Tent camping is unlimited, and will be next to the tourney field. There
will be porta-johns at the hall and field, as well as shower houses a
short walk away.  No pets. The site is DRY. No firearms or fireworks are
permitted on site.  No ground fires except at the designated bardic
circle area.  Portable stoves are acceptable.  Parking may be a
challenge: If the nearby lots fill up, be prepared to take a shuttle
from a parking lot or hike a bit, and please remember that car pooling
is always good.

There are a limited number of dormitory-style rooms in the Oak Lodge by
the hall. There are 2-bed, 3-bed, and 4-bunk (8 people) rooms, with
restrooms and showers off the hallway. Photos of the rooms can be seen

restrooms to only those who are staying in the Lodge. 

For those who prefer to stay in a hotel, a block of rooms are being
reserved at an area hotel. [TBD]
