1. Who is camping?

2. What are the camp sites like?

Strongly suggest getting a hotel room. I went a couple years back and saw the "campsite". Pretty sure it was just in the dirt in the main parking lot wherever you could fit your tent.

It's really not that bad.  Yeah the parking lot is dirt and turns to mud with rain but there is plenty of grassy area to camp in.  The facilities are not the greatest.  The restrooms are usable and the showers are questionable.  There is a dirt floor pavilion for cover from rain if need also.  It's really just the heat.  Camped there just fine many times.  It's really just  dealing with the heat.  There are 4 or 5 electric posts if you want to run a fan, just need a 30 amp adapter.

With that said is going to be hot so I"m on the fence between camping and hoteling it.

I jumped the gun, I only saw the grounds after a huge Storm hit so my memories were only of slick mud. Ill have to make another trip when its dry!

If anyone can deal with my snoring, I'm willing to split a room at a decent place.

me n Beth were hoping to make this too, but outta $$$ after the honeymoon last week, and the pull rig is going under the knife for a rear disc brake conversion, tired of messing with the old junk drums on that sterling. I just dont feel good about pulling very far with it again until that is done. Maybe we will shoot for the next one

At this point, I'm planning on just coming for the day on Saturday.  The good news is that it looks dry.

Too hot for camping for me. Courtyard in Oxford will be my campsite.

I may do the same if I have a DD...hint hint! Lol

That's my issue. I don't want to camp, but I also don't want a dui. Not sure what we're doing yet.

Yes.

This is not an open weekend for the park. $40 per rig.

Is someone from GATR collecting the money or should we put it in the regular box?
