Bullard's Beach State Park is saying that it does not have any sites available for all three nights of the Oregon Gathering. THIS IS NOT THE CASE, PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS BELOW IF YOU ARE TRYING TO BOOK FROM NOW THROUGH THIS WEEKEND (OCT 17-21)

I can no longer handle cancellations and waiting lists so am starting this thread instead. ~Nancy

Cancelling Reservations:There are 4 steps to cancel your reservations:

1. Before you cancel your campsite reservations with the ReserveAmerica....
2. Check the postings here. Contact people that are looking for sites. If no one is currently looking for a site, then post a note on this thread along with an email address so people can contact you. (Please post when you find someone to take your site.)
3. Go to the following link and let me know that you will not be coming to the Oregon Gathering. (This action will not cancel your campsite.)
   I Will Not Be Attending the Oregon Gathering
4. If you do not get a response within a couple of weeks, then go ahead and cancel your site with ReserveAmerica.

If you would like to attend the 2008 Oregon Gathering and cannot get a site at Bullard's Beach, please post here. Check back often to see if anyone has posted about a cancellation. (Please post if you find a site.)

Nancy

Nancy,

I just checked ReserveAmerica.com and Bullards Beach State Park DOES have openings in B and C loops. The problem: for some reason the website won't allow you to have July 17 as your arrival date, even though it's less than 9 months from today. If you choose July 16 as your arrival date you'll find there are still lots of openings for the dates of the Gathering. For folks that want an arrival date of July 17 you might want to call the 800 # for Reserve America for your reservation.

Jeanne

Jeanne is 100% correct.

I just went in and made several "mock" ressies for open sites in B & C Loops and it let me into all of them. I went as for in the system as I could without actually confirming my payment. My arrival date was on the 16th.. if I did the 17th, it wouldn't let me book.

A Loop is most definitely full at this time, however.

Try making your reservations tomorrow. RA is doing some major upgrades for the forest service and BLM campgrounds ... as a matter of fact, you can't book for either during the month of October.

Perhaps there is a burp or two in the system due to that upgrade. I had a similar issue a couple of weeks ago where I could not get an accepted ressie and I was within the 9 month window. I was able to do so the next day, however.

Tomorrow, when you book and your arrival date really is the 16th, just enter that (+ the # of days you want, of course). Thats what I did and it worked. Go figure. (Next year is a leap year.. maybe it is counting DAYS and not DATES??? That would explain the one day lag...)

Gina,
I did the same thing that you did and came up with what you did, I know of two people that got reservations and haven't sign in with Nancy so I e-mailed them and I E-mailed Nancy and told her about some people not signing in with her.
Thanks for all you do for this great site. Jay

Thanks everyone! I thought it was weird that the campground was full already.

Thank you, thank you!
Nancy

I know spot A64 has just been cancelled at the park. Quick someone snag it!

A-5 is open for Thursday-Sunday. This site has electricity and water but no sewer. Contact Tammy right away if interested.

Nancy

I contacted Tammy, she indicated site A-5 is now taken.

Site A-4, water and electricity, is available: 17th to 21st. Contact: John and Nancy

We were able to reserve the Hamilton's site A4. Thank you, Bob

I want to attend the gathering in Bandon in July but cannot get a site online. If anyone is cancelling, please let me know. Thanks!

Site C-14 a full hookup is up for adoption...we had a family situation come up and will have to wait until next year to attend. We booked for July 16 arrival and departure on July 21. Ann

Hi Ann -
Has your site been snapped up yet? Nick and Janelle with their furry pals and their 13' Scamp (first timers for this event - did the fall event @ Champoeg) would love to adopt it. If it is available - let me know the details and we can get you covered.

Just got my summer schedule of treatments and there is a direct conflict with the Oregon Gathering, really bummed that we cannot make it. Our west coast trip has been changed to a fly in, fly out and need to be back home by the 15th.

Site B63 will be available from the 16th to the 21st. Let me know if you are interested and we can see how to change the reservation over to your name.



