What is camping like at Pocologan?
The basic camping option included in your ticket purchase gives you the option to camp wherever you like in the designated camping areas. There are no camp "sites" like a traditional camp ground. There's a field, forest, and lakeside for you to scope out your very own cozy spot. You will likely have neighbours close by. What a great chance to make new friends! Do you want more privacy? RV camping and other upgraded camping options will be for sale closer to the event.
What's the bathroom situation at Pocologan?
We love porta potties! Seriously, they're way more sanitary than your run-of-the-mill campground bathroom facility. They get cleaned more often and they're better ventilated. Fun fact: porta potties are designed not to stink. This system fails when dummies don't put the seat down. PUT THE SEAT DOWN and those bad boys will smell just like the great outdoors!
