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.
