Strawberry Camps  
 
 What is a "Strawberry Camp"?
 
  

Many groups of people who attend the festival year after year have established their own "camps". These camps are frequently located in the same location during each festival. Although the people that actually belong to these established camps are a minority at the festival, the camps contribute greatly to the festival atmosphere for all attendees and often provide the venue for wide range of off-stage jam sessions.

Following is a list of camps from Strawberry past and present. If your camp does not appear, but you would like it added to the list, please email it's name and a little blurb about the camp including where it is usually located and when it was established to Steve Zimmerman. Also, feel free to send along a scanned or digital photo of your camp if you would like to have it linked to your camp's name.

 Birch Lake Noodle Choir "The Birch Lake Noodle Choir is a camp that's been going strong for over 10 years. We earned our name one year when we invited people to raft up with us on the lake but only if they would join us in song. We ended up with about 35 people singing water themed music. Our camp is usually located down the road from Camp Pig Out towards the tennis courts and sometimes we're right next to the tennis courts. Our camp is notorious for singing everything and anything. Regulars at the camp are Jerry Paul (the guy walking around with the stand-up bass on wheels called the "Jerry Rig"), his wife Claire, Jonathon Arthur and Gail Swaim (sing with the Banana Slugs), Jody Healy, me and my wife Barbara (San Francisco Bach Choir and UC Davis University chorus) our kids and lots of other musicians and singers so we seem to keep growing every Strawberry. We're up to about 20 people now. We create a stage with tarps and Jerry's Econoline van as a backdrop. We love Strawberry!!!" [ Sign ]

 Camp 6764 Harmony Lane "The name of our camp is "Camp 6764 Harmony Lane". The name "Harmony Lane" came about in the Fall of '05 when our group first met. Peewee and family have had a small camp since ’99, nudged to attend by parents, Pops and Sylvia of Camp Carltone. Dave finally came to see what all the excitement was about in ‘05. The Illia's, nudged to attend by Terry, also from Camp Carltone, came to check it out that same year. That first wonderful festival together, we met as neighbors on Thursday morning set-up, strangers working together, showing each other respect and "The Strawberry Way". By Friday, we were as close as brothers and sisters, instant tight ties. We've been a family ever since! Strawberry has a definite harmony to it, and it's felt very strong in our camp! The term "harmony" to us, is a feeling and a way of life at Strawberry. The address "6764" came about the following Spring when Pops and Sylvia moved from the house Peewee grew up in. Peewee reclaimed the numbers off the house that his brother made in wood shop class and we hung it over the "Camp Harmony Lane" sign, and the name has stuck ever since! We've been camping on Shady Grove Walk across from "Camp Carltone" and next to "Camp of the Easily Amused" all along, and have become close friends with all of them. We love our growing Strawberry family and look sooooo forward to spending time with everyone! We have grown in numbers over the past few years; the "harmony" seems to be contagious! Come on by for some wine tasting, carne-asada, chili or chowder next time you're walking by, under the big tarp we call, "the big blue sky".......Oh, and we encourage you to bring your instrument(s). We'll barter good food for good music!"

 Camp-a-FORD-it "We are the Forde Family (Dan, Candy, Danica and Ladron). We have been coming to Fall Strawberry since 1994 and like to camp near Rock 'n the Road & Hog Ranch Rd. We were part of Camp Ketchy Naym (as in "Catchy Name") but evolved into "Camp-a-FORD-it" for two reasons: 1. Our last name is Forde. 2) Our Ford Windstar broke down in area 51 outside of Tonopah, NV on our way from Aspen, Colorado. It cost $500 to get towed to Bishop, $3,000 for a new transmission and $250 to rent a car to get us all to Stawberry while our van was being fixed. We love Stawberry so much that we would spend our last penny to get there!" [ Sign ] [ Sign 2 ]

