OK - here's the scoop.

No group sites avaliable in Cedar Grove for our dates. However - June 1-15th Campsite B is open and A, B, C & D (she thinks D is the best one) are open June 8-14. If we get a reservation we do not pay until arrival then it's $40/night.

There are 5 midsize campsites in Cedar Grove but they are first come/first serve. They hold 7-19 persons. Then at least we'd only maybe need one of those plus a regular campsite. Just an option.

So do we want to try for an earlier date? If so when or do we move along to the plan B chance it method?

OK: I will defer to your expertise and experience on this. Since we are not taking any other vacation time as of yet, it shouldn't be a problem for me to get time off to go up Thursday (or was it Wednesday... maybe I should go look).

1) I'm cool with earlier. It was Disneyphile who had an issue with dates, so hopefully we'll hear from her soon.

2) Am I to understand you can reserve a random Group Campsite, but which one you get is first-come, first-served?

3) In any event, but especially if Item 2 is a "yes," I'd rather take our chances with first-come, first-serve at Sheep Creek.

Why don't we go ahead and snag a reservation, we can always cancel if something better comes up, but at least we'll have secured something.

If you decide to do it earlier in the month...I might be able to make it. The dates late in June interfere with our cruise from hell with the in-laws and in-family.

Where did you get the idea for #2? I looked back at DP's post (copied below) and I don't see anything that mentions this.

No need to go back to DP's post from days ago. This is from Katiesue's of a little while ago re Cedar Grove group campsites:

So, I reiterate. If Group Sites are first come, first served ... why bother with them over the Loved-It-With-Our-Own-Eyes pre-swankapproved sites in Sheep Creek?


Yes, Group Camp would be a few dollars cheaper for each camper. And technically, some spot would be reserved.


I don't think either are sufficient advantages.



In fact, I'm gonna vote we grow a collective set and try for White Wolf in Yosemite.

Gemini Cricket 02-15-2008 05:45 PM

Hmmm. White Wolf or Sheep Creek...
I vote for Sheep Creek. But that's just based on the name and that's all.
:D

swanie 02-15-2008 05:48 PM

According to Katiesue, the group site reservations are for a specific site.
