The state park does permit pets within the group camp facility. Pets must be on a leash, and may not be unattended in any building at any time. Please be sure your pet is well-behaved and orderly.
Please clean up after your animal!. The fursuiters have asked that this be added, after some... incidents. Some things are hard to get out of fur.
Alcohol will be allowed at the group camp. Please drink responsibly! Naturally, anyone impaired by alcohol may not drive.
The event will be held at Group Camp 2 of Robbers Cave State Park in Oklahoma. More information, including maps, can be found on the Location page under 'About the Campsite'.
In brief, though, the park provides beds for up to 160 people, arranged into cabins that hold from 12 to 18 people. The beds are about four feet wide, so they would be a tight fit if people want to share a bed. They are are nearly all bunk beds. The camp has a full-service kitchen which will be used by our Head Chef to prepare the meals for the event, as well as basketball and softball fields.
This is an outdoor event taking place in Oklahoma in mid-April. Statistically, the highs are in the mid-60's and the lows are around 45 degrees Fahrenheit. We would recommend bringing clothing that will ensure your comfort at both high and low temperature. April also sees a decent amount of rain, so we would recommend that you bring appropriate clothing such as a poncho in case this occurs. We would also recommend that you bring the following items:
You should leave these items at home:
Yes, you may. Locations will be designated for pitching of tents, and there will be no additional charge over and above registration for the event for pitching one.
Lodging in one of the standardcabins is included in your registration. However, there are other options.
Tent. You can bring your own tent and set it up at the campsite.
Private Cabins. The park also has private cabins that can be rented. These each sleep four to six people and are available for small groups. Rental of these units should be arranged directly with the park. For more information, contact the park at (918) 465-2565.
Resort Lodge. The resort lodge is located at the park, but is not within walking distance. Please make reservations directly with the park.
Very poor. We have yet to find any cellphone provider that has service. Plan on being out of touch.
There are six cabins, each able to sleep anywhere from 12 to 32 people. Some of them have two 'sides' separated by a breezeway, while others are one large room. The cabins themselves are relatively open, with a single room with two bunks per cabin. Right now, there is no assignment of people to cabins; people should be able to settle whereever they wish on a first-come first-served basis.
The restrooms are modern, with running water and full sewer service. There are two restrooms, located at each end of the campsite. Only one of them has shower facilities, however. Each of the two restroom buildings has both male and female restrooms.
There is electrical service to the group camp, and most if not all of the buildings should have plenty of service. However, there are a relatively small number of outlets, especially in some of the cabins. Priority for this will be given to any equipment needed for medical reasons (e.g. CPAP machines) by those occupying the place. Whenever possible, please leave electronic devices at home or charge them ahead of time.
Because the organization running the event is a 501(c)7, your registration and anything you pay directly to the organization is not tax-deductible as a charitable donation. Anything you pay directly to our charity should be.
Glad you asked! Right now, we have staff positions that are not yet filled. Check the MESA Forum for the latest on staff positions. If a staff position has been filled, though, the staff member may be looking for volunteers, or you can always E-mail the event director.
