Each tent is connected to a shed containing a kitchen and bathroom; the sheds are also used to store the tents during the winter. Tents are in such demand that there is a waiting list of over ten years for summer rentals.<ref name=arcadia /> Rent runs from $4,000 to $6,000 per summer. All prospective tent inhabitants are interviewed. Subletting of tents is not allowed; dogs, cats, and barbecuing are also prohibited. Tent inhabitants do not have to be Methodist, but they do have to support the association's spiritual missions.<ref name=Genovese/><ref>{{cite news |last=Chesler |first=Caren |title=Where Time Stands Still |url=http://njmonthly.com/articles/jerseyshore/where-time-stands-still.html |access-date=December 30, 2013 |newspaper=New Jersey Monthly |date=May 7, 2010}}</ref>
