Camp Set Up

Please arrive any time that works for you. We encourage those of you camping to set up a fun campsite decorated in whatever love-themed stuff you want! You can camp out in a tent, a car, or a van! The campground is limited to 75 vehicles, so be open to the fact that we will be letting car campers park first, then tent campers, Trailer, Van, and RV Parking will be at Bonito Campground, and those of you driving in from Airbnb might have to park and walk from Bonito or from parking along the road, depending on how well people carpool.
