I'm good with April except the weekend of the Carlisle Car Show. So there is 4 votes but I am good with May also so I will go with the group.

I'll go along with the majority. I may not be able to make it but I will pay my share of the fee.

Whatever the majority decides is fine with me. If it's cold and wet I'll have to find a way to warm up or my back will just quit...lol. Anyone know someone that can sew a stove jack into a canvas tent?

I've never camped there before. Can we park on the group site or do we have to park in a parking lot and hoof it to where the campsites are? If we can park where the group site is I could sleep in the M1102 if its real wet.

The group site's for that weekend April 15-17 have all been taken. I'm open to ideas on trying another site, such as the single site units.




Looking at the single sites, they are either max of 8 people for 12$ per night, or max of 16 people for 24$ a night. They have a single Tent Pad, and a gravel driveway it looks like. So Marty's trailer would work, along with one tent. There is only one double site that I can find.

Website with the information on the single site: LINK

However I don't know this campground, nor do I know which sites are waterfront and which aren't. But for fishing, the water front would be kind of nice.

Facility Details

Last edit, then I'm going to go cook dinner.




6 is the 16 person site, Blue sites are available.

Is there a one tent per site restriction? The only concern I have is that everyone has a place to sleep. You're right though, we better move fast or we're gonna miss out on getting a site.

Based on my experience with state camp sites, 2 or more tents are ok, as long as there is space. With the limit of 8 people per site, I think at least two standard tents would be expected. Now if someone wants to set up the Taj Mahal, well, that may be a little different. I will probably bring one of my small tents, either a two or 4 man tent.

Ball Rolling!

Alright, I have a sight reserved/paid for.
I went ahead and paid for #006, that 16 person sight. I set it for the max of two vehicles, two tents, and 16 people, just to be safe
I have it for that weekend of April 15th through the 17th.
We can't check in until 4pm Friday the 15th, and I'm planning on being there then. And we have to be out by 2pm Sunday.

I went ahead and got 7 to go along with 6 just in case we need the room for tents/vehicles.

I just picked up 9 and 11. So it's game on. I'll either start a new thread or edit the original with the updates.

.
I've done more checking on the sight I rented, it does show 2 vehicles and 16 people max, but I don't see anything about a limit of tents. And it mentions vehicle length limit of 20'.
And I'll call tomorrow and ask about bringing in trailers, for Josh's Jeep, and for Ka'Bluey.
I did find some rates for off road vehicles, but the date is from 2003, so I'll try to get the amounts for that as well, and will post everything then.

Does someone want to pick up 8 and 10 also? That way we have our own little corner of the camp ground.

I just reserved site 8. So we have sites 6,7,8,9,and 11. Sounds like this shindig is coming together. I am going to see if I can borrow a friends camper to bring if not it looks like tent city. Either way will be a great time. Looking forward to the Springtime.

Just tried to book 10. Hopefully one of us got it, because I didn't.



EDIT:: Never mind I got it.
