Each individual’s / family’s gear should fit inside one large waterproof bag (such as a trash bag or duffel bag).
Remember that you are only packing for one night, and you will be carrying your own gear from the entrance to the storage area, from the storage area to your sleeping area and to your cars in the morning.
Storage space for gear is limited…please be respectful of other guests attending the event and pack light.
