Yes, we provide a buddy heater to each tent. You are welcome to bring your own Coleman 1lb propane tank to use as we do not provide them.

We have two, dedicated areas for fires and our staff manages these for you. Each day we will have a fire made for you; and, we also host nightly dinners around the large bonfire. To protect the land, we ask that you do not light any fires whatsoever.
Can I smoke on the campsite?
Outdoors only, but please be mindful of other guests and dispose of your butts properly. Absolutely no smoking is allowed in the tents, tipi, saloon, oasis, and speakeasy.
Is there wildlife that can hurt me?
While we are not in bear country, there are smaller critters such as snakes, spiders, and even some plants which can hurt you. We encourage wearing enclosed shoes at all times and being aware of your surroundings when you are exploring. For the most part, they are more afraid of you than you are of them and will steer well clear.

We have quiet hours between 10PM - 7AM.

No. We recommend keeping valuables in your car.
