Accommodations
If you are looking to stay over at Cayuga Lake State Park, be sure to make reservations through the website.
The northwest section of the park - cabins 15-21 and campsites 810-830 - is our lodging recommendation. It offers a good mix of cabins and RV / tent camping, which should help foster a sense of community among participants. There are cabins near the main parking lot for those who prefer easier access.
Many other accommodations are available in the area. Book early as this is peak tourism season.
Final Thoughts
All other details are communicated in the registration process.