 Camp Amnesia  [ Sign ] 
 Camp Avalanche "Camp Avalanche home of the Mighty Avalanche Choir is usually located near the entrance of the lower Wild Flower RV meadow. The main feature of the camp is the white, heated, 26 foot circular tent with a large 30 candle Chandelier hanging from the middle. The Choir and many of the visiting musicians usually have a shtick of some sort to share, so we try and provide a generally respectful venue for those who want to hear and be heard. Since the full Choir itself is only usually in camp on Friday and Saturday nights, Thursday and Sunday are pretty much open to what ever happens. In any case it's a great place to hang when it rains or the temperature drops." 
 Camp B Flat "Est. 1997 by some late-night pickers and Strawberry staffers. We're the first left on Yosemite Trails Rd, overlooking Birch Lake. Top of the hill under the big white canopy, eating, drinking, and making music into the night." [ Sign ]

Mostly populated, coincidentally, by Bearded Fat Guys (though Stan kindly insisted we weren't really *that* fat) and our tolerant and bemused Significant Others, all from the Sacramento area. Base camp of the as-yet-undiscovered band High Strung, incl. several Strawberry veterans who have the good sense to pitch their tents elsewhere. Camp photo scrapbook should be up soon at http://www.wilburhaines.com/CAMPBFG.HTM Already a notoriously dissonant pickin' camp, although said S.O.'s have been known to impose an early curfew and send us off wandering into the night. Come on by and say Hi, and maybe you can even show us how to actually play these instruments we keep lugging around because 30-40 years ago we heard they attract women ....." [ Sign ]

Each of our campers has their own adjective (Cool, Classy, Short, Loud) that best describes their personality. So, from day to day, it changes from "CAMP B2 RICH" to "CAMP B2 CREATIVE". We are an offshoot of CAMP AVALANCHE who first brought us to Strawberry and we are usually camping in the Wildflower Meadow area where the paths diverge on their way to Rock in the Road."

 Camp Calamity "Camp Calamity was established in 1992 when one of our founding members dropped a 500 lb. nitrogen cylinder on his foot two days before Strawberry, crushing upteen bones-but did not let it stop him! Then his wife tripped over the guy wires (remember them?) on our canopy and wrecked her knee--and Camp Calamity was born. For the last ten years or so we have been located in Wildflower Meadow, straight through the trees from Bathhouse C. We have had our share of further calamities, including dropping the rear axle on our trailer in the meadow in Spring of 04. Spring '05 features a big guy with a broken leg--had to do something to live up to our Strawberry name! Several years ago we were lucky enough to talk a friend with a PR business into joining our camp, and so every year he surprises us with "custom Calamity clothing". We have our own souvenir Camp T-shirts each year, Calamity beanies, and straw hats! My, do we look awesome! Come see for yourself!" [ Sign ] [ Group Photo ] [ Spring 2007 Cup Winners ]

 Camp Cravin' "Est. 1997. We camp on Meadow View Trail next to Coyote Meadows, near the junction where the walking path crosses the meadow. Over the years we’ve merged with Camp Desperado and some other motley bandits. Our camp travels to many music festivals up and down the west coast. We keep our all-night jams going with tequila and carrot juice health drinks and strong coffee. How Cat came up the name Camp Cravin’ is in interesting story, but not fit for publication." [ Sign ] 
 Camp Crud "At the 1st Mather Festival, a van pulled off Hog Ranch Rd. close to Bath House C. Both doors opened up and two men fell out followed by beer cans and empty liquor bottles. After a few days a little boy walked by, looked at the cans and bottles and said, "Crud"! Thus the illustrious begining of Camp Crud. The boy later came back with a sign that said, "Camp Krud", making it official. Camp Crud has lived up to its name and has become a place to eat, drink, throw your garbage on the ground and play music pretty much all week-end. As they say at Crud, "There's a stage here?" [ Sign ] [ Photo ] 
 Camp Crude "Est. 1992 A few festivals later some of us walked past Camp Crud and at first thought it was Camp Crude. We were very disappointed that another camp had the perfect name for our camp. We were delighted when we realized our mistake! We have been Camp Crude, where expulsion of bodily gases are not only accepted but appreciated, ever since. Thanks Camp Crud. We have moved around quite a bit but it seems we have finally found a home in hidden meadow." [ Sign ]

