Wedding Party

The picture above is a map of the property grounds which shows the locations of the Rainbow Lodge, Dorms, Picnic Shelter, Pool &amp; Parking. Parking: Priority for the back in parking location should go to our campers and folks with limited mobility. The majority of our guests should use the "Xtra Parking" location shown on the map which is to the south. If you are staying in the dorms, feel free to unpack closer to the building, then relocate your vehicle.
