The last five miles to camp follow a dirt road whose condition varies with the seasons,
maintenance, and recent weather. Please drive slowly if the road is wet—it may be slippery.
We update the current road condition whenever we have a chance; if you have been to camp more recently
than the date in the box below, please email Camp President Tom Jones with an update.
These guidelines are not a substitute for good judgment! Your own skill and experience driving on difficult roads also makes a major difference. Please drive
carefully and do not go up to camp if the weather forecast includes a storm that may prevent you from driving back down.
