IMPORTANT!

STAKE YOUR TENT!!!

The winds and haboobs can be brutal! The weight of your personal items and bedding inside your tent are not enough to keep your tent from blowing away! It is imperative that you stake your tent! Trust us on this one! If you need advice, please inquire within our Facebook group with our meadow camper retreat veterans! STAKE YOUR TENT!!!
