This is a multi-day camping event on a primitive site. There are fields, hills, trees, scrub, etc…. We will provide Porta-Johns, hand washing stations, and dumpsters.

There are four showers provided on site across from Gate, bring biodegradable soaps with you. In addition, Camps/groups may have showers with biodegradable soaps ONLY.

The site has an altitude of 7900 feet. To help prevent altitude sickness, consider the following:

• Stay Hydrated – The most important advice from the medical community is to stay hydrated. Start drinking water well in advance of your arrival.
• Consume Caffeine and Alcohol in Moderation –  Caffeine and alcohol can both be dehydrating and the effects of dehydration are intensified by the altitude change.
• Take It Easy – Overexerting yourself may make you feel worse. Take it easy when you first arrive with shorter periods of activity and frequent breaks during the day.

Around Battlemoor, the weather in late June tends to be sunny with highs in the mid 80s and lows in the mid 40s with moderate humidity and gentle breezes.

Disabled, Royal, Landed Nobel, and Paid Parking will be located just inside the gate.  All other parking will be located off-site.  There will be shuttles to and from parking.

In addition to the free parking, we will have:

• Close-In parking for a $20 fee.
• Handicapped accessible parking for those with valid, state-issued handicapped placards/plates.
• Pull-through parking for RVs and vehicles with trailers.
• Large spaces for oversized vehicles.

Our privies are scheduled for cleaning Weds, Thur, Fri and Sat. The heroes cleaning them will replace the toilet paper but we’ll have some extra at the Hospitality tent, if needed. When you see the people there to clean, THANK THEM. These are our biggest expense but there’s not enough money in the world to make this a glamorous job.

It’s easier to gather in full skirts and such before you go in. It’s OK to lay a cloak, overdress, sword, landsknecht hat, big jewelry or other things on the ground away from the doors. If necessary, you can flip your skirt over the back of your head. Lock the door to prevent getting to know people better than you’d like.

They’re really not more unsanitary than a public restroom that’s cleaned once a day. If you’re squeamish, there’s a handle on the inside of the door you can use to help you hover. For the love of Murgatroid, make sure you’re hovering where you need to be! Each privy has a urinal, not a place to put purses. Loop the handles around your neck if necessary. The toilet paper is designed to be used in the privy. Don’t put *anything* else in there. It’ll clog up the cleaning hoses. Privies have vent stacks that are designed to work best when the toilet lid is down. Use the hand sanitizer. If you drop your phone in, accept God’s suggestion that it’s time for a new phone.

We’ll have hand washing stations. These have non-potable water, soap and a foot pump. Make sure the paper towels go into the trash.

If there’s a problem, let the staff know.
