Harpie Camp
"Where we have not a fret in the world"

www.harpie.org

We make a meeting place for players of harps, harps with plucked strings, not harps that people blow, nor harps that are half mechanical. However, they may come too. We have nothing against harmonicas and mechanized zithers.

We want to have jam sessions that allow the harps to be heard. Well, OK, ... we would like a herd of harps too.

The moment, above left, occurred, historically, when an unsuspecting harpy told a three-time winner of the Walnut Valley Autoharp Contest that an autoharp was not a harp, but a mechanized zither.

We also enjoy silly business. Mark "Big Pants" Davis and Leon "Inhuman Strength" Peek hold mud sumo wrestling contests and disciplinary actions in front of Harpie Camp.

Where to find Harpie Camp:
We shall be in the main campground south of the Boat Ramp. If you drive past Carp Camp coming from the Main Gate (It should be on your left), keep to the right at the next fork. Look hard to the right after you pass the boat-launching ramp for a big silver tarp. [If you turn the wrong way at the fork you will pass Stage Sex]
