If you’re having trouble finding a good place to camp due to Covid-19, you’re welcome to come join us at Kamp Kapow! We’re there every weekend from Friday evening to Sunday evening. Here’s the deal:
The Good News
There’s a great camping area near the creek, with a fire pit and lots of soft ground for pitching tents
No shared facilities like a regular campground
Lots of interesting flora and fauna!
The Awkward News
Anybody camping would still need to practice strict social distancing with us, which unfortunately means:
Always keeping over 6ft apart from us
Not petting the dogs :(
Not being able to share any of our creature comforts, like the cabin / cooler / stove / composting toilet / water jug / cooking tools / etc., or touch any common surfaces or objects
Staying home if you don’t feel 100%
Are you ok with…
Packing in and out all gear, food, water, trash, etc.
Bringing everything up the trail from your parking spot at the road to your camping spot at the creek (0.25mi)
Hearing barking dogs and random gunshots (it’s the country)
Possible underwear-level nudity from us (we’re forest creatures, too, after all!)
Peeing wherever, and digging a hole at least 200ft away from the creek to poop
No electricity or running water
Ticks (March - September mostly) and mosquitos (March - October)
Figuring out your off-grid camping logistics (heat/cooking source, light source, battery source, etc.)
Canceling if there’s a significant chance of severe weather (big trees + big wind = bad)
Being super vigilant about social distancing with us
Restricting your group to only your household members / partner / etc.
Touching base with us in advance if you have a particular weekend in mind, so we can avoid ‘double-booking’
Things we can offer
Spot to camp, obvi!
Chatting/hanging out at a distance
Wood, kindling, and starter materials for a fire
A plastic table (good for chopping, prep, etc.) and a water jug with four gallons of water at the camping spot
A shovel and TP for using the ‘bathroom’
An outdoor movie while we sit far away from you :)
