Doe Bay

THIS IS A DRAFT, NOT YET FINALIZED

ToorCamp 2024 is located at Doe Bay Resort & Spa. Doe Bay Resort sits on 38 acres of the most beautiful, pristine waterfront land on the San Juan Islands. Check out pics of Doe Bay.

Doe Bay Store

The store has limited supplies, groceries, sundries, clothing, gifts, and souvenirs. The store will have some grab-and-go food items available and also has drip coffee available when the Cafe is not open.

Hours: Open daily 9:00a-5:00p with extended hours during ToorCamp on Thursday, Friday, Saturday 9:00a-9:00p.

Doe Bay Cafe

You’re in for a treat when you dine at the Doe Bay Cafe, which offers some of the finest seed-to-table dining in the region. Most of what is served is grown in their on-site garden so the menu changes weekly. You can view their previous menu offerings on their website.

Reservations are required for dinner service and parties of 6 or more for breakfast service. Reservation inquiries can be made at cafegm@doebay.com (make sure to state you are with ToorCamp).

ToorCamp Hours: Thursday to Sunday 8a-12p brunch, 5-8p dinner

Soaking Tubs & Sauna

Come relax in the Doe Bay Spa, which offers 3 outdoor soaking tubs and a sauna set over a waterfall with incredible views. Please read the rules before use. The Spa ADA back gate (along the trail down to Otters Cove) serves as the entrance to the soaking tubs and sauna; the Spa front gate remains closed.

The spa will be open for communal use during ToorCamp. Capacity is limited to 20 people.

Hours: TBD

Maximum Occupancy 20 people. Please regulate yourselves. The first to arrive should be the first to rotate out. If there is a queue, please limit your use to 15 minutes. Spa use is a privilege and access will be revoked if privileges are abused. Please be respectful of others.

Amenities

Check out the pics.

Guest Kitchen

The Guest Kitchen is located in the Prime District (Lower Field) adjacent to Lower Bathhouse and provides a full kitchen space and kitchenware. It includes 2 full-sized refrigerators, 2 standard-sized ranges, a charcoal grill, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, tea kettle, pots and pans, cooking and eating utensils, plates, bowls, cups, etc. There is indoor and outdoor seating. There is also a large dish washing sink at Lower Bathhouse.

Upper and Lower Bathhouses

The Upper and Lower Bathhouses each have showers and toilets. The toilets are closed 11:00a-7:00p daily to ease strain on the septic system, but the showers remain open all hours. There is also a large dish washing sink at Lower Bathhouse.

Camper Comfort Station

If you are camping in the nature district, a camper comfort station is provided with potable water and lockers/storage to help keep your food safely secured and out of the reach of the greatest resident pest, the raccoon! We urge you not to leave food in your tent, even at night. This is also where you will find port-o-lets and a fire station nearby.

Electric Vehicle Charging Station

There is a ChargePoint, Level 2, 240 volt, J-1772 supply charging station located on Homestead Rd, adjacent to the Doe Bay Garden where you can charge for free. Please move your vehicle once done charging.

Accommodations

Doe Bay has deluxe and rustic cabins, yurts and domes, and private campsites. All deluxe cabins (with plumbing) are reserved for cr3w, villages, and sponsors. The other accommodations are prioritized to villages, speakers, DJs, etc. If there any remaining available accommodations, they will become available to general attendees (accommodations without plumbing only).

Complimentary wagons and carts are provided to help you transport your camping gear and supplies.

Misc

Fire Safety

Doe Bay does not allow open flames of any kind on the property other than the community fire ring and propane cook stoves. NO campfires, propane fire pits, candles or incense are allowed at the cabins or campsites. There are fire extinguishers located in red boxes on the outside of each cabin and a fire station along the trail to Nature District.

Does the store sell ice?

Yes, but demand will be very high and they won’t likely be able to keep up with need.

Is water available? Is all water potable?

Water sources include deluxe cabins, guest kitchen, bathrooms, camper comfort station, and the water spigot by the yoga studio. All water is potable, except water in the garden is well water and tastes of sulphur but likely not dangerous, and all water at the spa besides the drinking fountain is also sulphur well water. Doe Bay will label non-potable water.

Food and critters

Do not leave food out or in tents. There are animals that will wander camp on occasion at night, such as deer and raccoons, that will get in your food. Also do not leave car windows down. Are there food lockers provided or something? I saw a note on the site bay website saying not to leave food in our tents

Check-Out

Cabin and yurt check-out is at 11:00am. Please return your cabin/yurt key to the Store when you are ready to check-out. General camping check-out is TBD.

Otter Lodge

If you would like a moment of peace, check out the Otter Lodge, located downstairs from the Cafe. The lounge and library offers a good selection of books, games, and puzzles. And don't forget to check out the view from the outdoor deck.
