Overnight Stays at this Event
Camping on the land is included with this event. Please be prepared for any kind of weather event.
If you wish to reserve space inside the retreat center for sleeping, this is an additional fee of $10. per person. This is on a first come/ first served basis. There will be an “add-on” option when you register. Only choose this if your request for retreat space has been approved.
You will need to email info@oakspiritsanctuary.org to request sleeping space and check on availability.
You will need to bring your own sleeping set-up: cot, inflatable air mattress, and all bed linens/ pillows. You may use the kitchen for the preparation of your food.
The Basics of Camping at OSS
The grounds of OSS are open and do not have designated camping sites as one might expect at a state park campground. You may camp anywhere that is not a ritual or community space. Tent, pull-behind campers, and drivable camping vehicles are all allowed.
Camping is rustic: there are no electric or water hook-ups, no flush toilets. Porta-potties are available on site. Frog Bog (shower house) will be in operation for this event.
OSS does not offer trash disposal services. Please plan to remove your own trash and recycling.
Pets may attend but must be leashed and under control at all times.
Natural Laws of Oak Spirit Sanctuary
We strongly recommend reading through the “Natural Laws” document to become familiar with the basic policies regarding land use and personal conduct when visiting and camping at OSS.
