HoliGAY Slumber Party will take place at the Foothills Ranch. The ranch is tucked away a couple of miles from the South Falls parking lot and other park attractions. It is an open floor plan lodge with kitchen, picnic tables, sitting area, and firepit on the first floor and bunkbeds on the second floor balcony which is open to the first floor.
Meals, activities, and sleeping will happen in this open floorplan lodge- hence Slumber Party!! Please be aware that there is no real privacy nor space to practically 'get away' inside. Of course there are thousands of acres of beautiful forest and miles and miles of trails outside the lodge. And, it will be the middle of winter. If you have sensory sensitivities or need to be alone for private time please consider carefully whether this is the right event for you.
The following sleeping options are available which you'll select during registration:
Bunkbeds in the lodge:
Bottom bunks are doubles and can be registered as single or double.
Tops bunks are single.
There will also be a space on the first floor where folks are invited to put their mattresses on the floor in a group- for the authentic slumber party experience!
There are a very limited number of bunk beds on the first floor. Please email us at registration@glimmercamp.com to request one of these spots as an accomodation if you cannot travel up and down the stairs.
Limited spots for RV parking:
Small RVs up to 24ft.
No hook-ups; 'dry' camping.
Limited tent camping spots:
If you're prepared for winter camping.
Alternative sleeping accomidations:
Rent a private cabin at Smith Creek Villiage.
Reserve a full hook-up RV site in the campground.
The registration fee is the same regardless of sleeping accomodation. There is no discount if you choose alternative sleeping accomodations.
Unless the weather cooperates in an unseasonable fashion, activites will happen in the Foothill Lodge.
The Foothills Ranch has picnic tables which we will utilize for both meals and activites. There is a large firepit in the middle of the room. There is a loveseat and a couple of chairs around the campfire. Folks are encourages to bring a camping chair for additional seating around the campfire.
The primary heat source for the lodge is the firepit so there will be a fire going throughought the event. Bring a cool weather sleeping bag or other warm bedding and clothing layers as it may be chilly in the lodge at times.
There are two restrooms in the lodge which will be non-gendered; they both have toilets in single stalls and one has urinals. There are no showers at the ranch, but showers are available at B loop campground- with limited parking.
Outside the lodge is a firepit which can be utilized for campfires if desired and will be the designated smoking area.
There are trails leading into the park directly from the lodge. The Foothills Ranch is a couple of miles from the S. falls parking area and other park attractions.
There is no wifi in the Foothills Lodge and Silver Falls has spotty cell serivce.
Silver Falls is an incredible state park with miles and miles of trails where you can explore the beautiful forest and see many waterfalls.
Big Leaf Market and South Falls Cafe have food and beverage options. There is also electric car charging stations and the Ten Falls Supply Co. which has super cute Silver Falls merch as well as some essentials (at a premium) in case you forget something at home.
There will be an invitation for a group hike on Sunday morning before departing the park.
You can make it a whole weekend by renting a cabin at Smith Creek Village on Friday night.
