Campsite Guidelines

Camping Space Delegation

All clubs will be assigned camping space based on the number of paid registrations for Pathfinders, Staff members, and staff children. This information will be available in April/May, 2024, from your Conference Youth/Pathfinder Director.

  • The campground is somewhat grassy, but does have small patches of catus in some areas. Before Camporee begins, Proghorn roam through this area, so be aware of animal dropping. You may want to bring a folding shovel for removing catus and animal droppings, before setting up your tent.
  • Use tarps under your tents to help protect them.
  • Tent camping area is well organized with street numbers so one can find friends from around the world more easily.
  • Cam-Plex will spray for flies before we arrive since there will be a livestock event before the Camporee. We strongly suggest purchasing fly strips from your local hardware, Home Depot, and Lowes, to help control fies at your campsite.

Campsite Entrance Heights

Maximum campsite entrance height (Union, Conference, & Club) is twenty-five (25) feet.

Special Note: As you build your entrance, safety must be kept in mind. The entrance must be securely held in place because of wind and camper safety. We do not want accidents due to falling materials. Gillette, WY often has wind gusts over 25 mph.

Hazardous Waste & Materials

  • No oils, combustible materials, or any liquids other than water may be poured into Cam-Plex drainage or sewer systems.
  • No tools, machines, cookware, or any other items may be emptied, washed or rinsed in Cam-Plex restrooms. No exceptions.
  • No human waste, diapers, or personal hygiene products may be placed into Cam-Plex drainage or sewer systems.

Cooking

No charcoal cookers or wood burning fires are permitted. Only cooking with gas or propane-type camp stoves is permitted. A fire extinguisher must be kept in each cooking area.

Biodegradable Items

To protect our environment, please only bring items (soaps, cleaners & etc.) that are biodegradable.

Motorized Vehicles

Upon permission from Conference Youth Directors vehicles will be allowed on the campsite.  However, you must have all vehicles parked at the Conference/Union campsite before the ending of the evening program on Tuesday, August 6, 2024.  After this time NO VEHICLE movement will be allowed on Camporee grounds with the exception of long-term parking.

Pet Policy

The 2024 BTP Camporee does not endorse any of these kennels. Please do your research by contacting them directly.

Electric

Phone Charging Stations & Electrical Outlets

Conferences & Unions should provide charging stations within their Conference & Union headquarters at the campground. Check with your local Conference & Union Youth Director.

Electric Power/Generators

The camping area has some electric power hook-ups available in the campground.  For sites with no electric power hook-ups, generators may be used during the daytime during the following hours: 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM. Generators must not exhaust into any tent campsite, as the exhaust will cause sickness. Failure to comply with this guideline will result in authoritative action.

How to Use a Generator Safely

Tent Stakes/Digging Holes

Camping6″ tent stakes only maybe driven into the ground in all locations of the camping area. Permission must be received from the Services/Facilities Director, Vern Byrd, before any stake longer than 6″ is driven into the ground because of the underground utilities that cross the property (Cam-Plex requirement). NO EXCEPTIONS! Once you have permission you MUST call 811, to have someone come to check for underground utilities before placing any stakes longer than 6″. Failure to do this may be costly to you.

Call 811 before placing stakes 12″ or longer in the ground at the Camporee. View 811 calling informtion.
  • Because Gillett, WY can experience gusty winds at times, please plan on securing your tents and pop-up canopies by using weights to weigh down stakes on tents and especially cook/kitchen canopy poles. Being prepared for high winds ahead of time will save you from losing your kitchen canopy and supplies which will get tossed around by the wind. Keep your club safe and plan now for high winds at times.
