CAMPING INFO
The HSF has a Leave No Trace Policy. What you bring in, you MUST pack out! When the event is over the desert needs to look as if we were never there!
NO GLASS
No Pallets with nails
Pets welcome, however pets must be under control at all times.
Campers must police themselves late night. Late night racing of off road vehicles around camp and airplanes is not tolerated. In the past this was an issue and cannot happen again. Please help police this.
Pilots must have good tie downs.
Please use the designated shooting area if target shooting is your thing. This only enhances the safety of our event.
STOL Drag / STOL Registration
