Hello everyone!
With the holidays behind and winter settling in, we here at Wisteria are starting to prepare for the upcoming season! We know you’re all just as excited as we are for spring and summer to return and festivals to begin again and we are so very excited to welcome you home again. However, we are undergoing a few administrative adjustments for the Wisteria run events such as Solstice and Autumn Fires and we may be using a different booking method. With that said, we are going to block out those dates on Campspot to avoid any confusion as we sort out some of the logistics. We are also not taking registration for events but will be very soon. We’ll let you know as soon as everything is ready.
Thank you so much for your patience and we hope you’re having a wonderful year so far!
Come experience nature anytime you’d like! Open camping resumes on April 1st, 2022. We are open for camping through October 31st.
Wisteria is home to many unique festivals and events. Come experience festivities that are unlike any other. No year is the same as we offer different events for the season. Look into what things are happening and see if you would like to be a part of the magic happening this year. You can also reach out to us to book your own event. Let us grow and learn together. No event is the same, take a look at what’s happening now.
Wisteria is a safe and loving place with a generous and kind community. It offers a land where people can be free and accepted for who they are. Find like-minded people and explore what Wisteria is and what it can be to you.
People escape to the beautiful rolling hills and open air of Wisteria to get away and get in touch with nature and self. Come experience an event or just come to get away and camp for a little. The more you come the more you feel like you are finally coming home.
