Campsite Layout Draft 2025

We'd like to share our layout draft for DrachenFest-US 2025.

This configuration is subject to change. Many factors could impact our final positions - including heavy rainfall before the event, safety issues, wild swings in camp headcounts, and other factors which we can’t anticipate.

This year, one of our primary considerations was creating more room for growth and siege play. We've slightly shifted most gate positions to create larger courtyards and more space for battle.

Changes from 2024

• Silver Camp's front gate pivoted minimally to create more battle space.

• Red Camp shifted slightly. Its gate has been pivoted away from the road and onto the nearby meadow, creating a flat battlefield with plenty of room on both sides.

• Shadow Camp has been shifted to the area called "SCA Town", with less highway noise and better access to the bazaar showers. A hill on the north side of the camp blocks the view of the RVs.

• Green Camp's gate will move forward into the meadow (near Block D11) with a camp road passing through the edge of the camp. You can only use it to get into the camp if you are out-of-game. If you are in-game, you'll have to walk around the gate to continue along the road.

• In Blue Camp, the gate moved to the meadow on the East side of the camp. The Springwood area, north of the camp, will be fenced in and used as Blue Camp's "overflow" area. However, we don't want this area used tactically; attackers shouldn't feel like they need to "clear out" Springwood to prevent being flanked. During conflict, people in Springwood who want to join in must use a little "smuggler's door" to go OOG into Blue camp and join the fight from inside the camp.

Sidebar about moving camp banners: they must stay in spaces where at least 50 people can fight for them - so you can't bring them through the Bazaar.

See you in June!
