FAQ
Q: What about the cabins? What are they like?
As
you can see, the free cabins we offer with your registration are
primitive. They aren't heated, but they are very picturesque and can
hold as many as 6-8 visitors in the smaller ones, while the larger dorm
style cabins can hold around 50. They aren't fancy, but they are clean
and they are sheltered.
Q: What should I bring if I plan on staying inside a cabin?
All
bunks are provided with a clean mattress for you to sleep on, but we do
not provide bedding or towels. Because they are unheated, you may wish
to plan on bringing seasonal clothing and bedding. There is electric
light on the inside and some do have outlets.
Q: What are the bunkhouses?
Our
bunkhouses are just what the name implies - a large area filled with
clean beds with flushing restrooms and hot showers in the basement
area. For single guests, this is a preferred area since cabins suit
large groups or families. There are two bunkhouses, each capable of
holding 50 or more individuals. The bunkhouses to the west and nearest
the drive are traditionally male, while the bunkhouses to the east and
in the woods are reserved for females.
Q: What about camping?
As
you can see, there are plenty of areas to set up a camper or a tent.
You are also welcome to sleep in your van or car if you like. Please
keep in mind that Hidden Hollow is not a true campground and there are
no electric, water or sewer hook-ups. For heavier vehicles, there is
plenty of level solid ground and self contained units are always
welcome.
Q: What is Sky High Lodge?
Sky
High Lodge is a beautiful facility overlooking the mountain tops. It is
equipped with restrooms and heat. This is the area in which our vendors
set up, offering inside facilities for comfort and safety. Sky View
Lodge is also the scene of our Workshops, some of our Contests,
and where our Starlab Planetarium will be set up. The area is very
large and pleasant. If you take the stairway down you'll find where our
speakers will make their presentations and we show videos during the
evening should the weather not cooperate.
More details will be coming soon....
