For those who may not wish cabin facilities, there are two motels in Travelers Rest nearby:
Passes - Persons staying over at the lodge for the
weekend will be given a pass for the whole time. Those coming only for the
days will need a new pass each day. The camp closes at 6:00, and we will
be given a code to use for people who may come in or have to leave after that
time.
There are accommodations for 42 persons and no more are allowed. This
consists of 10 cabins with 4 bunk beds each and a room for two in the
lodge. One cabin and the lodge are on a level with the parking area and
would be accessible for handicapped. Guests must bring their own linens,
towels, etc. There is one central unisex bath area and bath and