 Camp Dance A Lot "We are "Camp Dance A Lot". We have a group of people from Truckee and Sacramento that have been coming to Strawberry for 11 years now and we have finally settled on a name and have found time to make a camp flag. We love to dance and will usually be found dancing in the meadow or around the many after hour jams we love to frequent. We are usually camped in the area opposite of camp pig out up on the hill. A good half way point between the lake and the main stage. - Strawberry Pam" [ Photo ]

 Camp David ""Camp David" is obviously a play on words, but matches the fancy of the real thing! It all started with just a tent and a camp stove, but now includes a trailer and every kind of cooking apparatus, including a blender with marine batteries, inverters and solar chargers. It all starts a few days before the festival as "Camp David" and eventually turns into "Camp 6764 Harmony Lane" once the rest of the crew arrives. The name is proudly posted on my trailer and always gets a laugh when seen for the first time. "Camp David" and "Harmony Lane" are known for the great eats and the friendly atmosphere, so stop by say hello! We're at Shady Grove Walk under the tarp we call "The Big Blue Sky"." [ Photo ] 
 Camp Dead End  [ Sign ] 
 Camp Decadence "An orange and white parachute is the crown of Camp Decadence, located on Birch Lake Road near Bath House C. The camp was named in the Orwellian year of 1984. Eric West designed and painted the Camp Decadence sign, which we believe was the first large "camp" identification sign to be displayed at Strawberry. The mastermind and custodian of this "Winchester Mystery House" style camp is Rich Chamberlain. As the name implies, Camp Decadence is all about eating great food and enjoying the good things in life. The jams are legendary -- Choro, swing, bluegrass, bad 70s music. Lance Hilt, the "mayor" of Strawberry says "These are my people!" The camp motto is "Too Much Is Just Enough For Us"." [ Sign ] [ Camp Photo ] [ Camp Photo 2 ] 
 Camp Decide What to Wear  [ Sign ] 
 Camp Delta Dawn "Camp Delta Dawn was established around '98, though several of us have been coming to Strawberry since the beginning. The name came about because we were often playing Neil Young tunes and other artists and songs of the 1970's. One of our camp members, Andrea, was always wanting us to play gems like "You Picked A Fine Time To Leave Me Lucille", "I Am, I Said", and "Delta Dawn". People would walk by our camp repelled, yet strangely attracted. We have had large jams in the past where people came up with 70's numbers that were mostly forgotten (For reasons that became obvious). Come on by and share a song!

Rescued from death by roasting by Dean and Randy at Camp Mostly Grinnin', they (along with Art, Lisa and Dave) have been Coyote Meadow faithfuls ever since. The camp was named in Fall 2000 when, at trip's beginning, Vicky's bike wheel flew off the rack and under an eighteen-wheeler. The trend continues.

Dance around the Meadowfest,
Weave and wind the music through us ...
Woven into one we're blest ~
So when the quilt is split to patches ...
Remember warmth we've taken there ...
In the comfort of Meadowfest ...
Music's blanket laid to rest ~
Just like the Sierra snowfall and rain provides the Central Valley with its precious water, Camp "Gorge~Us" was destined to be. This magnificent journey began in 1982 when two founding campmates accepted an invitation, by a fellow bluegrass playing friend to join him, at Leland Meadows! ... As the Strawberry Bluegrass Festival moves to Camp Mather and changes its name and continues to grow, so does this band of merry campmates. In a traditional "Strawberry Way", Camp "Gorge~Us" happily claims fun to a core of twenty steady wanderers. Wanderers, who all happily forget their day jobs, enjoying life again in this lovin~family zone!
Camp "Gorge~Us" is known to bring smiles to the faces of passers-by or at least an "Oh My". At Camp "Gorge~Us" the party rarely stops and the camp mates there are always ready to entertain or be entertained! Originally called "Camp Funky Monkey," Michee and Jimmy’s gourmet meals changed it all. When campmates couldn’t stop eating their yummy cooking, Camp "Gorge~Us" was born and so too was their new camp motto: "Eat to Drink, Drink to Live"!
Camp "Gorge~Us" is conveniently located on Hog Ranch Road, the 1st camp on your left, southward from the Strawberry concessions. It is located where the lil' meadow fence corners to Hog Ranch Road, just a stones throw from the Heartbreak Hotel. You can’t miss it with Giraffe and his Funky Monkey Tribe hangin' round jus' waitin' for you to stop by and share sum Strawberry Song & Spirits! It is said that the chief monkey, King Kumona~Wona~La'ya, has permanently given his lavender~feathered~lay to Camp "Gorge~Us" Giraffe, so you will know you’re there and not lost in the jungles of Coyote Meadow!
Camp "Gorge~Us" wants you to know that whenever you’re in the neighborhood, please stop by to unplug and be happy! And warning …you might want to bring some good tequila, because they have been known to run out!" [ Sign ]

