CAMPING

Today is the day you can start lining up if you are camping and ready to claim your space.  This year is a bit different because ROMP is usually held in the summer and school is out.  They will be utilizing Reid's Orchard and campers will need to head to the orchard in the RV staging area and wait for directions.  They will continue to update social media to let everyone know when they are full and then campers will need to make other plans until the gates to ROMP open.
