There's gold,
and it's haunting and haunting -
It's luring me on as of old -
Yet it isn't the gold that I'm wanting
So much as just finding the gold.
It's the great, big,
broad land 'way up yonder;
It's the forests where silence has lease;
It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder;
It's the stillness that fills me with peace.
--Robert W. Service
2010 Camp Availability
Click here for a step-by-step guide to signing up to go to Moore Creek
We are no longer holding spaces based on verbal communications. Only a paid deposit
will reserve a space.
Only 14 spaces are available per week.
Note that there is a "day off" between weeks. People who book for consecutive weeks get the benefit of an extra evening, full day, and next morning for free.
Due to the remote location of Moore Creek and limited space available, advanced planning is required to ensure availability of travel accommodations; therefore we strongly recommend visitors signup at least 90 days in advance of the week they intend to attend.
