What a Stay Feels Like
A stay at Camp Site #1 is a deliberately low‑technology experience: spread out a tent on grass, move among trees and neighbors with quiet respect, and rely on your own water and power systems. The campground encourages leaving no trace and following community rules so families and groups can enjoy nights under the canopy and mornings in a simple, shared setting.
