Reservation requests for Returning Campers are open.

Returning campers wanting to bring friends in a separate vehicle who are new, please reach out to us.

Reservation requests for New Campers will open on April 21st

Some changes for 2025:  As your gnome team gets older we must make some adjustments to lessen the load of having you all here, while still being worth the months of preparation.  To that end, in 2025 we will be:

*Accepting fewer reservations

*Price per person for ages 13 and older is 160.00.  This includes one free shower.

*Kids age 4-12 are $80 each

Why Stay at GnomeWood?

At GnomeWood we offer a truly relaxing, family-friendly respite during your OCF adventure. GnomeWood is run by local neighbors who know what a need there is for a tranquil place to camp. Yes, we have a fantastic community campfire for songs, tall tales (and, of course, s’mores for kids of all ages), but our quiet time is real.

• We have a realistic quiet time starting at midnight (kids' quiet time is 10:30), which is actually enforced.

• Well, we know that you might need to use your car during the weekend, and so you may!

• We have toys, games and activities for kids (not to mention the bubble machine!).

• You have two camping options: Tent-Only or Camp with Vehicle.

• GnomeWood is located West of the Fair, while most camps are located East of the Fair or are adjacent to it. This is the uncrowded side of the neighborhood, in terms of both people and traffic.

• Your total walk to the Fair admissions booth is 8/10th of a mile.  At an average pace it takes 15 minutes to walk to the Fair admissions booth.  Click here for a map of local campground locations and the location of the actual admissions booth of the Fair.
