Rat Root Rendezvous Frequently Asked Questions
Most questions are answered on the main Rendezvous Page.
When does the Rendezvous start?
We have added a day for people to arrive on the Thursday and set up their camps. Friday will see some classes happening and we encourage people to look at teaching something for everyone, for kids and for adults.
Do we need to register to come?
Registration is at the gate. You will need to sign in.
Can we come just for the day?
Yes, you are invited to camp over if you wish but this is not necessary. There are accommodations available in the nearby area and also the Nojack campground is close by. If you come for just the day then we ask that you make a donation of 20.00 for the day.
Is there a cost for the event?
There is no cost for the event, but there is a camping cost. If you come for just a day then we ask that you make a donation of 20.00 for that day.
Donations are to be made when registering. You will find a donation box at the registration table. Tent camping is 20.00 per night per tent. Class B and C trailers and RV’s are 30.00 per night per trailer/RV. No Class A trailers allowed. There is a limited amount of space for trailers so you may very well have to camp in the upper area or find camping elsewhere (Nojack Campground along highway 16). If you wish to use one of the 2 shelters that are available, they are 10.00 per person per night.
If you are staying through the event to Sunday then you will need a ticket for Saturday nights door prizes. Please don’t take a ticket if you are not staying for potluck and evening entertainment.
Anyone interested in sharing their knowledge can put on a workshop. We have a calendar schedule where people can go in and post what and when they are holding a class. You can find more information about this on the main Rendezvous page.
Are there toilets and showers?
There are outhouses but no showers. Water is provided for everyone. It is from our well and potable.
Who can all come?
This is a family friendly event, so bring the kidlets.
Can I bring my dog?
Dogs are allowed as long as they get along with other dogs and people, especially little people. In the last few years, we have had some problems with dogs misbehaving, so we have asked that dogs be on a leash or kept in your camp area. There is also a kennel located east of Evansburg called The Dog Ranch. Awesome place and the larger dogs are well exercised. Please do not tie your dogs up in the camp area and walk away and leave them.
