Believe the Promise
Camping
Your designated camping area will be calculated on the total number of tickets you purchased on the CYE website. We are allotting 125 sq feet per ticket sold. We try to proportion the lot as close to the shape of a square as possible, but many times it will be a rectangular shape. You may bring whatever you want to put on that site...You may not go outside of the lines drawn, including the air space above your line. This includes tent stakes.
