For the safety of others, and for the full enjoyment of events at this site in the future, the following rules and regulations will be strictly enforced.  This is a National Park, with historically preserved structures, owned and operated by the Feds.  Failure to abide by their rules and comply with the Storytellers/ Narrators of "Night...Falls" will result in expulsion from game, fines, penalties, and a moment alone in the woods with irate Park Rangers.

CLEAN UP:
Unless you bring a maid with you, everyone is expected to clean up after themselves.  This includes the cabins, the kitchen, and any other area that you use.  The campsite and cabins are subject to inspection ANYTIME by park officials and NVA staff.  Smokers will be provided with containers for their cigarette butts and matches, USE THEM.  The National Park Services will not hesitate to fine people for misuse of the site.  If you see anybody breaching these rules, report to a Storyteller immediately!

Parking is allowed only in the designated parking areas.  No vehicles may be parked past the check-in booth.  Vehicles that are loading/unloading food and supplies for the dining hall are permitted to enter the camp one at a time.  Once loading/unloading is completed, all vehicles must be parked in the designated parking areas.

Remember, parking spaces are very limited, be sure to carpool!  All roadways/trails must be kept clear at all times for access by emergency and service vehicles.
