General Information and Recommendations…

First Aid

Marmon Valley Farm and the American Camping Association strongly recommend user groups bring at least one adult with current CPR and First Aid certifications (from a nationally recognized certifying agency). Remember your group is fully responsible for its own first aid needs.

Parking

All vehicles should be parked in the parking lot. If there is a need to unload a large amount of cargo, you may drive your vehicle to your site to unload but it must be parked in the lot immediately upon unloading. Disabled and elderly guests may park at a more convenient location provided that traffic flow is not interrupted.

Fire Rings

Fire rings are provided throughout the grounds on a first come first served basis. A limited amount of wood is provided free of
charge. All fires must be in an established fire ring and Bon fires are not allowed.

The Picnic Shelter

The Picnic Shelter is provided for guest group usage. Please check to see if it has been reserved for another group before you
set up. If you wish to reserve the picnic shelter please contact the office. A usage fee applies.

The Challenge Course is only available to scheduled groups. Meet your facilitator at the Activity Barn and hike to the course as a group. Trails may be muddy.

Please check in at the stables 10 minutes before your scheduled riding time. Suggested attire for horseback riding is long pants and riding shoes or cowboy boots.

Please do not chase any of the animals, or use them to scare others.
