Accommodations

Attendees have their choice of the following:

 

  • Sleep in the climate-controlled pavilions on a bunk that we provide or on your own mattress / bed that you have brought.   (You'll be able to choose a pavilion based on how late you like to stay up at night so you're with like-minded folk)
  • Members of a Clan who have a reserved camping spot during Faire season may use that spot during this weekend 
  • Adults who are not members of a Clan may set up camp in their own tent or RV in designated camping areas 
  • We have some electrical hookups for RVs available for an additional surcharge
  • There are 5 private bedrooms for rent in the castle

 

You can explore the accommodations options further during the registration process.
