For those of you with GPS the lat/long at the entrance from Westside Road is 50:07:56 N 119:30:27 W

The campground closes its gates in the evening (about 10pm I think). If you arrive later than this you will have to park at the gates and walk in about half a kilometer to the campsite, which is straight in from the gates on the left.

Remember to bring $50 cash per or cheque per adult, which includes the camping fee and all capoeira workshops.
