Wild Idaho Yoga Festival

Recreation.gov, on behalf of the Nez Perce Clearwater National Forests, describes Wilderness Gateway Campground as offering dozens of accessible single family campsites with paved parking surfaces and no utility hookups, says accessible vault toilets, flush toilets and drinking water are provided throughout the campground, and describes the group shelter, the covered pavilion the festival uses for classes, as accessible with accessible flush toilets and a parking area adjacent to it.

That is the Forest Service and Recreation.gov speaking about the campground in general, not the festival speaking about how it lays out its practice spaces. Nothing is published about the surface you would actually practise on inside or around the pavilion, about slope, about distance from parking to the pavilion, about accessible showers, about a companion or carer ticket, or about adaptive or chair based practice.

The festival does publish two facts a disabled reader should weigh: you must arrive by private vehicle because there is no public transport or taxi service, and the site has no cell phone coverage at all, so you cannot call out for help yourself.

Note also that the festival is held in Group Loop A, and the Forest Service forest page for the same campground states that potable water is not available at this site, which conflicts with what Recreation.gov and the festival both say about drinking water taps.

Ask the organisers directly before travelling

The words quiet space and sensory appear nowhere on the festival page. The one genuine quiet related provision is a camping request rather than a space, and it is about generators: the organiser asks RV campers to minimise generator use and not to leave them running overnight so as to maintain a peaceful environment for those around them.

The site also has no cell coverage at all, which the organiser presents as a digital detox rather than as an access feature