The generations of No Ka Oi campers have adhered to the core beliefs of "More is Better" and "Ya Gotta Sin To Be Saved", as well as "It's not about looking good, and it's certainly not about smelling good.

As in most relationships, each camp wanted to have their own identity. So, Avery, the 4-year-old and youngest member of camp at the time, dubbed us Camp O'Girl.

Maybe we'll call it "Pun d"harmonium". Next year we may actually bring along the Harmonium (Indian keyboard instrument). Our camp represents the joining of members (Ellen and Sofia) of the old SPN camp and "old-timers" Rick and Linda from, well, Camp Stove?? Thanks to enthusiastic recruitment, we have some new regulars from Berkeley & Oakland (Dave, Amy, Brett, Kate). Most of us have sung together semi-professionally at one time or another, and we all enjoy a healthy irreverence for most things (excepting the Strawberry Way, of course), and enjoy bad puns and good laughs. If you like to sing - traditional, folk, harmony, standards, spirituals, madrigals, Beatles... bring your whatever and please come and visit! You can sing like Edith Bunker, if you want. We also maintain a wacky almost-9-year-old girl at camp who would love a buddy (source of much pandemonium). We are located somewhere near the Big Rock between Twin Giants Road and Hidden Meadow Loop - away from downtown and closer to the lake. Always within shoutin range of Camp Pig-Out (thank goodness).

Mark Staneart(the California Okie)was invited over for some tasty gourmet meals and as they say, the rest is history!! A couple years later the Rhino Lounge was added(thanks DOC) and the infrastructure was in place. Since then we have grown in size and have added our own festival features. In the Spring at midnight on Thursdays, the Rhino Lounge host a Cabaret that features a vaudevillian style night of fun, music, juggling, and whatever magic that you bring to share(please come to watch or preferably to join in)!! In the Fall Camp Pig-OUT host a Chili-Cook Off on Sunday afternoons. Tasting is during the dinner break(Strawberry time), and Pig-OUT usually arranges music to be featured during the last couple hours of cooking(this is Strawberry afterall)!! Pig-OUT encourages entries from other Strawberrians in either the meat or veggie categories but be for-warned, its no small task de-throning our in camp "Champs"!! Cooks should check in with Pig-OUT at the beginning of the festival for more details.

 Camp Take It With You "Just wanted to throw a fast blurb in about Camp Take it With You... It actually started 15 years ago when a group of hot and dusty and tired motorcyclists on their annual run over Memorial Day stopped by the big tree there as a "rest stop" and it became kind of our unofficial stomping grounds over the next decade... Our original group went seperate ways(sadly), but when my partner and I returned to Strawberry last fall, we re-discovered the "mother tree" (a huge "lightning" oak, now roped off) and a group of wonderful people and decided to call it our "home away from home"... Camp take it with you is to the right of the store up the dirt road, over the bridge and just before the sunrise bluffs, across from the owls roost behind the " decrepit cabin" there. The "mother tree" is the large oak that is roped off behind the cabin, just down the slope from the road. Occasionally, one hears the soft wafting of accordians nearby, and music in the distance... restoring our "strawberry sanity" for the rest of the year..."

