Some spots have fire rings, some don’t. We are working on getting more, but in the meantime you’re welcome to bring your own. Or feel free to dig out a little hole. It works great and is easy to extinguish when you fill it back in and bury it. Please do not bury any trash. 

Typically, you will experience a rare kind of solitude and silence that feels….  other-worldly, with incredible sunrises and sunsets filling the enormous skies. 

On holidays, however, expect it to be busy. 

Our dogs are working dogs and they are more than  happy to help keep you and your pets safe. Please help make their jobs easier by not leaving any food or trash in or around tents. 

Please keep your pets on leash or under control until you’re comfortably certain they get along with our dogs. And please report any issues promptly. 

This year we have a new Great Pyrenees to greet you, her name is Boudicca and she’s excited to meet everyone! Returning this season is 12 year old KayLee, also a GP and and Finn, our little dude from Alaska. 

Quiet time begins at 10:00 pm. 

Note: Holidays still offer the excellent location and spectacular views, but are likely to be less quiet and far more busy. We typically do not strictly enforce quiet time during holidays.
