Attendees must be 18 years of age or older
You must be 18 by the start of the camp and have a valid state ID or driver's license. While we would love to allow minors to attend, as we have in the past, we can no longer allow it. Now that we are a larger event, allowing minors to attend is a huge liability. We hope you can understand.
Firewood from outside the area is not allowed
To limit the spread of invasive tree-killing pests, firewood from outside the area is not permitted. Please help protect our forests from invasive species by obtaining your firewood at or near the camping destination (ideally within 10 miles) and burning it on-site. It is illegal to bring firewood into Michigan from areas quarantined for Asian longhorned beetle, thousand cankers disease, basalm woolly adelgid, hemlock woolly adelgid, and/or mountain pine beetle – unless it is certified, heat-treated firewood.

​No weapons allowed
For the safety of our guests, weapons are not allowed on the grounds of the furcamp, including within cars. This includes axes, guns, swords, knives over three inches, stun guns or tasers, and any other item that may be considered a dangerous weapon. Weapon props are permitted as long as they do not have a sharp blade or any other feature that could harm a person. A prop gun must have an orange tip. Items used as tools, such as knives under 3 inches that follow Michigan's knife laws, hammers, lighters, and multitools are permitted. Mace and bear spray with a locking or safety mechanism are permitted. Please email us if you have any questions.
You must be registered to attend
All attendees must be registered through our registration portal. Anyone who is not registered will be turned away. This includes day visitors. Anyone who is planning to visit is free to pay the cost for one night.
