April 24–26, 2026
Hosted by the incipient Canton of Misty Ridge, sponsored by the Barony of Dragon’s Laire
Join Us for Beltane in the Rain Shadow!
We warmly invite you to celebrate Beltane and spring with the incipient Canton of Misty Ridge, under the banner of the Barony of Dragon’s Laire. Let’s welcome the turning of the seasons together in the rain shadow of the beautiful Olympic Peninsula!
Enjoy our third annual Beltane event on Saturday the 25th, with an option to camp on-site the night before and after. Day-trippers are welcome. Come for the festivities, enjoy the views, and take part in the day’s celebrations—no overnight stay required!
We are planning on archery, fighting, A&S, children’s activities, a Maypole, bardic, and a potluck with protein provided by the hosts. We can’t wait to see you there—let’s make this Beltane one to remember!
You can also find this event on the An Tir Kingdom calendar (link) and Facebook (link).

For site details and maps, please visit the campground’s page: https://salishtrailscampground.com
There are two options for overnight camping:
- The Salish Trails RV and Campground Park has campsites for rent, including RV sites with water and electricity, or full hookups, cabins, and tent sites with water and electricity. If you choose to make reservations with the Site directly (https://salishtrailscampground.com/), please review the options on the website and call them directly for SCA rates. For example, the best “deal” is two nights in a cabin for the price of one.
- Because the overnight camping costs are higher than at our previous site, a few “tent only” spaces are being included with the rest of the site and are available for our use, with no additional cost to those who reserve them. These sites are for sleeping tents only (no sunshades) and have no utilities. Up to 3 sleeping tents (depending on size) will share each picnic table and fire pit. These sites are limited, and we will advise when they are full. Please use this online form to request on of these tent campsites.
Whether you’re here just for the day, staying in the campgrounds’ cabins, bringing your RV, or tent camping, there’s something for everyone at Beltane in Misty Ridge!
