The Pacific Primitive Rendezvous has built a reputation for having lots to do for everyone and this year will be no different.

This year there will be a colt Patterson match.
There is a great Traders Row area. Trade fees are in addition to the camp fees. All trade items are to conform to the pre 1840 era and the spirit of the event. Horse camp will be adjacent to the main camp with plenty of shade, feed and water. Due to quarantines on hay, certified hay, will be provided at the cost of $25.00 per animal. For additional information, please call.
Over the past few years there have been an increased number of dogs and the problems associated with them. If you bring it, clean up after it, keep it quite and under control at all times. Dogs must be on a hand led leash, 10 to 12 foot max. This doesn't mean left at camp on a 15 foot leash all day. Your dog should be in your camp not guarding your neighbor's camp so he can't get home. Maybe your dog isn't a rendezvous dog.
