I am going to be there with my family, but not sure if we are RVing it or tenting it.

I would like to get an Idea as to who is going to be there and if you are RVing or tenting it.

If you have reservations where are they???

Thanks all

I just got my trip tick in the mail, and hope to go. My hubby is a teacher at a local college and I'm not sure if he can get the time off, but we are going to try.

If we go, we'd have to rent an RV or a small cottage as my back couldn't handle a tent

Hoping to see you all there!

Hope to see everyone there

Others are coming but these are the only spaces reserved that I know of. Maybe we need a roll call. I know Missy, Melanie, Sent, Kam, No car Dave and others are planning to come if possible.

You have plenty of advance notice folks, these get togethers are a real fun trip. Let's just keep this on the first page till we fill the place up.

I don't think there are any cabins available at this particular camp site because I was hoping to find one, but the website indicated that there weren't any.

Instead, I'm going to have to scrounge around and try to find our old tent or else maybe try to rent a camper. I might not be able to stay for more than just 2-3 nights 'cause I might have to come back home and help pack hubby off to China, or maybe even go with him, if push comes to shove. (I'd rather float on a river in Arkansas than travel to China, you can believe me for sure about that.)

There are literally tons of mom and pop type cabin and canoe rentals up there...these are only a few.
 

I'm thinking of going the cabin route myself...so any information about that you can provide would be sooooo appreciated!

BTW...LOVE the dress !!!

so that those of us who may not be staying in the actual park will not have to keep paying the entry fee each day?

I seem to recall that this pass is good for an entire year and can be used at any National Park???

It's around $9 per night for the camping spot, and I assume that you are free to come and go in an out of the park as often as you please, such as to make trips out to get fast food or whatever. Maybe I'm mistaken, though.

Any ideas from experienced campers about this?

We're not into the retirees' RV crowd yet (old enough to be, but just not retired with leisure time to travel yet), so I'm not too familiar with how the park service handles situations like this.

Heck, it's been so many years since I've camped out that I'm not sure I even remember how to keep my matches dry for fire-building to cook. I guess I'll be eating lots of cold beans out of a can -- if I can remember to pack a can opener, that is.

Maybe I'd better pack a few extra six packs of suds in hopes I can swap them for matches and a can opener, huh?
 

Isn't there a one time purchase National Park pass that can be obtained in advance for use here...

Yes,

It is called "The National Parks Pass". It costs $50.00 and if your a AAA member you can get a discounted rate.

It is good for one year and is good for any National State Park. It admits the driver and all accompanying passengers in a private vehicle to any National State park.

Also when you sign up for the Park pass, you will also get a map of all the National Parks, including info about the parks.

You can order the pass by calling 1- 888- GO PARKS. Or by going to AAA website and order it online. Be sure to mention that you are a AAA member to get your discounted price

Hope this helps!

The other logistics need to be worked out.

So, count me as a maybe at this point.
 

I was hoping you wouldn't be able to pass up a trip like this one.

Do we get to see the hat with the fruit on it??

Thanks for the cabin info Rosemary, I could have sworn I saw cabins on a map somewhere but I often can't get into that reservation site late at night, I think they update it then or something.

Maddog picked the site area, he has a camper on his truck, and Jenny and I have a banged up but usable old 'silver bullet' travel trailer, so we wanted water and electric to run the blender. No sewer hookups available though.

Let's keep the list growing.

Maybe another time, but I hope you all have a great time.

Dll
 

There appears to be several camp sites, I sure hope you guys are all on the same page and not splitting up yourselves by not all getting to the same camping park.

MADDOG are you going to be planning events? like a flotilla one day and a chillie cook off another??? Anyone have a Kareokee machine?? I am not suggesting every moment being planned but a few group events would be great wouldn't they???

I highly recommend getting together as often as you can with other in similar situations; it does wonders for the soul.

I'll be there in spirit though..
