• Bring insect repellent. You are camping in the mountains and the critters abound. You'll find it in the pavilion, but that doesn't do much good for the mosquito buzzing your ear at 10:00 at night.

• Electricity is available only in the pavilion and bath house. Leave all your electronic gadgets at home. Your cell phone won't work, either.

• You have to HIKE a mile to get to the camp, on a dirt trail that has a steep uphill section. If you try to bring a suitcase or a wheeled bag, you'll regret it. Instead, use a backpack or fanny pack.

• If you haven't spent much time at high altitudes before, discover what you need to know before you get "high."

• If your kids haven't hiked and camped with you before, this may not be the best place to bring them. It's a long hike back to the car with an inconsolable child and you can't get a refund if you leave early.
