Yikes! Does anyone have driving directions? I don't know anyone in the group, but despite registering with Mountainside (and having been there once a few years back), I never got directions! Looking forward to the weekend, assuming I don't get lost! If anyone can share directions, you can text me at 774 722 2962 to respect their policy of not posting the location online. Thanks! --Keith
Hello: This will be my first time with the group. I most likely will be staying nearby. Do they allow guests to hang out with patrons at the site? Looking forward to meeting you all. --Frank

So I just called the number and the call dropped. I sent an email a while back, is this Tent/RV sites only? thinking if they have a cabin, I would rather rent for the 2 nights, in case of rain. Any help is appreciated!
Ginger, tried email again. Yes tent sites, cabin and rv options. I am tenting myself, several cabin options. Great place, hike will be fun too, but other options available. Let's chat some how. JT.
