CORNET BAY SITE PHOTOS & ACCOMODATIONS
Some cabins are reserved and/or have the following exceptions:
Tent camping available. Tents must be a Star Wars style tent, a yurt, or use a regular tent hidden under a 4-walled canopy, or canvas / tarps (no blue tarps please).
Preferred solid (no patterns) colors are black, gray, white, earthy tones, or as seen in Star Wars.
Galactic Style Guide for Tents and Shelters
Our goal is for tents to add to the game atmosphere (think themed camps at Wasteland Weekend), and not be a real-world eyesore. Please use what's in your means to make your camp as Star Wars as possible.
Parlor Combat ONLY around tents. Be aware of lines and stakes.
To keep it fair, tents are also In-Game. Parlor Combat only. You can put an IG lock on the zipper pull, and you can put a Ray Shield around the door.
For your OOG stuff, assuming you will have a tote, put an OOG label on it... that same under-bunk rule applies.
RV and car camping is NOT allowed at our events.
