Want to know how to join in on the fun? Check out the following details regarding camping and participation.
The Group Campsite is limited to 120 people. That doesn't mean we can't have more folks visiting or for activities, that's just the limit of folks who can stay at the site overnight.
For Those who wish to stay and camp with us for the weekend, we will be collecting $15 per person or $45 per family (2 adults and up to 4 children). Registration & payment process can be found on the GCCO Campout Webpage. Act Quickly - The campsites have sold out months before the event the past two years!
Why the charges? GCCO has pre-paid for the campground. The $15 per person will cover this cost of camping and will help defray the costs of camper-only activities.
There is no charge for those who wish to stop by. We may have a small charge for non-campers to take part in some of the special activities (such as GCCO-Provided Meals).
There are few spots for RVs, with no services. Plese be sure to let us know if you will be in an RV or Camper/Trailer when you register.
Warning: local wildlife may make appearances, including bears.
Fishing is available - you are responsible for the fishing license, state laws apply.
There will be several events in the area this weekend as well. You are NOT required to attend the camp out to attend the events, nor are you required to attend the events if you are camping! There will be plenty of GCCO sponsored things to do if you choose to participate!
