The number of vehicles on the ranch is compacting the ground and damaging the place. Since our first priority has to be the land, we have created the following set up.  

FRONT PASTURE of the campground is for parking only. All campers choosing campsites on the East side and all campers choosing to camp without their vehicles will be parked in this section. Parking as always is first come, first served. Our neighbor, Twisted Bit, where we do staging about a half mile West of the ranch, also provides Darling-Only parking for a fee on her property.  

EAST IS LEAST. The East side of the campground (straight back & to the right from the barn) will be no vehicle campsites. Campers will park your vehicle in the front field, register, and then unload your gear. We will have tractors and hay wagons to haul your stuff back to your campsites on the East side only on Thursday, Friday, Sunday and Monday. There will be access to your vehicles at all times and note that you have to walk past the front pasture on your way to the fair, so if you need to pick something up or drop something off, it is on the way. There will be no vehicles allowed into the East side either to drop things off or load them up. No exceptions. Vehicles in this area will be towed at owner's expense.  

WEST, BRING YOUR NEST. The West side of the campground (straight back and to the left from the barn) will be campsites for campers who wish to have their vehicles with them at the campsite. Please note that there will be a charge per vehicle for campers wanting to camp with their vehicles at their campsite. A suggestion for people camping with a large group and worried about where to put everything is to look at paying to keep one vehicle at the campsite and park the rest in the front pasture. Parking is first come, first served. No in and out driving from the back campground. No exceptions. If you need to drive out for any reason, park in the front field. You may not drive into the back campground to unload or load unless you have purchased the vehicle pass. No vehicles on the East side. No exceptions. Note: If you do leave, chances are someone else will take your parking space and you will be out of luck.  

Any vehicle left on the ranch past noon on Monday will be towed at owner's expense.
