Be considerate of your neighbors

Leave your campsite looking at least as good as it did when you arrived

Leave no trace is the motto of our Old Settler’s camping family. Our volunteers work hard to prepare the Old Settler’s Homestead for the festival. Please help us keep the site in good condition, and please carry out your gear or use the trash and recycling bins available throughout the campgrounds. Leave your campsite in its original condition – or even cleaner than you found it.

Help us reduce our carbon footprint

To reduce our carbon footprint and to ensure the safety of our Old Settler’s family, please don’t drive around in the campgrounds or leave your car idling. Once your vehicle is parked, it is best that it stays parked until your departure.
