The Baronesses’ Camping Hints For Wet Conditions At Warriors and Warlords (WW)

31 May

Greetings all! WW has informed us that the areas of the site have been heavily impacted by rain / previous events. Please be considerate of the following:

  • Drive on the road and minimize driving on the grass (other sites have had lots of driving, which has contributed to the site issues.)
  • Set-up tent on a hill, not a valley. I know this can be a challenge on this site.
  • Bring spare tarps / rugs for wetness management.
  • An under the bed storage tub OR a plant potting mat with a towel really helps with taking off / storing shoes inside a tent.
  • Tarps underneath a tent should not stick out / peek out from the sides of the tent. If using a modern tent, consider also placing a tent INSIDE to create a “floor tub”.
  • Bring extra bug spray / bug control. Consider low scent options due to neighbors with scent allergies / fans.
  • If you haven’t recently, re-water proof what’s needed.
