Thread: twain gathering???

folks, I apologize. I have been dragging my feet the past week. I have yet to call the campground and get solid info for ya. I will do that tomorrow and post what I find out... unless I go fishing again.... seriously, I'll call tomorrow morning.
I was going to mention a possible pot luck type dinner one night but haven't made it that far yet... haven't called the campground up yet to see which loop we would be using so I am not sure where we would have the dinner and gathering spot. I'm sure the park office will have all the details for me.

if it's anything like a catfish gathering I attend, we will just pick a loop and make individual reservations, then just pick the handiest campsite for a good B.S. session.

Greg,

Once you get confirmation on the campground I can run with either additional arrangements or the Feed Night. Looking forward to it!

I have been playing phone tag with the campground manager all morning, so I still have no firm info, but it sounds as if we are going to have to pick a loop and a specific area and then everyone can make their own reservations for a campsite or camper-cabin online. the few cabins are in the "puma" loop, and all the campsites in the puma loop are electric. I would assume we all want electric sites to charge our boats up? unfortunatly, there are no basic sites in this loop for those that might not want electric sites. but its the only loop with the cabins so I just can't please everyone.... please forgive me here, I've never tried to put something together like this.

OK, I just got off the phone with the man at the campground. he said the "Puma" campground loop is the one for us. if we reserve the campsites in the lower section of that loop, we have access to campercabins B,C,D, and E, along with about 15+ campsites, including family sites and handicapped sites, right there. there are 3 water faucets right there, spare parking and the shower houses are close by. the down side is that these sites are by reservation only, and they will fill up fast. so get it while the getting is good!!! also, as all state parks now, if you camp on a weekend, you have to pay for friday AND saturday night.

according to the manager, there are plenty of great spots for us to sit around the fire and b.s., as well as for getting our grub on!

You da man Greg!

Get to it ya'll, not one to be missed!

Thank you South point for getting this together if you need any thing send me a pm. I'm already looking forward to that week cant wait to get up there and catch a few crappie and some catfish.

Will those of us not staying at the campgrounds have to pay to get into park for visiting? Just wondering myself and measure em will be at the Southfork Resort. Already made reservations looking forward to meeting folks.

nope! you just tell the fine folks at the gate (IF they are even in there) that you are with us and they will issue a visitors pass, no charge. early in the morning and later in the day there won't be anybody there and you just drive right on in. you might run into a guy in a golf cart, that would be the campground host. again just tell em whats going on and it won't be any problem.
however, you wouldn't be able to use the boat ramp in the campground. but that's not too big of a loss, really.
