FAQs

FORBIDDENLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Simply put, this is a compilation of regular questions that we are asked about FORBIDDEN that might give you some in-site to the event. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to use the CONTACT page to ask us!

(CONTENT IS NOT YET UPDATED FOR FORBIDDEN 2024)
WHO CAN ATTEND FORBIDDEN?

Anyone who has interest or experience in participating in the BDSM/Fetish/Kink community and is at least 21 years of age. Forbidden is a five-day event that focuses on the BDSM experience, bringing together many members and aspects of the community in a unique outdoor environment. You must be open-minded about the subject matter and the nature of sexual expression. FORBIDDEN does its best to provide a safe and consensual environment. Adherence to all event & park rules, acknowledgement of risk and the signing of the Release Waiver of Liability is mandatory before entering the event. The waiver and release address the release of liability of the staff, management, company, property owner, promoters, sponsors, advertisers, event organizers and volunteers from any and all liability and claims not limited to damage, loss, or injury. If for any reason a camper refuses to sign this waiver, admittance will be refused without refund. Anyone causing or associated with an altercation can be evicted without prejudice. Zero tolerance. No refunds. For the safety and security of all, valid Photo ID is required upon check-in for this event to confirm your identity. For more information regarding this, please contact the office.

ONLY YOU CAN MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION IF THIS EVENT IS RIGHT FOR YOU.

WHAT IS OFFERED?

A variety of inclusive events are offered during FORBIDDEN. Please refer to our Events Schedule (available closer to the event date) to see what else you can look forward to. The Events Schedule is updated regularly so check back often.

Forbidden offers progressive adults exclusive access to The Point Tent & Trailer Resort, an adult, members-only resort, which continues as the host venue.

ARE THERE BARS OR DESIGNATED AREAS FOR ALCOHOL?

No, there are no bars where you can purchase alcoholic drinks, but you are free to bring alcohol into the park. Part of the uniqueness of this adult-only resort is your ability to be able to drink where you like inside the park. Unlike other resorts that have limitations due to licensing, the uniqueness of The POINT provides full flexibility and cost-effective experience for its patrons. Park policy prohibits disorderly conduct including driving while impaired of any vehicle, bike, cart, etc. Please experience responsibly as and review the park rules for further information.

ARE THERE SUPPLIES & FOOD AVAILABLE ON SITE?

The park store is packed with camping supplies and confectionary items. There is also the food service vendor on-site serving wraps, burgers, breakfast sandwiches, etc. For information about other types of retailers in the area, please ask any of the park staff.

CAN WE BRING OUR OWN FIREWOOD INTO THE PARK?

Sorry, No. Moving firewood, even just a few kilometres away, can spread invasive insects and diseases to the park forests. One single piece of contaminated firewood can destroy thousands of trees. The POINT had many Ash trees removed from the park, costing tens of thousands of dollars as the result of such an incident. Since then, the park has adopted a “Safe Wood” practice, as set out by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

HOW DO I REGISTER?

The dates of FORBIDDEN are announced between February and March and prior to the season. See the Registration page for information about how to register.

In order to register, the Primary Site Holder (the person doing the actual registration) will need to have complete information for all Additional Campers being registered to their site. This includes First Name, Last Name, Address with Postal Code, Phone Number, Email, etc. Scene names will not suffice, as the names on the reservation must match your legal ID. You should also have an idea as to what type of site you’d like to book, as well as any other details (specific site request, people you want to camp near, etc.). The POINT staff makes every effort to put people onto a site type/location that is requested, but specific site types or locations are not guaranteed. Payment details are not required at registration, but full-payment will need to be paid within 7 days of confirmations/invoices being sent out.

WHAT IS THE COST?

The cost of FORBIDDEN is a combination of a Special Event Fee plus the standard Site fees of the park. More information is available on the FEES PAGE.

WHEN ARE DEPOSITS AND PAYMENTS DUE FOR MY BOOKING?

Confirmations will be sent out within 14 days of registering for the event.  Along with the confirmation, there will be a separate email providing instructions on how to pay for your reservations.  Reservations are due in full within 7 days of the confirmations being sent out.  Any reservations not paid for after those 7 days will be considered forfeit and the site will be offered to the next person on the Waitlist.  For more information, please review the information on the REGISTRATION page.

WHAT DOES THE TERM PRIMARY SITE HOLDER MEAN?

The park reservation system uses the term Primary Site Holder to identify the individual who is solely responsible for the booking. This includes, but is not limited to, adding and removing additional campers on their site, acting as the single point of contact for all payments and fees, communicating information to all additional guests, and the person responsible for any damages during the event.

WHAT IF I NEED TO CANCEL?

For information about having to cancel a reservation for FORBIDDEN, please review the information on the REGISTRATION page.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER BOOKING FEES?

