Please note that cell phone service is sporadic to non-existent within Camp Zoe. Please plan your trip with accurate directions before leaving! We will have a sign off of Highway 19 directing you to the correct entrance into our camp area. Our camp area is called "Shady Grove" within the realms of Camp Zoe and is the camp ground on the other side of the footbridge from where the music festivals are generally held.
This is a primitive camping area! We will have porta-johns available and daily ice runs. There is a shower house on the grounds of camp zoe (10 minute walk) and of course, the ice cold spring fed waters of sinking creek! Plan your camp items accordingly =)
