**On a case by case basis, we may allow groups of up to 8 guests. Group sizes between 5 and 8 guests must bring camping tents to accommodate the extra people. The nightly fee for additional guests over 4 is $45 per person/night which is arranged through messaging. **Guests traveling with a dog (we only allow one dog) will be lodged in the Owl’s Nest, as we want to keep one structure pet free for our guests who are allergic. We require that your dog never be left unattended during your stay. We appreciate your understanding! Camp Cruz features a fully equipped covered outdoor kitchen, clean composting toilets, hot showers, and much more. The kitchen includes a propane oven/stove with pots, pans, cooking and eating utensils, a collection of spices, a charcoal grill (guests must bring their own briquettes), a sink with potable well water, a full-sized refrigerator, a french press and an industrial coffee maker. We provide paper towels, hand sanitizer, dish and hand soap. There is a full-sized ping pong table in the kitchen area for your enjoyment. Guests also have access to a propane campfire pit, a garden, a deck overlooking the creek, hammocks, a meditation pagoda, and open space in the forest. We provide our guests with a guide to nearby hiking trails. **Special Activity Available: The Music Dome (aka the Eagle’s Nest) is a 22 ft. geodome fully set up as a musical jam room (see photos). Guests interested in using this space either for playing music or just hanging out in the big dome should message us for further details. A small fee does apply. **Wifi and a Verizon cell signal are available in the kitchen area. However, the signal is weak. Texting and making calls are possible but fast emailing or streaming video is not. **Note about Covid-19: Guests can rest assured that we sanitize and disinfect all guest spaces in between reservations. We run a UV light inside both structures for one hour after we manually clean the space in between guests. We expect our guests to take precautions regarding stopping the spread of the virus, including wearing a mask when checking in and staying home if you are sick or have symptoms.
