There are bathrooms with running water and drinking water available at multiple places around the campground.
This weekend is for families, couples, individuals — everyone is invited to join! (Please note that there will very likely be young children participating, but the campsite is large enough to allow for distance between tents/groups (and their respective noisiness at various hours).
