Lynne, meet jstan and me at the Camp 4 parking lot on the afternoon of Saturday September 19th, and all will be revealed. Secret password, decoder ring - the whole bit. You need have no concerns - life in Camp 4 may be to a slightly different rhythym than Yellow Pine, but all will be well.

re:

oops, forgot essential point #5:
[5] best to never offer a spot in your site in Camp 4, lest you end up with 11 sweaty drunk dirtbags in your bivi sack.
> "Sterno... checking to see if it's cheaper than cervaza."
honey, if there was anything cheaper than sterno, we would have surely drank it first. woolite makes for a brutal hangover.
methinks perhaps our excellent sister needs an introductory tutorial on the art and science of applied dirtbaggery. oh, the venerable and available talent in this venue...

No, but lots of coffee cans with plastic lids.
Yes, Camp 4 has heads. The potties even flush.

Its really no big deal, all the freakshows are in the boulders behind curry and you will be surrounded by foreigners, who are surprisingly interesting company (a few drinks in).
The more people you can cram into a '3 man tent' the better/cheaper your stay will be... just make sure to stack all the sleeping bags on top of eachother every morning :D
No sir, this is just my tent, I like space.
Bring good alcohol, something you can share with canadians for REAL whiskey.

So they do have toilets ? Where is H20 ? Like to cook and wash ?

There are toilets. There are sinks in which you can wash dishes and you can sponge bathe in the restroom. Showers are available at Curry Village.
Camp 4 is an outdoor hostel. Lots of folks from everywhere. Fun place. Occasionally you get crazies - watch out for the Irish contingent that sings all night and then pukes in the campfire.
You will enjoy Camp 4. Lots of history and generally a very good vibe.

1. There is a single toilet block in the centre of Camp 4. It has 4 - 5 flush toilets for each sex, plus 2 - 3 ordinary sinks.
2. There is (cool) potable running water - a tap outside the washroom block, and a tap with large sink in a central room. The latter is not intended for dish washing (the sign says that in 18 languages) but often is anyway. Still, you can get water at it.
3. There is a shuttle bus stop across the road. Every 15 or 20 minutes, goes to Curry Housekeeping and Village, etc.
4. It is a five minute walk to the Lodge and cafeteria, 15 minutes to the Visitor Centre.
5. Maximum capacity at Camp 4 is in theory 210 people, in 35 sites.
6. Camping in vehicles prohibited.
7. Quiet hours (as usual) 10 PM - 6 AM. The rangers seem to come around one or two nights a week to check. (Thank heavens.)
8. There is very fine bouldering in Camp 4, which you should try.
Ken can advise as to road closures, e.g. if they're still working on the loop road.

If you dye your hair purple, rub sand in your eyes, drink a large bottle of liquor the night before, don't shower for a week, behave loudly, and puke in the fire pit - you might get attention in Camp 4. But don't count on it.
These are outdoors folk, and apart from generally being healthy, few care much for appearances. So don't worry about bedhead.
