Camping Hints:
Remember, you are camping in a farmer's field at a time of year when the weather can include hot days, cold nights, rain, wind, and other variations.

1) Bring warm sleeping gear and clothes for all types of weather. It is best to bring clothes that can be layered.

2) Wear shoes, sneakers, boots, or other footwear appropriate to the site at all times. The ground is rough and there are many hazards to bare feet.

3) Bring plenty of sealable plastic bags to wrap articles of clothing.

4) Bring all personal toiletries or medications you will need, including sunscreen and bug repellent.
