3G-Camping Retreat operates on fully private property owned by Green Grass Grove and shared with affiliated divisions of our family businesses, including The Mushroom Network, LLC, Myco-Emporium, and 3G-Nursery. By accessing this land, guests acknowledge they are entering privately owned property, facilities, and infrastructure.

By reserving or entering the premises, you agree to release Green Grass Grove (also known as GGG, 3G, 3G-Camping Retreat, 3G-Camping, and 3GC), its property owners, authorized representatives, on-site personnel, and all affiliated business divisions from any and all liability for loss, damage, personal injury, property injury, or any incident that may occur during your stay. You further agree to indemnify and hold harmless these parties against all claims, legal actions, damages, or expenses resulting from your actions or the actions of your guests.

As a 3G-Camper, you agree to follow all posted and published Campground Rules, site guidelines, fire protocols, wildlife protection rules, and Hipcamp policies. Violations may result in additional fees, removal without refund, or towing of any vehicle deemed unsafe, abandoned, or in violation of retreat rules.

If you or any member of your group becomes intoxicated to the point of being unable to safely operate a vehicle, that vehicle may be removed or towed at the owner’s expense. Safety and environmental protection are mandatory on this property.

CLEANING RESPONSIBILITY & TOILET SYSTEM POLICY

Green Grass Grove conducts both pre-inspection and post-inspection of every campsite to ensure cleanliness, bio-security safety, and proper sanitation standards.

Private Toilet Shed & Waste Bag System

3G-Camping Retreat provides access to a private toilet shed and includes a
complimentary multi-use toilet bag rig with eco-friendly gel, suitable for approximately
1–2 nights of standard use.

  • Complimentary Multi-Use Starter Bag: Provided at check-in. This bag uses gel technology to solidify liquids and reduce odor.
  • Gel Technology: Converts liquids into a solid, low-odor gel to improve hygiene, reduce splash risk, and stabilize waste.

Important Usage Rules:

  • All toilet bags must be removed from the toilet rig before checkout.
  • Used bags may not be left inside the toilet shed.

Waste Disposal Requirements

All Campers are responsible for proper waste removal at the end of their stay.

  • Sealed bags may be packed out with you, or

Improper waste disposal — including abandoned toilet bags, unsealed waste, or contamination of the toilet shed or surrounding environment — results in an
immediate $55 biohazard cleaning fee per occurrence. Additional charges may apply for extensive contamination or remediation.

TRASH & GARBAGE POLICY

3G-Camping Retreat follows strict Leave No Trace standards. Unless a Camper has purchased the optional $5 Trash Removal Service, all trash must be packed out at the end of the stay.

The on-site 55-gallon Trash Removal Barrels are reserved exclusively for Campers who have paid for the Trash Removal Service. Using these barrels without payment is considered improper disposal and may result in fees.

If Trash Removal Service is purchased, Campers must securely tie all trash bags and place them in the clearly labeled Trash Removal Barrels. The $5 fee applies per booked trip.

To protect the land, wildlife, and guest safety, GGG enforces the following Improper Disposal Fee System:

  • $20 – Minor Violation: Small trash items left outside approved areas.

LOCAL COMMUNICATIONS (WALKIE-TALKIES)

For reliable on-site communication during your stay, 3G-Camping Retreat provides complimentary long-range walkie-talkies to the designated Tribe Leader and, when applicable, their group. These devices are intended to support routine communication, assistance requests, operational coordination, and time-sensitive needs during your stay.
  • Purpose & Authorized Use: Walkie-talkies are to be used solely for communication between 3G-Campers, the designated Tribe Leader, and 3G-Camping Retreat management. Communications should remain clear, practical, professional, and directly related to campground operations or guest needs.
  • Primary Communication Channel: Channel 8 is the designated operational channel for 3G-Camping Retreat and is monitored unless otherwise noted. Campers should use Channel 8 for questions, assistance requests, clarification, battery replacements, or issues affecting their stay.
  • Battery Life & Replacement: Walkie-talkies typically operate for approximately 24–48 hours depending on usage and provide audible low-battery alerts. Upon receiving a low-battery alert, Campers must contact the property team on Channel 8 to request a replacement battery or unit.
  • On-Property Use Only: Walkie-talkies must remain on the 3G-Camping Retreat property at all times and may not be taken off-site under any circumstances.
  • Care, Custody & Responsibility: All issued radios must be returned in the same condition as received. The designated Tribe Leader is responsible for all units issued to their group. Loss, damage, or failure to return any device will result in a $60 replacement fee per unit.
  • Additional Units: Additional walkie-talkies may be issued upon request and are subject to availability. All additional units issued remain the responsibility of the Tribe Leader and must be returned at checkout.
  • Secondary Contact Method: If radio communication is unavailable or ineffective, Campers may use the phone number posted on the blue and red gate signage at the property entrance. This signage lists the most reliable direct contact option when radio communication cannot be established.
  • Digital Backup Communication: Messaging through the Hipcamp platform may be used as a tertiary contact option. Due to terrain, weather, and signal variability, response times via Hipcamp may be delayed compared to radio or gate signage contact.
  • Network-Level Support: Questions or concerns extending beyond on-site camping operations — including land stewardship, cultivation topics, education, research, or platform-level matters — should be directed to the appropriate network help center via https://3g-camping.com/Help/. On-site operational issues should remain with 3G-Camping Retreat support.