1. Changes to a reservation after a specified date are subject to a $10 transaction fee.
2. Cancellation of a full reservation prior to a specified date are subject to a $15 administration fee, plus The POINT’s cancellation fee ($8.95 + 8%)
3. Cancellation of an additional guest from a reservation prior to a specified date is subject to a $12 administration fee.

For information about other booking fees, please review the information on the REGISTRATION page.

DOES FORBIDDEN HAVE A FIXED CAPACITY? WHY?

The resort has a capacity for the number of people able to attend the event. This ensures that everyone has a great experience. As a side note, sites and capacity are independent of each other – we can reach park capacity (number of people in attendance) but still have sites unoccupied and vice versa.

IS THERE A WAITLIST?

Yes! We use the park’s existing Wait List Policy that has been developed with the utmost fairness for everyone. This policy has been effective for over 10 years and has proven itself time and time again.

HOW DOES THE WAIT LIST WORK?

The Wait List Policy is actually quite a simple concept, and it follows the NEXT IN LINE approach. It can be viewed as complicated as not everyone standing in line wants the same thing, but the queue is maintained. When a cancellation happens, the options that become available are as follows:

  1. An empty site with space for a set number of campers.
  2. No site is available, but additional campers who can be added to an existing site.

When a site becomes available, we will go to the first person on the Wait List. They can accept the available site or request to be added as Additional Guests on a friend’s site. This latter option will be entertained only if they have already communicated this desire to the Primary Site Holder onto whose site they wish to be added AND the friend’s site is not at capacity. If the site that has become available is not of interest to the first person on the Wait List because they have specific requirements, then the next person on the list is contacted. This process continues until the cancellation is filled.

WHAT IF SOMEONE CANCELS ON MY SITE? CAN I PUT OTHER FRIENDS ON?

Sorry, no. Because we use the Next-In-Line Policy, this is seen as jumping the queue and isn’t playing fair with those standing in front of them. Now if your friends are on the Wait List, and everyone standing in front of them in-line “passes” on the offer, then it’s totally possible they will be able to be added to your site (It happens more than you think).

CAN I BRING MY PET TO FORBIDDEN?

The POINT is a pet-friendly resort and well behaved, leashed, and ‘cleaned up after’ pets are no extra charge.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your pet is “Camp Ready” prior to bringing them to the park. Not everyone in the park is an “animal person” so you must be respectable, present and responsible for your pet at all times.

Pets are limited to cats and dogs and a maximum of 2 per site.

All pet owners must sign a pet liability form upon check-in.

Only certain cabins permit pets. Please check prior to booking.

For the benefit of all guests, no loud, aggressive, or overly protective dogs will be allowed.

The POINT staff reserves the right to terminate a stay without refund of any guest whose pet(s) are considered a nuisance.

Pets must be current on vaccinations and in good health. Certification from a veterinarian of vaccinations must be available upon request.

For the complete list of pet rules, read the Pet Policy section of PARK RULES prior to your date of arrival.

WHAT FACILITIES ARE THERE AT THE POINT?

The Point offers a mix of different types of site. Full details on the different types of sites can be found by checking out the ACCOMMODATIONS page.

CAN PEOPLE VISIT ME AT CAMP? WHAT ABOUT DAY PASSES?

Sorry, only registered campers are permitted on the premises. Day passes are not permitted as we want to make this experience a unique and memorable one for all FORBIDDEN goers and strive to ensure the safety and security of the patrons at this event.

ANY OTHER DETAILS I NEED TO KNOW?

Yes! Security gates have been installed limiting entry to ONLY registered guests. The primary site holder must obtain a security gate FOB to use during their stay. As is standard practice, $5 is required for the purchase of the gate FOB.

  • FOBs are issued 1 per vehicle.
  • Additional site vehicles simply purchase a FOB as required.
  • Broken, forgotten or lost FOBs are replaced at cost of $10.
  • The FOB can be reused, upon presentation, on Non-Member Special Event weekends without additional charge.

** FORBIDDEN does its best to provide a safe & consenting environment. Liability & waivers must be understood, consented and signed prior to entering the event. The waivers & releases address the release of liability of the staff, management, company, property owner, promoters, sponsors, advertisers, event organizers and volunteers from any and all liability and claim not limited to damage, loss, injury. If for any reason this is not possible, admittance will be refused without refund.

DO WE NEED TO WEAR A WRISTBAND?

Yes! Everyone must wear one. Prior to entering FORBIDDEN, you will be furnished with a highly visible “Date & Time” wristband. The wristband is to be worn at all times during this event for the safety and security of everyone attending. The colour of the wristband you receive corresponds to your departure day, so it is important that you are wearing the correct colour. In the event you find someone without a band, please notify park staff immediately. As per the park policy, anyone without a wristband will be cited for trespassing and the authorities will be called. Damaged wristbands must be replaced ASAP by heading to the park office to have the damaged one replaced. Any lost bands will be subject to a fee.