It seemed only fitting, as we are big bluegrass fans, that we should name our camp after the famous Bill Monroe tune, which asks the question to which we all respond with a resounding "YES"!" [ Sign ]

 Camp Zappa "Dedicated to the late, great genious Frank Zappa, Camp Zappa was established by long- time Strawberrians Pat Walsh and Jeff Taylor. Pat and Jeff have been attending the festival for 14 years as of 2008. Feel free to stop by and talk music, grab a bite, a buzz talk anything Zappa or just enjoy some good conversation. Camp is highlighted by solar powered tikis and an awesome Camp Zappa banner. Zappa fans are encouraged to stop by and either recite or sing your favorite FZ stuff in front of the banner. We'll provide the digital video. Camp Zappa is located across the road from Birch Lake. We are on the main drag as you head into the festival. Looking for us in the a.m.? Just follow the smell of our famous bacon." [ Sign ] 
 Campalot Dead Ahead "Campalot Dead Ahead-a Sattelite camp of Campelot and Bodie Beer Bonanza, inhabited by the Huey-MacPherson clan, four generations of Strawberrians! It's near Rock inthe Road, across from the Wildflower Meadow road and is the entrance to Campelot. Welcome!" [ Sign ] 
 Campelot "Campelot-This camp was established by Cactus Bob and Prairie Flower and their Columbia pals in 1990. Camp name was inspired by our banner artist, Chris Jepson. At Campelot we party, feast and jam constantly, the only thing we don't do alot is sleep." [ Sign ] 
 Campo de los Velcro "We call ourselves "Velcros" because we STICK together. We had this name before we even attended Strawberry. Many of us only see each other once a year (at Strawberry) but, we have always stuck together no matter what!! Through many hardships and crazy things.........Most of us have been attending the festival for, at least, a good 10 years--some people more and some less. Some of our group comes from as far away as Tasmania, Queensland, Minnesota, Vermont and New Jersey!! We have always camped up from the intersection where Yosemite Trails Road and Meadow View Trail merge--at the top of that little loop, on the Camp Mather boundary and by the fireroad. It is nice and quiet and most other camps have been in that area for a while, also." [ Sign ]

We started attending Strawberry in the spring of 1990, however we did not ‘find our spot’ until 1993. Our camp is the home of ‘that blond Betsy on the bike, who sings so sweetly’. She began as a Strawberry kid, age 6 ½ years, and has celebrated her 18th birthday in January 2002. Phillip Hudson, a Welsh singer-songwriter living in Boulder Creek, also calls Dragondreams home at Strawberry. He has been known to make beautiful music and sing his sometimes-satirical, always-lyrical songs in camp and at the Breakfast hall. We are located ‘downtown’ on Hog Ranch road, in front of the Graceland building and just across from main bathhouse at the Music meadow." [ Sign ]

 Festival Preview Camp "Festival Preview Camp is the evolution of the family Ruby-Rehm Camp, which first set up at the far end of Twin Giants Road in 1992 and returned pretty faithfully through the 90s. Since Dan Ruby started Festival Preview (www.festivalpreview.com) in 2005 and has been writing extensively about Strawberry, his camp has flown under a Festival Preview banner in several different camp locations. Wherever you happen to see the banner in the future, feel free to stop in for a visit and to pick up a copy of FP's latest tipsheet on the festival and the artists."

 Groovers Paradise "Established at the first spring festival, 1986, by three Strawberry stalwarts - Lefty, Obiwan, and Ozone Ranger. We had a bunch of kids and friends, all Strawbery virgins, and we found a stone solid groove which we never lost inside the realm of Camp Mather. Often populated by true music lovers from Bend, Oregon, who also caught this groove. Sometimes called Camp Yeltsin by Dallas Dobro, due to the ever-present bottle of Stoli vodka. Home of the ubiquitous Moondog, a true wild rover fond of wearing Hawaiian shirts, ungodly shorts and an empty six-pack holder as a hat. The flag of Harp Hall will always be found unfurled above the Paradise, but alas, the school bus runs no more, dying a mournful death outside Groveland (or is that Grooverland) after Fall 2003. Groover's Paradise has seen weddings, engagements, conceptions, and a whole lot of noise beneath its blue and gray tarps. Not a quiet camp, as all can attest. One of those kids from '86 just had herself a kid, and the groove goes on......" [ Sign ] [ Sign ]

 High N' Outside "Located in the lowlands on the west side of Shadowy Grove Walk this camp always contains a suspicious contingent from Portland OR as well as the local Chef from Auburn CA. Established in 1996 by fate and the quest for the perfect location between the meadow and the lake it is a combination of people who never would have met but for Strawberry, now isn't that the way it should be!"

