Individual Camping Gear

Every camper needs these things.

 

—Clothing- You want to stay dry and warm, so dress in layers. Bring extra wool socks, a warm jacket for night, and a rain layer. Bring comfortable, closed-toe shoes good for the woods. Water-resistant if possible. Rubber boots or shoes are a big bonus.

 

—Toiletries- Wet Wipes are great to have along. Toothbrush, toothpaste, razors, makeup and beauty products are all optional. We’ll have port-a-lets and water containers, but no sinks or running water.

 

– Facilities – There is electricity and running water on the farm, but not located at our glamp areas.   We have exceptionally clean portables.  At this time (soon to come) we do not have dependable access to showers. (soon to come).

 

—Headlamp or flashlight—cheap is fine! But we have plenty for you to borrow.

 

—Water bottle with a clip for walking trails. We’ll have water tanks for refills.

 

—Earplugs (we have them for you if needed)

 

WHAT NOT TO BRING

—Limit cell phones- It is important to be present but we all have lives outside of camp- just use sparingly

—Heavy gear or supplies.

Even though it’s comfortable glamorous camping, some CAMPING 101 basics still apply…..

 

Moisture is the enemy of comfort. Keep that in mind as you make choices. What gets wet, stays wet. Synthetic is better than cotton. Wool is fantastic.

 

Wear good, water-resistant shoes- the farm can be muddy.

 

Our accommodations do not have heat or air conditioning (other than that from nature). 

 

Always keep the doors zipped shut unless you are actively accessing the tent. You don’t want to sleep with critters and bugs.

 

Locate your headlamp and have it with you before dark. Keep it around your neck for easiest access.

 

Make sure that anything you bring (clothes, gear, etc) is as versatile and multi-functional as possible. It is much better to bring 5 things than 25 things.

 

Put all trash into a trash bag immediately. Things will blow around and get scattered very quickly.

 

If you go to bed first, put in your earplugs. Tents do not block sound. The rest of your group

should not be expected to get super quiet since you chose to call it a night.
