only steps from a shower house, laundry, and flushing toilets. Many of our tent sites have electricity and water available (although bushes may hide it). A backcountry feels like the convenience of civilization.

If your stay includes a little rain, head down to the roomie rec hall and bring your cards, board game, or a good book.

Our tent sites have a fire pit, picnic table, and access to conveniently located showers and toilets.

Check out the sidebar for tips on making your stay even more enjoyable.

Helpful Tip: Selecting where to place your tent

Experienced campers know how to select where to place their tent just by looking at it. Because they have gained experience by making mistakes, here are a few tips to improve your experience.

  1. Look at overhead trees for dead wood. If there is a dead branch, stay away from it, as it could snap without warning.
  2. Look for higher ground. Do not place the tent in a low spot in the event of rain. You have not experienced camping until you have water running through your tent.
  3. Inspect the ground first by looking for tree roots, which can not be picked up and moved. Clear the area of all sticks and rocks. Lay out your ground cloth and lay down on it. Correct or move your location if you are uncomfortable before setting up your tent.
  4. If you end up on a slope, sleep parallel to the hill with your head on the higher side.

Helpful Tip: Marshmallow Sticks

How many of us purchase the small twisted wire marshmallow sticks because we don’t want to store longer sticks? You could buy retractable forks, but they are not cheap. Here is a trick: turn those small sticks into long-handled ones you will not burn yourself with. Purchase a few 3/8” dowels from the building center. Cut the twisted wire sticks off right after the handle where it starts to twist. Drill a hole in the end of the dowel slightly smaller than the twisted wire. Insert the wire into the new handle, and you will have a much longer stick. If the hole was drilled extensively, use a little epoxy, and it will not come loose.
