Hey all, I may be up in the area towards the end of July and thought I'd pack some ren garb and visit the faire. Is there any place to stay (hotel, camping, someone's floor) close to the faire? I'll be on a motorcycle so not having to ride (or ride far at least) would be a good thing at the end of the day. TIA.
There is a campground located within minutes of the faire. Can't think of the name of it right this minute, but i will get back with you with the name..
As for hotels , there are several located in Oswego, which is only a few minutes away.
There is the Econolodge, which has been a favorite in the past for faire goers. Although i stayed there once overnight, and there were bed bugs in our room.
Another favorite for faire goers is the Best Western Inn which is also located in Oswego.
Faire Haven beach Sate Park is located 10 minutes from the faire.
Also if you search thru the threads/subjects located under the " Sterling " area , you will find a thread titled " Places to stay " and there is mention of a few campsites and hotels. :)
Duh...I guess a search would have been a good first move. Anyway, thanks for the info on the campground. Oswego is a little farther (and more expensive) than I am looking for. Hell, ideally, I'd just sleep on the bike in the parking lot of the fair, but that seems to be frowned upon in polite society, ;).
Looks like Sutters Creek Campground is the closest place to faire. Looks like it might be the place to go.
I can say with little fear of being wrong but I think you will be welcomed at Sutter creek. There are a lot of Rennie's that camp there. Also ask around for any of the playtrons from clan McGeek, photomike or just hang around the Falstaff pub!
Any idea as to what weekend you will be there?
If I can swing it, I'll be there the weekend of July 24. Trying like hell to make it work. Always fun to visit a new faire.
I'll second PhotoMike's endorsement of Sutters Creek; my husband and I camped there last year, and it was very nice...plenty of rennies, a great bonfire (the weekend we were there - not sure if it's a regular thing), and it was very reasonably priced. I'm not sure if we're camping again this year, but we'll stay at Sutters if we do :)
Good deal. I should know if I'll be able to make it within the next few days. It's looking like if I do come up, I will be camping at Sutters.
SRF has an accommodations page on the website.
Campgrounds, B&B, Hotels, etc.
The list covers a 45 mile radius of the Festival.
Hope this helps!

Sterling Creek Campgrounds is also very close and has a lot of "regular" rennies.
we booked the All Seasons Inn...any feedback on that place? I figure I can endure (almost) anything for one night. :)
