Big Basin Tent Cabins, Store & Cafe is the concessionaire for Big Basin Redwood State Park and has been managing the tent cabins, grocery store and cafe in cooperation with California State Parks for nearly 40 years. California State Parks has confirmed that the buildings and structures at Big Basin and Little Basin were lost in the CZU Complex Fire.

Basecamp Hospitality created this Go Fund Me account to support the Big Basin Tent Cabins's employees, as they were unexpectedly, forced to rebuild their lives after losing everything in the this fire. Everyone at Big Basin State Park and surrounding communities received notice to immediately evacuate. Rosie and Keith lived onsite and both of them lost everything and they need all the basics to rebuild their lives. They had a short time to pack the essentials and left with only the clothes on their backs, their pets and important documents but everyone is safe. Thank goodness. 

These donations will be collected through September 20, 2020 and distributed to the Big Basin Tent Cabins General Manager, Rosie Alexander and her team.  No gift is too small, anything you can contribute to help get them back on their feet is very much appreciated. 

Thank you for your time and consideration.  Stay safe.
