The Bunkhouse

Bunkhouse Accommodations:  This has overnight accommodations for 40 people, for the following rates:  $15 per person or $35 per family per night.  Sheets, pillows, and blankets are provided.  The accommodations consist of cubicles with sleeping for 4 (2 bunk beds) and a dresser, with a curtain for privacy.  Shared restrooms and showers are available.  Access to the swimming pool is also included with these fees.  Not quite a hotel room, but not camping, either.  This is near the area that May's Munchables will be at, so you may hear their operation at night, but they will NOT be using a generator, so noise shouldn't be too much of an issue.  We do not keep the receipts for the Bunkhouse.  We will collect the fees for the bunkhouse when you arrive where they are then passed on to the site owner.

Campers Information

 There will be water at the bunkhouse near the runway, as well as showers and men's and women's flush toilets.  We will be providing additional Jiffy Johns to place along the taxiway, which is over 2500 feet long.  Participants will set up their camps along either side of the taxiway, and there will be a wide path between the camps for safe walking at night. There is no electric or water on the camping field. 

Camping is permitted on the taxiway on the south side of the runway.  The runway will be closed for the event, except for participants that wish to fly in.  Advance notice will be required for fly-ins, as we are allowed to use the runway for ballgames or other activities, including observing, but not camping.

Camping fees include the following:  the use of public showers and restroom facilities at the Little Hut, volley ball and horseshoes (equipment provided by owner), and trash removal.  We will provide trash bags to all attendees, as well as 55-gallon bags for the trash drums. The owner will collect the trash, however, we will ask all participants to take trash to either the dumpster or a central location.  We will be collecting the camping fees for the site owner upon your arrival.  Please let us know in advance if you plan to use the bunkhouse. The POOL is available for campers an extra fee, $6 per person per day (all ages), collected by the lifeguard.  Pool hours 11am-6pm.  No glassware permitted anywhere near the pool area. YCAS does not keep the camping fees.  They collect them on behalf of the event site owner.
