Land Allocation is Assigned based on PAID Pre-Registration

Land Allocation will be accepted through Pre-Registration
only from March 1 through July 31

Pre-Registration

Reserved Land Allocation is only given to paid Pre-Registration.
Open Camping areas will be available throughout the site for First-Come, First-Served arrivals at Gate. Open Camping is also used for Pre-Registered Campers numbering fewer than 7 adults.
Pre-Registration sent in between March 1 and April 30 will qualify for 350-sq.ft. per adult, 125-sq.ft. per Youth (ages 6-17) [Money must be post-marked no later than April 30]
Pre-Registration sent in between May 1 and July 31 will qualify for 250-sq.ft. per adult, 125-sq.ft. per Youth (ages 6-17) [Money must be post-marked no later than July 31]
Pre-Registration postmarked after July 31 will not be accepted.
Land for campers who pay at the Gate will be an Open Land Grab in the Open Camp Areas. Campers who pay at the Gate will work with the Land Volunteers on site, to get their best land. Allocation will still be limited to 250-sq.ft. per adult, 125-sq.ft. per Youth (ages 6-17).

For Camp Masters Only

Every Camp must have a paid, pre-registered Camp Master.
If you would like to add a new Camp to the list, and you would like to be the Camp Master, please send in this request: Camp Master Application
Each camp only needs ONE camp master. If you have questions, please email land@caid-gww.org
Please DO NOT sign-up as Camp Master for your local geopolitical group (Kingdom, Barony, Shire, College) unless you have been specifically designated by that group to do so.
NEW CAMP REQUESTS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AFTER July 20. Camps forming after July 20 will need to just Pre-Register their campers before July 31 (to take advantage of the Pre-Reg costs) and plan to use the Open Camping areas.

General Information

If fewer than SEVEN (7) paid, pre-registered adults sign up for a Camp, they will be assigned to the Open Camping areas.

Land Allocation Detailed Rules

The rules are as follows:

Land allocation is for groups of SEVEN (7) or more and is ONLY tied to Pre-Registration.
To make the land allocation process work more smoothly, each group must designate one person to be the contact person for their group. That person must be pre-registered and be able to speak for the group. We will need their modern and SCA names, phone number, and e-mail address. The contact person for your group must enroll the group for the land allocation process, but individuals are responsible for registering themselves.
When you pre-register for the war and you indicate that you will be with a Camp, the Camp Master will be notified that you plan to be in the Camp.
Land will only be allocated to paid, pre-registered campers, for camps with a Camp Master and a minimum of SEVEN (7) paid, pre-registered adults.
There will be areas set aside for Land-Grab, Open Camping. Campers will be allowed up to 250 sq.ft. per adult, 125 sq.ft. per youth (ages 6-17). Any pre-registered groups with fewer than SEVEN (7) paid, pre-registered adults will be assigned to the Land-Grab, Open Camping area. Campers with pre-registration post-marked after July 31 or who pay at the Gate will be assigned to the Land-Grab, Open Camping area. Please check with your local Geopolitical group (Barony, Shire, Canton, College, etc.) if you want to camp in Group Allocated lands.
A map with Allocations will be available on site at Headquarters and at the front gate.
RV spaces: Our use area of the park will NOT include any full hook up sites for RV campers. We can only provide dry camping spaces (no water, electricity, or sewer) in a paved or dirt lot. Dry RV sites can be reserved through the normal Pre-Registration process. Dry RV campers will be allowed to use the dump station at the full hook up site (approximately 1 mile from the Dry lot). If you require full RV hook ups you must contact Buena Vista Reservations directly at (661) 868-7050 or visit their web site at http://www.co.kern.ca.us/parks/ to make a private reservation. This reservation WILL NOT include Great Western War site fees. Spaces are limited. The full hook up area at Buena Vista is approximately one and a half miles away from the war site via a park road. No transportation will be provided between the full hook up area and the war site.
Pre-Registration (Land Allocation) will close on July 31.
Reservations for land allocation will remain in effect until 6 PM Friday Friday, Oct 11, 2013. If no one from your group has arrived by then, your group loses its allocation.
Negotiation with your neighbors is encouraged and any unallocated land (NOT including Overflow) is considered shared by whoever borders it. Please, only take what you need. Knowing the gentility of the members of the Society, it is expected that all groups are willing to work with their neighbors to come to reasonable, agreeable conclusions when land disputes arise.
Any groups found to be moving boundary markers or signs, or attempting to set up camp in a site allocated to a different group will lose their allocation and be subject to removal from site with no refund.
