***Important Information:***
Please read and follow these guidlines!
There is NO GROUP CAMPING on Friday. That means if you arrive at Whistlers early you need to PAY for camping in the Individual sites.
People arriving on Saturday can setup in the designated group camping area "A" And there will be a roped off section of "B" for overflow.
All Parking for DAY OF Registrants for either day, need to park in the lower Day Use area. The upper Parking lot is reserved for Car pools of 3 or more, or Group Campers. We will have someone on hand to help direct parking and camping.
There will be a 10pm Quiet Time in place. This is when we will Officially end our Players Party. At that time you need to follow the DOUGLAS COUNTY PARKS rules on being quiet after 10pm.
There is a Leash Law in effect at Whistlers Bend Please maintain your dogs on a leash. Failure to do so is your responsibility.
The Battle at the Bend is not the only event at Whistlers Bend this weekend. There will be an organized party of sorts located in the main portion of Group Camp "B" Most of these people are gonna be just like us, having a good time, and Camping.
We need to maintain respect for this event, and not camp in their area. They will have beverages and music. I have spoken with the organizer and have worked out for us to use the group A, and roped off part of B if we need it.
The Organizer has expressed that its OK for disc golfers to come hang out, and have fun as well.
So I think this will be a weekend to remember. This is our chance to show the County that we can work within guidelines, and keep the park clean!
