Driving within the camp area is allowed only from 7:00 am-12:00pm and 5:00pm-7:00pm unless accompanied by a troll for camp set up or emergency. There is absolutely NO driving through the camping area after dark without permission from troll. If you need to go into town plan ahead and/or park in the main parking area. The camp area is directly across the road from the fighting area and we do not want to dodge vehicles going to and from battles.

Keeping the site clean: All persons must tell troll where they are camping so that the area can be inspected for trash prior to leaving.
