About our campsite:
The PC cabins have a layout similar to an area of AH Stephens in
Georgia. They are generally a minimum of 30-50 feet apart, with 8
cabins and a lodge. Each is a rustic cabin, built from boards, with
screen doors and wooden slat doors and wooden slat retractable
windows. Each cabin can sleep between 8 and 10 players in provided
bunk style beds. There is not generally any closet or storage space.
Each has interior lighting and power, but of course no heat or air
conditioning. There is a lodge built in similar style to the cabins.
The lodge has a fireplace with a small shelf. The doors, windows,
and lighting are the same as the cabins. The lodge will sleep
between 16 and 18 people. Currently, we plan to use the lodge for in
play areas that are not for lodging. Without the lodge, the capacity
of the site for PCs is between 68 and 80 players, so there should be
lots of room without crowding.
There is a bathhouse in this area, split by gender but in the
same building. Each side has three shower stalls and three toiletry
stalls. There is a common outdoor sink with water but no mirror.
The overall layout contains lots of flat ground in the PC town,
and plenty of trails and woods in the surrounding areas. There are
several fields nearby that can be used in play, including one that
has a large pavilion in it.
Parking for the campsite is nearby but not in the camp. It is
most likely that after unpacking we will run some shuttles out to
let people drop off their cars at the parking lots.
The trickiest part of the camp is the tavern/kitchen. This is
because Camp Piomingo encompasses 5 different campsites with some
buildings in common. One of these common buildings is the tavern. In
the event that other groups are inhabiting other campsites during
our event (which is possible) then we will not have exclusive access
to the tavern building. We have several alternate plans if that is
the case. Either way, there will be food service available.
