We will be hosting our 4 DAY SPRING RENDEZVOUS at our Stone Cliff Canyon Camp, April 25th to 28th this year. We encourage you also to attend the San Rafael Fremont Rendezvous the first week in May 2013!

Our site of 120 acres at approximately 5000 feet elevation is located at the base of the pristine Pine Valley Mountains in Southern Utah. Our site’s name is Stone Cliff Canyon and is nestled among the piñon pines and juniper/cedar trees; it has a panoramic view of the mountains and easy access to the site from a main highway.

With the weather in Southern Utah perfect for a fantastic spring Rendezvous, we invite everyone to join us. We have warm days and cool to cold nights. Buckskins are worn during the day, with capotes, campfires and lodge stoves a must at night. The backdrop for our Rendezvous includes the beauty of snow on the mountain with the majestic red and purple mountains that surround the site. The Shoot ranges will test even the seasoned shooter, our Primitive Archery and Knife & Hawk events are unsurpassed anywhere in the West. Make our Rendezvous your spring getaway!

Just a mile back down the highway to the south lies Baker Reservoir, which gives our Trapping Party and friends another great outdoor option: FISH! Bring your tackle and eat fish for dinner for a change! The Reservoir has native German Browns as well as Rainbow Trout. There are a small number of Forest Service “tin-tee-pee” sites there as well; these are first come first served.

Period of Dress is Pre-1840 (encouraged but not required in TinTeePee). Site access: located about 1/2 mile off main highway – Utah State Hwy 18 – accessible over a good dirt road. There is a choice of Primitive or Tin-Tee-Pee camp areas; a Horse Camp is also available. It is a dry camp with firewood available; burn barrels or above-ground fires only unless exception approved (Primitive only). Primitive campers: please park and walk through to find your camp area; this will eliminate vehicle congestion in the primitive areas. There is a 1 hour camp unloading time from Thursday on. If you come early please do not leave your vehicles in the primitive areas after set up. We want to keep a Rendezvous atmosphere at all times.

THIS IS A THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, AND SUNDAY RENDEZVOUS with the following events: Rifle Walk Thru, Pistol Walk Thru, Shotgun Shoot, Smoothbore, Silhouette Shoot, Cannon Shoot, Rabbit Run, Primitive Archery, Knife & Hawk, Flint & Steel, Kids Games, Children’s “just for fun” Archery, Children’s “competition” Archery (Children’s long bows only), Candy Cannon, and Jr Buckskinner aggregate. Seminars from Buckskinners are encouraged and welcomed for Thursday. Please contact Never Home (Teresa Loris- after 2:00 pm at 435-574-0682) before Rondy.

Added in 2012!! Annual Utah State Knife and Hawk Championship! We hope for some great participation and are excited to add this unique competition to our Rendezvous… Competitions start Friday at 9:00 am and you must be pre-registered by Fri 8:45 am. No Exceptions!

Important Stuff:

We made a few changes so please review the following information:

• * DRY CAMP – BRING YOUR OWN WATER – FIREWOOD AVAILABLE
• * PRIMITIVE TRADERS ONLY – SEE THE TRADER’S PAGE
• * PUBLIC WELCOME from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm
• * Camp closes to public at 7:00 pm nightly. Pre-1840 Dress is Required in Camp after 7:00 pm for all Rendezvous participants and Guests. If you have guests present after 7:00 please have them in Pre-1840 dress or have them in a capote. Anyone not in Pre-1840 dress after 7:00 pm will be confronted.
• * Drinking of alcohol by anyone under the age of 21 is strictly prohibited. Violations to this rule will require you to vacate Rendezvous for the rest of the event.
• * We cannot control the weather, therefore trade fees and/or camp fees will not be refunded if you decide to leave or not show up due to weather conditions.
• * Vehicles Will Be Limited To Short Stays In the Primitive Areas at ALL TIMES. We Will Make Every Effort To Accommodate Your Arrival And Departure But We Do Not Want To Compromise The Primitive Rendezvous Experience. We do have hand carts available if you arrive late for camping in Primitive.
• * Check In At Registration Prior To Proceeding Into Primitive Camp
• * Camp & Range Rules Will Be Posted And Included With Your Registration
• * Some Shooting Range Reminders:
• o Shooting From the Pouch Only – (Round Ball & Patch)
• o Rifle – 60 Gr Maximum; Pistol – 20 Gr Maximum
• o NO DOUBLE GUNNING
• o PLEASE – NO NEW OR INEXPERIENCED shooters allowed on shooting line – Please take them out before Rendezvous so they are very familiar with their weapons, safety guidelines etc. Bringing someone to Rendezvous that has never shot before or shot with a group severely compromises the SAFETY and Rendezvous Experience for all other shooters.
• o No one without a Rendezvous participation # is allowed to shoot on the ranges. (Public or Inexperienced Shooters) Again it is a safety and insurance issue.
• o Please make sure your weapons are clean, oiled and in working order before you go thru any of the shoots. We all have problems at times with our weapons and the Range Officer will gladly help you out but this would cut down on most of the issues.
• * Archery

• + No Fiberglass * Plastic Nocks and Dacron Strings Ok. Tackle Restrictions Include: No Fiberglass or Compound Bows, Sights, Mechanical Releases Or Broadheads

• * Fires must be kept in burn barrels in the Tin-Tee-Pee area with a fire bucket available. Please bring Your Own burn barrel (Metal Container). Primitive Camps must use burn barrels also but may have fire pits, if approved by Booshway, to meet the period correctness of your camp. Please make sure you have a practical fire bucket at each camp. Pits should be refilled and the sod replaced before you leave the rendezvous. Fires are allowed in accordance with state law and are subject to burn bans etc. depending on conditions. Please come prepared for open fire bans.
