CAMPING ASSIGNMENT INFO
- Approximately 8 weeks before event, camping department leaders make annual site visit to assess property changes from previous year. Department leaders review previous year's inventory, making necessary changes to provide updated number of sites available in each campground.
- All camping reservations kept in order by date/time. Campground assignments begin with first day sales, working forward. Assignments made to campground AREAS, not specific sites. Specific sites assigned upon arrival.
- Distance from main activity areas is primary criteria used in determining order to fill campgrounds.
- Campers are permitted to REQUEST specific campground. If space is available in requested campground on order date, the request is honored. If requested campground is full, assignment made to next available campground (ie this is only a request; there is no guarantee assignment will be made to campground requested).
- For groups desiring multiple sites within same campground, sites must be reserved on one order form, under one name. NO EXCEPTIONS. Reserving all same size/type campsites gives best chance of being assigned together when you arrive. Multiple sites of different size/type on one order form may be assigned in different sections of the campground.
- RV campers may have tents alongside RV's within boundaries of assigned RV site. Limit of 8 people per site applies.
- Requests for areas for which you are ineligible will be disregarded and assignment will be made to next available campground.
