HOW TO FIND YULE FEAST 2008
Millersylvania State Park is located approximately 12 miles South of Olympia. Take exit #95 off of I-5 (Maytown - Little Rock) and travel EAST. Signs for Millersylvania State Park are along the route. When the road finally comes to a T, turn Left (North). The main gate to the park will be on your left after passing a private commercial resort.
If you are arriving after dark, note that the main gate may be closed but should be unlocked. If it is closed, be sure to close it after you enter.
Once inside the park, follow the paved road and the signs that say “ELC” all the way to the far end of the last parking lot (near the lake), and turn into the gate marked ELC on your right. Careful, it’s a small sign and easily missed. (If you find yourself in the campground area, you took a right instead of a left curve at the place the road divides. Oops. Signs that say "ELC" exist, but are sometimes hard to see.) Go through the gate and continue on that road (narrow with nothing but scrub and shrubs for the most part).
When you get to the parking lot, there will be a large building next to it. Go in the closest door (REGISTRATION) and sign in completely BEFORE unloading your personal items and wood. Leave the wood outside, against the side of the building.
Emergency number at the main hall (pay phone) is 360-753-9948. If this isn’t answered and it’s a REAL EMERGENCY, the Ranger’s number is 360-753-1519. You may leave these numbers with relatives or baby sitters with the understanding that the Ranger’s number must be reserved for vital emergencies.
