What to pack, bring, and transport to camp.

WHAT TO PACK

Bring whatever you need to make yourself comfortable and to have a good time! Some people like to go all out and bring all the bells and whistles! Or, maybe you prefer to keep it simple and go minimalist. It's up to you!

But, don't forget to bring food and beverages!

STAKE YOUR TENT!!!

The winds and haboobs can be brutal! The weight of your personal items and bedding inside your tent are not enough to keep your tent from blowing away! It is imperative that you stake your tent!
