**Poison oak is present! Please know how to identify, or ask and I will show you** I have done my best to clear it away from main camping areas and trails, but be cautious. Tecnu is provided in the outdoor shower if needed!
**LEAVE NO TRACE//PACK IN, PACK OUT! Trash bags and bins are provided, but please take all of your trash with you, NO DUMPING! This includes compost, as to not attract animals and insects.**
**All guests have access to the outdoor shower, which is located on the 'Pad'.**
**COMPOSTING TOILETS- There is a composting toilet at each site; however, only the toilet at the 'Pad' (near the dome and shower) has a urine diverter. If one feels uncomfortable urinating outside, this toilet can be used. At the other two sites: PLEASE, poop only! Urinate outside and throw TP in trash or composting barrel (around back of toilet). Before use: Make sure bucket is lined with sawdust. After use: Cover waste with sawdust 3:1 and dump bucket in the composting barrel around back. Replace bucket and line with sawdust. Be Courteous! Thank you!** For humanure to break down properly, urine and feces must be kept separate. This is because the urea present in urine degrades into ammonia and kills the microbes that would otherwise break down the waste.
Campfires are allowed within local regulation.
**Absolutely no illegal activity of any kind or you will be asked to leave immediately with no refund. NO HARD DRUG USE!**
