Food and Coffee

Hours vary by event

Caffeina’s Coffee House – only open during certain events

In the Pavilion

Our in-house coffee shop features local muffins, cookies, cakes and many more treats depending on the season. We have your backwoods drink needs covered! We offer Pepsi products, La Croix sodas, Gatorade, iced tea, Red Bull and of course, COFFEE! We use locally roasted, organic, fair trade certified Silver Bridge Coffee, and offer a light roast, dark roast and Jamaican Me Crazy flavored blend. We have local Snowville Creamery 2% milk and half and half.

Hestia’s Hearth Kitchen – only open during certain events
Located next to Caffeina’s

There’s no need to rough it when it comes to food. With our multi-generational love affair of working with food we delight in feeding the people. We make all our food home-style and try to add as many local/organic ingredients as we can. Dinners include a generous helping of sides as well as the entree. Compare our moderately priced meals, for healthy food, to the high cost of fast food. You will appreciate our home-style alternatives, served with a smile, in the beautiful fields of Wisteria. Many guests eat with us to save the time and cost of preparing and storing food at their encampment. Alternatively, you may want to eat some meals at your campsite, and some with friends at Caffeina’s, or just grab it on your way to your favorite workshop. The choice is yours, we’ll have the food hot and ready.

Kids’ Village Playground – currently closed

The playground is available for the enjoyment of the children. Children must be accompanied by an adult while in the playground area.

Portable Toilets

There are blue portable toilets located throughout the campground for your convenience. A disability-accessible portable toilet is available next to First-Aid. Please close the lid completely when finished to allow the convective process to function properly and keep the interior stink-free. If the toilet paper runs out please let a staff member know, and we will restock them promptly. Portable toilets are pumped every morning.
