Meet at Reynolds Park Campground, Idylease, parking lot at 5pm on Thursday, May 16.

These sites are similar to primitive sites rather than a campground where there is a designated "pad".  Each site has shade but no hammocks are allowed.  No strings or ropes are allowed on the trees in the campground.

Sites will accommodate two single tents or one two-person tent.

This is a dry camp - no water provided. You will need to bring all the water you intend to use for the night and the next morning.

Leader will schedule hikes prior to 5pm on Thursday and after check out on Friday morning once the roster is complete.

There is an outdoor privy about 1/4 mile from campground.
