There is a new map for the campgrounds posted on FB.

It looks like there is clan camping but I am trying to find more detail.  Terre, would you please let us know what the plan is for this?  Are we to reserve areas or will it still be first come, first serve?

Thanks

Terre, is there anyway that Clans and people that camp there on a regular basis can come out and preview the campgrounds maybe the week or two before the faire opens so we can see the new layout and get a feel for it?  The RV pods are running right through where my groups been camping the last few years so I'm fairly sure that we'll have top find a new spot.

What effort will be made to contact the "clans" that do not post here or any other common board?

The best think for now is to not get excited about change.  While we have roads, pods and clan circles in this drawing they are really just gravel roads.  Roads to be used for RV, Tent and Campers.  Your group can go take over a pod, or a clan circle or stay in the same area you were in.  My orginal idea was to have these areas to make the gathering places more accessable for the clans.  Maybe installing a 30' flag pole to fly colors and really help you guys dress up the areas, make it more exciting, colorful.  I don't have a problem showing you the area before we open and you know I will keep posting pictures as we build these areas.

I would love to come up to see the improvements as well, and to thank you in person for all that you are doing.  Please post here when you decide on a date.

Terre, have you started working on the campgrounds?  I've seen all the wonderful pics that you've posted on the TRF FB page of the improvements in the grounds itself but nothing of the campgrounds.

Looking forward to the photos.  Thanks, Terre.

I wonder, if we all write into Google could we get them to take a picture of the faire grounds on the Halloween weekend?
