Should I reserve the site for just the 9th and the 10th?
Well, I guess that depends on what days you think you can make ità
Personally, I reserved #37 for Friday & Saturday. û That makes my check-out date
Sunday.
If you book yours for the 9th & 10th, that would make your arrival date
Saturday, and your check-out date
Monday.
To anyone looking to reserve a site, i wouldnt advise campsite 38. there is no place to set up a tent, give the side of a 10% grade hill, you will find yourself at the bottom of your tent in the morning. it would be fine however if you were sleeping in your truck.
Hey, itÆs
camping, not the Marriot! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />
OK, in all seriousness:
Typically, the folks that reserve #38 usually DO sleep in their rigà however; I once saw someone put their tent on the tarmac. --- Admittedly, itÆs probably best-suited for a pop-up or pull-behind camper, butà
Last time we were there, Janet (the Forestry Service Site Host) informed me of the importance of spreading our group around, and said that we really needed to stop parking the majority of our vehicles at (or so close to) site #37. --- Even if it were only used for over-flow parking, we should still get #38à And if setting-up a tent becomes a problem, then whoever reserves it is more than welcome to set-up at #37 (where itÆs level, and thereÆs
plenty of room).
Usually #35 is used in much the same wayà In addition to providing a buffer between our group and the surrounding campsites, its long driveway also serves a place to park vehicles and trailers.
Simply put: Our group has earned itself an exceptional reputation at Arrowhead, mainly because we consult with Janet, and then abide by her wishes. û And she, in turn, looks out for us. --- Because we go to such great lengths to insure that we donÆt disturb our fellow campers, and we reserve the campsites that surround our main congregational site, our efforts have been noticed and appreciated, and we have become very well-thought-of. --- Reserving a campsite that may-or-may-not be all that user friendly is a rather small price to pay to insure that we continue to be so warmly welcomed.
To put it another way: If you reserve #38, and you find the accommodations unacceptable... I'll do my absolute best to make it up to you. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
