When planning your stay, please be prepared for outdoor conditions and changing weather. Monitor the forecast prior to arrival and pack accordingly. If rain is expected, bring rain-appropriate gear.

Bring a sleeping bag appropriate for the season, as the tepees do not have heat or air conditioning. The covered wagon does include heat and air conditioning. Each tepee and wagon is equipped with four cots, and two of the tepees have electricity available should you wish to bring an air mattress.