 Kamp Koala "Established 1995, with earlier versions appearing in 1994. Usual number of campers = 20. Look for our white carport/canopy with the Kamp Koala banner and the orange koala road signs as you approach. We are right behind the new cabin 60, between the general store and the Meadow on Hog Ranch Road, in the vicinity of Bathhouse C (women's side). Highlights include excellent food and drink (avocados, salmon, avocados, fajitas, avocados, grilled cheese sandwiches, avocados, margaritas and the ever-present Pickin' Liquor) in great quantity, as well as bluegrass and folk jams with the occasional excellent percussionist joining in. We also feature propane heaters and bass players on demand. Kampers span 3 generations. Lineage of the personalities is vague, but we had Australian influences early on, hence our name. We are mostly from the SF Bay Area, but new members hail from parts South. The Grateful Dudes from So. Cal. are usually somewhere close by.... --Lisa Burns and Larry Mix, your camp hosts. " [ Sign ]

We've only been going for three festivals and we were surprised that there weren't any campfires allowed. As a result, we made one that is fake and only powered by batteries... but it looks pretty real." [ Camp Sign ] [ Photo 1 ] [ Photo 2 ] 
 Little Camp Rehension "I've been going to Strawberry Music Festivals now for about 7 years, but mostly solo, camping on my own or with friends at other camps. In the last year or so, we've gathered a few friends and have established our own camp bringing different skills, and/or the lack thereof, to our spot at the head of the Sunrise Trail. It is a grand work in progress, though primarily, we don't know what the hell we are doing, hence the name, "Little Camp-Rehension". Anyway, the spirit of Strawberry is alive and growing in leaps and bounds, and our fine camp is unfolding with great fanfare. Here's a photo of us yahoos. - All the best, Steve Curl" [ Photo ] 
 Little Om-Nippy-Tent City "Our traditional buzz began in the Leland dust bowl of ’82 where we forged our sissy campin’ technique with grilled sea foods, glass bottled beverages and a home-made shade canopy in the “meadow”. (T-shirt don’t hardly fit no more.) We’ve since staked our claim creek-side below the arts & crafts shack with a leering eye towards wayward interlopers – a quiet cul-de-sac known as “Dead End Camp”. The core camp councilors are Merced folks Terri & Paul “Mental” Ward partnered with Ginger & Billy BOBtone Taylor – always quick to advise the ignorant and encourage the seeker. We ain’t nearly as spry as we were 20 some odd years ago when it comes to things like pre-dawn “strolls”. However, we’re wiser to know when to put the cork back in the jug, when to nap, and when to beat the a.m. bathhouse stink. Hence the new handle: Little Om-Nippy-Tent City." [ Sign ]

 Lost Dog Camp "We have been attending the fest for over 10 years now and have a rather large set up with a full kitchen and a 30' X 30' circus type tent, the jams happen all night every night and the Lost Dogs stick to pretty much original music. Whare you may ask...why Lost Dog camp is located right next door to Camp Pig Out or on the corner of Twin Giants Road and Hidden Meadow Loop, we like it there because camp pig out is not a quiet place and we are not a quiet camp."

With close to a 100% recidivisim rate, our ranks have swelled ( who you callin' rank?). We've been largely nomadic, having moved into town from Sunrise Trail several years ago, but we think we've found a home just across the barbed wire in Coyote Meadow.

We will be coming this year from Sparks, Nevada and Portland, Oregon, and some of us have recently started attending the spring Strawberry, too. We camp on the women's side of bathhouse "C" where ever we can squeeze in. The name came about when I found a little wooden sign at a craft faire, and dubbed it our official name. This year I have my quilting stepmom working on a quilted sign that will bear the "Strawberry Patch" name and be easier to see. So come on by and say "howdy" if you see us.
