Party time
Do other campers meet off season? We do. Christmas tree hunt up north, lunch, and pot luck dinner. How about you campers?
Saturday we had our annual Camper's lunch. People from CT, RI, and MA. About 25 of us from Charlie Brown Campground get together about this time of year for lunch and it was good to see them and see what people are up to. A couple of us have new 5th wheelers. And there are some new romances out there and gossip.
We will get together again in March for a pot luck diner at the campground, prior to it opening.

Not a lot of off season camping in SD...in fact campers are pretty rare this time of year with exception of those going south.
I've always had my boat and camper ready for a winter fishing trip however. Snow just has been too deep the past few years to even reach the camper hitch with the truck with out the use of a pay loader.

We don't take the campers at this time of year. Just get together for lunch and see how everyone is getting through the winter.
Note: As far as the snow. I got 4 inches in the back yard, not enough to talk about. And yes when the coyotes come round the dog keep them away. lol

Yep that's pretty true. Once the first frost hits it's like a 65 to 70 mph exodus of campers headin south!

The CG on Lake Champlain where we spend much of the summer has a nice pre-spring get together in mid-February at a restaurant in Ticonderoga but two out of the past three years we have missed due to really bad weather in the Adirondacks and the road along Lake George we need to use to get there. It's scheduled now again for mid-Feb - but again, who knows what the weather will be plus I am having a left eye problem that make night time driving tough. As far as snow this year - we may have had 2-3 inches locally, but the worst storms the past few years have been late Feb - early March. We'll wait and see what happens

I find that interesting. Every time I go to Lake George in the winter it's never less that a foot of snow over night. And back in the seventies I went fishing of the steal pier and turned into a blizzard.

You'd be hard pressed to find any significant snow on the east side of NY. Out by tug hill, buffalo, etc they got hit pretty good.
I'll be up at the Lake George RV Park for memorial day weekend. If anyone's around look me up we'll have a beer or 10...

Heres hoping the winter stays warm, I plowed enough snow last year for 2 winters. But as stated above, February and March can be nasty up here.

Where you headed Ireland that's off exit 31...we are always looking for new places to camp. This will be the first trip with the baby so we wanted to be sort of close to home incase I needed to run the wife and baby home for any reason.
You must be fairly close to me, I'm in Schenectady/Rotterdam area.

We go to Barber Homestead Park outside of Westport. Small, privately owned CG with about 55 sites, 30 and 50 amp, sewer and water hookups. Most of us are seasonals though there are about 10 or so open sites. We pull out for extended trips - this year one will be before the mid May CG opening date, another planned will be 5-7 weeks in August - Sept for another South and West swing.

Cool deal Dave...Its nice to know someone on the board is in the area. If you ever want to meet up for lunch or a beer and you're in the area we can go to Marks, or if I'm out your way I'll give you a heads up.
Seems like there aren't too many of us from the eastern side of the state on here.

Lake George RV Park is one of our absolute favorites! I grew up going there every Labor and Memorial Day weekends from birth until I was 19.... it was the same people there every year so a giant bunch of us kids would meet up and hang all weekend... Our parents even tried to reserve sites in the same area.... we love inner loop and outer loop if inner isn't available.
Now I take my family there.... we go for a week in August.... mid week only....that dog park is awesome.
