Tent camping may be just what you're looking for.

  • Up to 8 people are allowed per campsite.
  • Up to 4 tents (including sleeping and dining tents) are allowed per tent campsite.
  • Shuttles will be provided to carry your equipment between the parking lot and the tent camping area.

If your group is camping in more than one campsite and you want your campsites to be together, you should arrive at the tent camping area together. We are unable to assign sites prior to your arrival. Sites are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Guidelines:

  • We do not recommend tent camping with children 12 months old or younger.
  • It is not available to camp in makeshift tents or lean-tos. Only genuine tents will be allowed.
  • Open campfires are not permitted.
  • Camp stoves or propane grills are allowed for cooking food in designated cooking areas only. Please be sure to supply your own can openers, refrigeration, fuel for your stove, etc.

  • Hammocks are allowed in the campsites if hung on a hammock stand. It is not available to hang a hammock on the trees or other structures.

What to Bring:

Please bring all of the supplies needed for you to comfortably tent camp at the Rock. Here are some suggestions to help you plan:

  • an all-weather tent with rain fly or other rain protection along with any tools needed for tent setup (i.e., a hammer or mallet, as tents should be staked firmly in the ground)
  • sleeping bags that will keep people warm in 40-degree weather, blankets, and pillows, as nights at the Rock can be cool and damp
  • plastic to put under the tent to help prevent the tent from absorbing moisture from the ground and becoming damp and cold
  • an air mattress or a cot for added comfort and protection
  • water containers to transport water if needed
  • cooking equipment and supplies for use in designated cooking areas
  • a broom to sweep out the tent
  • extra plastic to use in the event of inclement weather
  • lawn chairs and a small table
  • a drying rack for towels
  • a flashlight (with extra batteries)
  • other items for your comfort and blessing

Before the Rock of Ages, we recommend you become familiar with every piece of your camping equipment.
