What to Bring

For your comfort, please come prepared for wind, rain, fog, or sunny weather. We expect mild to cool days (50s to 70s) and cool nights (40s to 50s) most of the year (late fall, winter, and early spring temperatures are slightly cooler).  Layering your clothing can be an effective strategy for our variable climate.

  • SLEEPING BAG AND PILLOW OR BEDDING FOR SINGLE OR ONE DOUBLE BED

  • TOILETRIES: Bar of soap, shampoo, toothpaste, medications. If you anticipate needing basics such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or stomach remedies, please bring enough to last your stay.

  • SHOWER SHOES:  If desired.
  • RAIN GEAR:  A rain jacket can be useful as a windbreaker too.
