This page explains how to plan overnight accommodations solely for families & seniors participating only in the ‘modified events’ of pilgrimage who opt to bring an RV, camper, or full-size van to transport the family between camps, to provide sleeping quarters.
Day-0 Thursday – Only those pilgrims participating in the ‘modified events’ – families and seniors – may reserve a space to park an RV, camper, or family van at Wood Park overnight: for a fee of $35/vehicle.
Wood Park is the area reserved by organizers to check-in all pilgrims, for pilgrims opting to camp Thursday night, and the location of rendezvous and step-off Friday morning.
See “Option 1.” on this blog post to learn how to reserve a space at Wood Park.
