We offer free camping anywhere at the top of the hill by the main club house.  Sorry, we don't have electric or water hook-ups for campers.  Please do not camp in the parking lots.  We need the room for general parking.

If you're not into camping here are a few places to stay within approximately a half hour drive of the shoot.  Due to the burgeoning gas drilling operations in the area, many of our local lodging facilities have been providing long-term room rentals to the workers.  At least one of these hotels has contacted those who had room reserved for our match and informed them that they have cancelled all previous reservations.  We apologize for any inconvenience this has created to our shooters and are working to find suitable accommodations in the area.  Although, they are further away, we have added a few more names to this list.
