FAQs
Question
Do we have to register our cars with East Park Reservoir?
Answer
YES!!! *** IMPORTANT INFO*** Each car needs to be registered before hand through https://www.roverpass.com/c/east-park-reservoir-stonyford-ca/booking/ it is 8$ per vehicle for the day use pass (If your just coming for the ceremony) If you are coming for the whole weekend each vehicle needs to be registered through https://www.roverpass.com/c/east-park-reservoir-stonyford-ca/booking/ (overnight extra vehicle passes are 15$ per night). Also important : this is a bring your own chair event. For each person that comes they need to bring a camping chair to have somewhere to sit for the ceremony and beyond. I know that's weird lol Sorry.
Question
Do I really need to bring my own chair?
Answer
Yes (Whomp Whomp)!!! There are only maybe 4 picnic tables. I will ask that everyone brings a camping chair (any type of chair will do) to have a place to sit during the ceremony.
Question
Is there electricity?
Answer
No
Question
Is there cell service?
Answer
I would say no. Maybe for some providers there could be very small pockets of coverage but plan to be unreachable before you come.
Question
Are there amenities near by ?
Answer
Not really, Hotels are probably 50 minutes to a hour away. There are not really any restaurants, gas stations, or stores near by. However, there is small bar called Squaw Creek inn that is right outside of the reservoir that sells food and drinks.

Can we bring a RV, camper, or converted sprinter?
Answer
Yes, if you are worried about the comforts of tent camping you can bring your own recreational vehicle or rent one from sites such as https://www.outdoorsy.com/. However, there are no RV hookups at the site so you will have to be self sufficient and off grid.

Question
Dogs
Answer
I would like everybody to try and find somebody to watch their dog. I would definitely prefer no dogs other than our three that are coming shit I don’t even want my three there but I cannot afford to board them with the winter we had. If you guys absolutely can’t find anybody to watch them then I suppose that it’s okay to bring them, but just know I’ll be pissed as fuck if someone’s dog is counters surfing the food tables, they bark constantly, if they try and fight one of my dogs, if they jump up on me and Patrick when we’re in our nice clothes, or if they scare one of the guests that aren’t that into dogs. They would need to be on leash 24/7 per park rules and i’d much rather just not have hella dogs there.
