Parking Concerns

The site we are using is a very beautiful location with air conditioned bunkhouses and two halls. We are able to have an artisan village and main faire in two separate buildings. However, there are a few rules and restrictions that I would like everyone to know about before arrival so that things run more smoothly. There is very limited parking in the area of the site that we will be using, because of this we are asking everyone (unless you have a special need) to troll in, unload, and then move your car to the parking area at the front of the camp. For those who would like, we will be offering a shuttle back to the area with the halls and bunkhouses. For all of those that will be in the primitive cabins and camping area we are only allowed two cars in this area at one time. The site is very strict regarding this rule. Please understand that we will be carefully monitoring as vehicles enter and exit this area. No one will be able to leave their vehicle in this area as it will be for loading and unloading only. We greatly apologize for these inconveniences but they are really a small price to pay for the beauty and setup of this camp. If you have any questions about these policies please contact Ginevra Brembati (Vicki Johnston) at vittoria418@yahoo.com or 706-799-9518.
