GnomeWood REALLY is a Mellow Camp!

 
 
 
 
There really are trees here!

In order to ensure the peaceful nature of your camping experience, GnomeWood will not be appropriate for people who want to be loud late into the night. We won't be having amplified music at all, and no drumming after 10 p.m. We love acoustic music and encourage everyone to bring instruments to play around the campfire. Out of consideration for everyone, we will ask that people respect a quiet time starting at midnight (10:30 for kids), so that those who want to sleep may do so.

The 8/10th of a mile walk from GnomeWood to the Fair admissions gate takes 15 minutes at an average pace. GnomeWood is located 1/3 mile from Aero Road. From there a half mile path through forest and fields takes you to the gates.

We look forward to having YOUR family at GnomeWood.

 
 
 
 

Camp Rules
for Safety & Comfort:

  • No Amplified Music or Sound of any kind
  • No smoking in campsites - there is one designated smoking area at the front of the property
  • No Pets of Any Kind
  • No Visitors; everyone must have a GnomeWood wristband to be on site
  • No Weapons - this includes toy weapons of any kind
  • No Fires, No charcoal grills.  Camp stoves that turn off ARE allowed
  • No Fireworks
  • Gates are closed to vehicle traffic between dusk and dawn
 
 

Generator Use & Power Stations:

During the event, the gnomes are all in pretty close proximity to each other. Use of noisy things like generators should be kept to a minimum, and everyone is encouraged to consider your surroundings and be considerate of neighbors. To that end, the Gnome Council has set out the following proclamations:

  • No Generators are allowed in the tent-only camping area. If you have battery power stations, they can be charged in the GnomeWood Town Hall, also known as The Barn.

  • Generators in RV and Camp-with-Car spots may only be operated from 8:30am to 10:30am and from 1:00pm until 8:00pm. In all cases, please keep generator use to a minimum.

  • Try to ensure your generator is positioned in the best possible way to cause the least disturbance to others, both in terms of noise and exhaust. If there is a choice, propane is preferred to gasoline for both noise and exhaust issues.

  • Even during permitted hours, if one’s generator is obviously disruptive to neighbors, such as exhaust blowing right into your neighbor’s camp, you may be asked to stop using it. Try to work out details with your neighbors in advance whenever possible.

Our goal is for everyone to have a peaceful, healthy, happy, family-friendly time. We hope that these guidelines will help everyone have that kind of experience.
