The 23rd of EVERY month? What are you, a werewolf? Or is that the day the magic wears off and you turn back into a pumpkin?

I just talked to the lady that takes reservations for camping, heres the info.
A deposit of 32 dollars is required to send down for the weekend if we want to get a campsite, full hookup.
The lady said that unless its a holiday that there is always enough camp sites available, how ever you must contact them ahead of time and then mail in the deposit.
Each member will have to do this on thier own in advance
the number to big bear lodge resort (and camping) is
1-800-922-2327...expect a southern sounding voice to answer LOL

I told her about the group, said we havent narrowed the time down yet but will soon..and that probably 12-20 of us will be there..I hope that number continues to grow

Its always been nice to get some of the reservations and money taken care of ahead of time, just one less expense once you get there.

Some expenses to consider once we get there are :
Paying for the rest of camping..I think its about 32-35 a day for FULL hookup, 21 a day for primitive.
MY buddy Scott was just camping there in July and said no ramp fees at the marina or the other state ramps...I'd recommend the state ramp just around the bend from the marina(easy to find)..the marina ramp is very steep and very short....

I asked about May 15 16th and she said so far the summer is open except for holidays, which makes our picking any date pre or post memorial day
ok for availability for sites.

Call Big Bear Resort yourself and ask any questions needed, and we'll decide when we are going and then each member/team will send in for thier own sites.
You can ask about showing up and paying when you get there, she indicated we should send in a deposit..
We need to ask her if its non refundable if we dont show up and any other concerns..as always, these ppl are very nice to talk to about details.

Also, I am note sure but in the past that area is a dry county, we used to send members to near by Padcah Ky (half hour away) for beer if ya run out.. I'll ask about that, I never used to drink when we were there before
