Question 3

What time do the gates open?

Accepted Answer

Thursday 5-10PM, Friday 3-10PM, Saturday 12-3PM, Sunday 12-3PM. Campers are welcome to arrive on the property from 5pm on Thursday. Please note the check in times (and gate closing times) are firm, as described. Campers will not be permitted to enter the property past 10PM - unless specifically requested in advance to our team. We have a late check in fee available to accommodate late arrivals from 10pm-12am - this must be paid in advance so that our team can accommodate your arrival. For late arrivals, we will have a designated camping area set aside for you. This extra fee of $50+hst (per vehicle) will cover after-hour staffing costs and to accommodate having a team member to direct you to your campsite. No late arrivals will be accommodated beyond this. Please note - it is challenging to choose a campsite and set up your tent in the dark. We appreciate your cooperation while we manage the most seamless check in process for you and your fellow campers.

Are meals included?

Accepted Answer

Meals are not included, unless you purchased our Meal Plan.

Additional food will be available via our on-site vendors. Meal Plans can only be purchased in advance. We sell out EARLY every year so grab yours while you can!

Question 6

Why do you suggest getting the meal plan?

Accepted Answer

It helps us reduce our camper waste substantially and we feel the overall camper experience is much more positive. 'Breaking bread' as a community is integral to our vibe. Plus, you don't need to worry about shopping, prepping, cooking and cleaning during your experience – this leaves much more time to really dive into FUN!

We do have water available at Main Camp and during programming however campers must bring a personal supply to leave by your tent as we will not be providing your drinking water throughout the weekend. Please no small bottles or anything under 3L.
