Other areas of the land are off-limits because they are either private sites, unsafe for people to use or are wildlife habitat.    Camping.  Camper vans and recreational vehicles are permitted, but there are no septic, water or electrical hookups. You may be directed to a pre-designated location for RVs. Please use light-colored marking material to flag your ropes and tentstakes.  Camp in the Pines (remote woods camping) for a quieter camping experience.    Cell Phones & WiFi.  Please be considerate when using phones and radios - don't talk intrusively and bother people. Take the opportunity to unplug. Cell phone signals are spotty. WiFi may be available near Caffeina's Café; check back for updates on this service.    Clothing.  There is no standard of dress for the events but participants are encouraged to express themselves through costume and dress. Wisteria Cornstalk Festival is clothing-optional. There will probably be few people who will exercise this option but it is allowed at this event as a freedom of expression on private land.      Creatures.  Insect repellent may be needed to repel mosquitoes though we are not known for them.  Check your body daily for ticks.  Keep food stored securely with lids to discourage raccoons, ants and other creatures from visiting camp.  Please treat local wildlife and insects with respect and remain calm if you have encounters.     Disability and Physical Needs.  Wisteria is a rustic licensed campground and may not be suitable depending on your condition and level of mobility.  If you have special needs, please call us prior to registering to see if we can accommodate your needs.  Those with highly specialized diets need to provide for themselves rather than depend on the food vendors.  Bring your medications and take them as directed.    Firearms and Fireworks.   Firearms and fireworks are not permitted.    Fires and Firewood.   Firewood is sold near Caffeina's Café by the level cartful.  Do not bring in firewood from other forests to avoid infestion from invasive insects.   Attendees are permitted to gather small downed wood from the forest.  Do NOT dig fire pits.  A limited number of community fire rings are available for sharing.  Please do not leave unattended fires burning (including votives).  Should a fire get out of hand, immediately shout for help. Fire extinguishers are available at Caffeina's Café  and throughout the campground on poles underneath RED fire buckets. Keep water handy near fires. Please use caution when kindling fires of any size including candles, torches and cigarettes. Fire-play activities (including spinning lit fire poi, fire fans, fire staffs and fire-breathing) at Wisteria Cornstalk are limited to approved performers rather than the general public. Spinning unlit poi, staffs and fans is allowed.  Please be cautious to avoid injury to others.    First Aid.  A First Aid Station is located at the Wisteria Office located next to Caffeina's Café. If case of injury, report to First Aid where you can be routed to a local hospital or receive basic treatment.  In the event of a medical emergency, summon help immediately from Wisteria Cornstalk staff.  Do not attempt to move an incapacitated victim unless s/he is in physical danger.  Three critical items of importance that will improve your chances of a safe and enjoyable gathering experience: water, sunscreen, and comfortable, hard-soled shoes. Drink plenty of water to keep hydrated, as you may be out in the elements and doing a lot more walking than you may be used to. Wear sunscreen and/or headgear to prevent sunburn. Wear appropriate footwear to lessen the chances of foot and ankle injuries. Be extra careful when navigating around tents to avoid tripping on stakes and ropes.    FRS Radios.   The Wisteria Cornstalk staff uses FRS radios for communication to keep the gathering running smoothly.  If your party uses these radios,  please use only even-numbered channels and reserve the odd-numbered channels for staff use.    Pets.  Pets are not permitted at Wisteria Cornstalk with the exception of service animals.  Really,  NO DOGS!   Photography and Electronic Recording.  Please be respectful of the privacy of others while photographing and recording.    Vehicles.  Please do not bring motorized vehicles for driving on-site.  Bicycles are encouraged. Bicycle travel may be temporarily restricted when campground roads are wet.  Staff vehicles (such as utility vehicles and golf carts) will be operating for the benefit of the event.
