<br>Turn Left on Golf Course Rd. Turn Left into the park entrance.<br>The entrance to GWW will be located at the parks "back" entrance - not the main<br>gate entrance.<br>We will NOT be using the parks main gate entrance off of Hwy 43 (S. Enos Ln).

http://www.caid-gww.org/</a><br>This is our best method to get accurate information to you as quickly as<br>possible. As we learn more about the site and work out event details we will post<br>information there first. Because this is a new site we must occasionally make
<br>changes to things we've done in the past. Please read the articles and<br>announcements on our web page carefully and check for changes regularly.<br><br>Notice to RV campers:<br>Our use area of the park will not include any full hook up sites for RV campers.
<br>We can only provide dry camping spaces (no water, electricity, or sewer) in a<br>paved or dirt lot. Dry RV sites can be reserved through GWW's normal Pre-Reg<br>process. Dry RV campers will be allowed to use the dump station at the full hook
<br>up site (approx. 1 mile from Dry lot).<br><br>If you require full RV hook ups you must contact Buena Vista Reservations<br>directly at 661-868-7050 or visit their web site at<br><<a href="http://www.co.kern.ca.us/parks/">
http://www.co.kern.ca.us/parks/</a>> to make a PRIVATE reservation. This<br>reservation WILL NOT include GWW site fees. Spaces are limited. The full hook up<br>area at Buena Vista is approximately one and a half miles away from the war site
<br>via a park road. No transportation will be provided between the full hook up<br>area and the war. Those with a private reservation with Buena Vista must enter<br>the park for camping through the main gate entrance on Hwy 43 and you will be
<br>required to check in to GWW via our gate on Golf Course Rd.<br><br>Volunteering<br>You've heard the old saying that "many hands make light work". Please consider<br>donating a few hours of your time to volunteer at the war. In addition to helping
<br>to make it a memorable event you will earn a monetary donation to your favorite<br>SCA territory. Contact our Volunteer Steward at <a href="mailto:volunteers@caid-gww.org">volunteers@caid-gww.org</a> for more<br>information.
