πŸ• What to Bring to TRC (So You Don’t Look Like a Lost Raccoon)

TRC might be a queer oasis, but sugar, it’s still the woods. We’ve got nature, weather, and wildlife (and we’re not just talking about your ex at the foam party). So here’s your essential packing list for tenting and beach adventures, with a little fabulous on the side.

 πŸŽͺTENT CAMPING ESSENTIALS

You + a tent = magic. But don’t forget the gear, darling:

  •  Air mattress or foamy – no one wants to sleep on roots.

  •  Beverages – hydration and libation, you choose.

  •  Bug spray (DEET is your bestie)

  •  Bungee cords – trust, you’ll use them for everything.

  •  Batteries (for your flashlight or your... accessories)

  •  Camp chairs – your tush deserves support.

  •  Cooking stove & propane

  •  Cooking utensils, dishes & cutlery

  •  Cooler (locking preferred... raccoons have no shame)

  •  Food – nearest grocery is 10 miles, supermarket is 22. Plan accordingly.

  •  Flashlight/headlamp – navigating trails after dark = less drama, fewer bruises.

  •  Hat – for sun or style.

  •  Hatchet – for kindling, not conflict.

  • Ice – lots, we also have limited supply on site you can ask the host hut if we have any in stock $5 a bag

  •  Lighter or matches – start fires, not drama.

  •  Mallet or hammer – tent pegs don’t pound themselves.

  •  Newspaper/paper – firestarter realness.

  •  Pillow – you’ll thank yourself.

  •  Rope – for tarps, clotheslines, or spontaneous drag runway rigging.

  •  Sleeping bag – or layered blankets if you're extra.

  •  Tarps (top & bottom) – rain happens.

  •  Water – Potable water is available on-site (yay 2024!), across from the Woodpeckers seasonal site and another station on Trail 6. Bring jugs or bottles to fill.


πŸ– BEACH BABE CHECKLIST

Headed to the river beach? Here’s what you need to serve body and survive the crossing:

  •  Bathing suit (or not, it's clothing-optional!)

  •  Beach chair – for that “main character” posture.

  •  Water shoes – you do cross a stream to get there.

  • β˜€οΈ Hat + Sunglasses – protect your face, preserve the fantasy.

  •  Small cooler – for drinks, snacks, and stashing your secret rosΓ©.

  •  Sunscreen – you’re hot, not toasted.

  • β˜‚οΈ Sun umbrella – for the pale, the fabulous, or the fragile.

  •  Thermal mug – keep drinks icy or hot, depending on your mood.

  •  Towel

  •  Tub, floatie, or inflatable air mattress – yes, we float here.

πŸŽ‰FABULOUS OPTIONAL THINGS

Not required, but highly recommended for full TRC fantasy:

  • ✨ Colorful signs – for your site, your beach crew, or your vibe.

  •  Condoms and lube – safety first, darling.

  •  Costumes – theme nights, parties, or just because you can.

  •  Twinkle lights, lanterns, glow sticks – it’s a queer campground, not a horror movie.

Camp Address:
47715 Mountain Loop Highway
Granite Falls, WA 98252

 Pro tip: If you're missing something, ask around! Our campers are generous, charming, and often overpacked.
