About the Gilroy Gardens Sleepover program:
- The sleepover is tent camping in a field in the park portion of Gilroy Gardens. Here is a map of their camping area.
- Please respect the grounds and pick up trash.
- Be prepared for a few mosquitoes at this time of year.
- Be aware of water lines, while pounding in stakes for your tents, if you feel resistance, please remove the stake and move it over to another location.
- Camping spots are first-come, first-serve in a large, grassy field, so look for your group after you arrive.
- Sleepover is for Dads & Daughters only, but family can come on their own on Sunday for the park time.
