Place: Rood Creek Park, AL (directions [http://www.thesouthernmarches.com/index.cfm?page=winterwar2004.cfm here)

Waivers: Adult and minor waivers (MUST be notarized) can be obtained HERE.


  • Site: PRIMITIVE!! Outhouses only, no running water, showers, or electricity. The nearest bathhouse, water, and electricity is 2 miles north to Florence State Marina. There are fire pits and tables at each campsite, but they are not movable. You may NOT dig your own firepit.
  • Weather: Average high 63, average low 42.
  • Age: 16 to fight, any age to attend. Persons under 18 MUST have an attending chaperone over the age of 21...NO EXCEPTIONS!!.
  • Waivers: All waivers MUST be notarized regardless of age and be accompanied by a government issued ID (ie driver's license) upon sign in at troll. (This is a federally owned site.)
  • Check in: Begins at 3:00pm Thursday. Pay, show your ID and notarized waiver, have troll escort you through the site to set up camp, then let the troll know where you are camped. (This is for security purposes.)
  • Check out: From 10:00am to 1:00pm Sunday. All persons must have their camping area clean and inspected by event staff before leaving.
  • Troll:

Thursday 3:00pm-7:00pm
Friday 9:00 am -7:00 pm
Saturday 9:00am-7:00pm
If you come before 3:00 pm Thursday you will not be allowed in the campgrounds. If you come at a time when troll is not open, there will be instructions at the gate as to where and when the troll can be reached.

  • Vehicles: Vehicles may be parked in the available parking spaces next to the camp sites or in the Main parking area about 150 yards from the camping area. Driving within the camp area is allowed only from 7:00 am-12:00pm and 5:00pm-7:00pm unless accompanied by a troll for camp set up or emergency. There is absolutely NO driving through the camping area after dark without permission from troll. If you need to go into town plan ahead and/or park in the main parking area. The camp area is directly across the road from the fighting area and we do not want to dodge vehicles going to and from battles.
  • Nearby Facilities:

Florence State Marina--about 2 miles from the park entrance. $2/car fee to enter. Showers, laundry, and water available. City of Eufuala--About 10-15 minutes from the park. Population aproximately 30,000. Stores (such as Walmart, Kmart, and grocery) and restaurants (from fast food to dine in) available. Gas station/mini mart--about 5-10 minutes from the park. Typical selection of gas station food in a small station.

  • Rules: The standard Belegarth Book of War rules will be used for this event.
  • No Pets: There are no pets allowed on the site or around it, so leave them home please.
  • Keeping the site clean: All persons must tell troll where they are camping so that the area can be inspected for trash prior to leaving.
  • Noise: Though there are no set noise restrictions, we would appreciate it if the noise level was lowered to a dull roar after 1:00 am.
