Garbage

PLEASE NOTE : Unlike previous years, there will be no trash pickup at Great Northeastern War.

Participants at Great Northeastern War are responsible for the disposal of their own garbage and clean up of their campsites. Hebron Pines Campground provides a dumpster for garbage disposal, located at the top of the parking lot. If you need garbage bags, they are available at Information Point for your convenience. Absolutely no garbage should be placed in grey water barrels, in port-a-potties, or the bath house. Thank you for your help in keeping this site clean.

Grey Water

Hebron Pines campground, like all campgrounds in Maine, is subject to stringent grey water discharge regulations.  Grey water (water used in washing dishes, run-off water from showers, and other types of waste water that contains soap or food remnants) may not be dumped onto the ground.  Collect all grey water from cooking and washing and dump it only at the designated grey water dumping stations.

Improper disposal of grey water violates state and county health department guidelines, impacts the environmental quality of our land and water resources, and may result in hefty fines for Hebron Pines campground and the SCA, inc.

RVs and Other Vehicles

Please note that although the campground does have hookups for RVs, we do not feel that RVs are conducive to creating a medieval atmosphere at our event, and our agreement with the management of Hebron Pines Campground does not allow for them.  Attendees are expected to camp in tents (medieval or modern).  All vehicles must be removed to the parking area as soon as possible after loading or unloading them.  You may not leave vehicle in camp, even if you cover it with tarps or otherwise camouflage it.

If you have special medical needs that require you to sleep in an RV (or other specially equipped vehicle) in order to attend the event, please contact the autocrat before July 1st to discuss your camping options.

Swimming Pool

There is an in-ground swimming pool at the campground, which may be open during part of the weekend (weather permiting).

The is no lifeguard on duty.  Swim at your own risk.

Per campground rules, no person under the age of 16 will be allowed in the pool area without direct adult supervision.  We will be strictly enforcing this rule.

Fires and Fire Wood

Do not dig fire pits.  Fires may be built only in the pre-built fire rings provided by the campground, or you may provide your own above-ground fireplace.  Pre-built fire rings may not be moved for any reason.

Absolutely no tiki torches in the woods, under overhanging branches, or within 30 feet of the wood line.

Do not cut branches from or cut down trees.  Firewood is not for sale at the site; please bring your firewood with you.

Pavilions on the Battlefield

Due to the size of the safety zone needed for Combat Archery to take place without danger to spectators, the space available to set up pavilions or sunshades at the sides of the battlefield is somewhat limited.  All persons wishing to erect structures on the battlefield must obtain permission from the Battlefield Coordinator before setting up.

Arrival Before Friday, July 11

As Hebron Pines is a campground open to the public, we cannot prohibit you from arriving prior to Friday, July 13th.  However, if you do choose to arrive earlier than the start date of the event, be aware that we may ask you to move your encampment after the event begins if you are camped in an area we have set aside for another use (like archery or fighting or a road).  We will have representatives on-site for the entire week prior to the event.  Please be courteous and seek out those on-site representatives before you set up your early-bird campsite.  Doing this will make the site set-up process less frustrating for you and for us.
