Bathrooms & water
Our Group Tenting Area is located close to a modern bathroom. The bathrooms include amenities like a flush toilet and sink. Anyone staying at the Group Tent Site can access showers at the campground a short drive away. We have access to drinking water very close to the site. There is also a bathroom with showers via a short walk from the cottages and cabins.
Electric
The Group Tenting Site does not have electric access. Please bring a portable charger if you plan to be using your phone. You can charge your phones at the Pavillion with your charging cables.
Wi-Fi & cell service
Wi-Fi and cell service is very limited in the area. If you need to use your phone, you can take a short drive around the park and you will be able to receive calls and find Wi-Fi.
The two places I would suggest you go to get a cell phone signal and Wi-Fi is Phillipsburg or Bald Eagle Baptist Church (6644 S Eagle Valley Rd, Port Matilda, PA 16870). They're both a 15-minute drive from the park.
Parking
There is plenty of parking available at the Group Tenting Site as well as the individual cabins and cottages.
Tags and hashtags
The event is only made possible thanks to our incredible sponsor Happy Valley. Please tag them at @HappyValleyPA on Instagram and Meta and use the hashtags #HappyValleyPA and #PAOCC26.
They'll be tracking the hashtags so please use it when you post before, during and after the weekend.
