OTR Campground Facilities
| Food
Concession |
The
food concession stand is located on vendor row to provide limited food
service. Their menu and hours vary, but the menu normally includes hot
dogs, donuts, soft drinks, and other gourmet delights. |
| Vendors |
Cavers
who sell, buy, and trade caving related merchandise are invited to setup
at OTR. However, there are some rules. First, you must be a caver. Second,
you must get permission from the vendor coordinator. Third, you must pay a
fee. Fourth, the vendor coordinator will designate you an area. Please do
not set up outside that area. Fifth, the fee that you pay is based on the
size of the selling area you use not the volume of business you do. All
disputes are settled at the discretion of the vendor coordinator. As OTR
gets larger, we receive more requests from new vendors for space. So
contact the vendor coordinator early to make sure you can get a space. |
| Garbage |
Garbage
bags will be provided to everyone at the Gate. Please use them. Please
dump your trash only in the designated collection area, in the large
garbage containers at the top of the entrance road, close to the Gate.
The garbage containers closer to the paviilion tends to fill during
the event, so when you leave on Monday, please take your garbage to the
containers closer to the gate. We appreciate your cooperation in
not leaving trash at your campsite or by the porta-pots.
A word of note: In
the past some people have brought furniture (sofa's, easy chairs, etc.)
to OTR and left it at their camp site when they left. Not only
does this leave disposing of this to the few remaining volunteers,
it also increases the cost for garbage pick up. Additional cost
of garbage will result in cut backs in some other area at OTR the next.
If you do decide to bring furniture , please be sure to take
it with you when you leave.

| Electricity |
We
will have electricity at the main pavilion, first aid station,
registration, and vendor areas, but none at individual campsites. All
electricity will be for staff use only; and the OTR Chair will disconnect
anyone trying to tap these sources. |
| Roads |
Please
follow all posted road signs. Only staff vendor vehicles, being used for
official purposes, are allowed on vendor row during OTR. |
| Kiddie’s
Corral |
The
fenced playground is available for all registered children. The
Kiddie Corral is open from 8 AM until dusk. Children of all ages must be
accompanied by a parent. Children
are the responsibility of their parents at all times. OTR will not provide
playground supervisors. Excessive roughness and dangerous toys are
discouraged. Any parent may send any child back to their camp and notify
security if the situation warrants. |
| Recycling |
Please
recycle aluminum cans in the recycling center, located on the main road
next to the garbage collection center. |
| Showers
and Toilets |
Showers
are available at the campground with an ample supply of both cold and hot
water. Portable toilets are located throughout the campground. |
| Parking |
Please
do not block the roads when you park. Do not park along the main entrance
road (between registration and the main pavilion). You may be towed at
your expense. |
| Ice |
Bags
of ice can be purchased at the Gate and at Med Tent, at the end of Vendor
Row. To purchase ice at the Gate, please pay for an ice ticket at Registration.
Gate staff do not handle cash transactions. You may use ice tickets and/or
cash at Med Tent for ice. |
