The site is a campground with sleeping accommodations available. 
There are 92 spots total, 62 in heated cabins, some in yurts, and 
the last spaces being mattresses in a loft. There will be additional 
limited space for those who would just like to come for the day. 
Please get your reservations in early as we have a finite number of 
sleeping spaces. Spaces will be assigned first come- first served 
with the heated cabins going first (unless someone specifically 
requests a yurt). All you need to bring is yourself, feast gear, and 
bedding. If you are coming from out of kingdom you can make advanced 
arrangements if you are unable to bring your own bedding. With 
advanced noticed we will also be able to supply some cooking 
equipment and supplies for those coming from out of area to teach.

Here are some images of the site (including one of the yurts):

This is a girl scout camp, so it's a bone dry site (no alcohol at 
all, not even for cooking). We are looking into whether brewing and 
vinting might be allowed as it wouldn't be alcoholic at that point.