Nancy.....Will fill out the cancellation form shortly.

Is B63 still available?

I need to adopt a spot at the Oregon gathering 16trhish to 20thish, its a Compact Jr so any spot will do, I live in Arizona so Oregon sounds nice in July...Would love to be there. If there are any more cancelations please email caledoni55@hotmail.com or call my cell 928-830-8832.

Harry & Kenna

We are in need of one more site arriving on Friday the 18th (or Thursday the 17th) and departing Sunday the 20th. If someone is unfortunate enough to not be able to make it, please let me know so that I can send you payment for a site and so that you don't have to cancel your reserve america reservation.

Thanks!
-Isaac

Looking for a spot at the Oregon gathering... 19 foot Biggar (makes me smile to type that... it's new). Any spot & any combo of dates would be WONDERFUL! Ideally, electrical hookup but not necessary. This'll be our first gathering with baby!

Cass & family

We are so bummed. Lori’s work has cancelled all vacations in July and she has to work, no options.

I made reservations for A-60, the handicap site with full hookups. It is very close to the doings. If you are handicaped and are interested in our site, please let me know.

Mike

Quick note we were arrange an adoption for our site, thanks for all the inquiries. Ann

WOW, BIG BUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations to Harry & Kenna Young, they were the first to request site B63, and the arrangements have been made with the parks dept for them to take over this site!!!

I too have to cancel. I had some med things happen last month which ate the vacation time set aside.

My space has been taken, I think, however.

Can someone that has canceled and transfered the site explain the process? Do you just call the park and swap names?

Sit at the comp and yell CLICK ON IT NOW, I JUST CANCELED!!!?

How does this work?

Hiya Gina! You need to make direct contact with a person to set up them taking your space... and if you haven't done so yet, and if I happen to be next on the list, we'd LOVE your spot! We can arrange to send you payment (assuming you've already paid) and all that jazz. Let me know! Tanx. ----Cass & family

Yippie I have found a spot!!!! I Dunno how to delete my posting for help, I can say I got the help! Oregon or Bust.

Harry& Kenna

Thank You, Thank You, May your winters be forever mild, Your tires never go flat, May your offspring shower you with bars of gold. May you strike oil in the back yard. May a mistake be made on your pension and they pay a million a year and never discover it... May your propane tanks be self filling and your waste tanks bottomless...

Thank You.
Harry & Kenna

Well due to circumstances beyond our control there are now 3 sites in B loop that we reserved that are available.

Reservations are for Wed July 16 to Monday July 21 on sites B-15 and B-14, B-13 on our sheet shows July 15-22 I will confirm this as it is different then our other reservation dates.

Sites are B-15 and B-14 which we paid reservation fees only

and B-13 which is paid in full. All sites are full hook ups.

Please contact me at 406-570-3173 or email me at vixenridge at msn dot com

Hope to see you in 2009

Cheryl

Well that was fast for one site. Site B-15 is taken. You will be seeing Deb and Charles Stillman. Have fun!!!!


Cheryl

We have had NO takers yet. I hate to let this go to the general public.

Anyone interested? Please email or PM me.

I'm going to observe the obvious: Most people don't qualify for the Handicapped site. Having said that, there are plenty of members who do. I suspect most are like me and don't haunt the cancellation thread. I just noticed this today.

My counsel is to hang on as long as you can, because it will surely go fast once you release it to the general public. At that point, someone who needs it will get it. No harm, no foul.

I'm really sorry you won't be there, and I'm sure I speak for everyone on that. It has meant a lot to me the past couple of years to be able to shake your hand and say thank you for the most well-behaved and most useful site on the web. Thanks!

Thanks for your post.

Maybe someone, who qualifies for a handicap site, would like to transfer over closer to the ‘Do’ns’ and make their site available to someone looking for a non-handicap site.

If you can help, please let me know. I would sure like to keep it in the family of FGRVers.

All Three sites are now taken.

B-15 Deb & Charles S.
B-14 Isaac M.
B-13 Cassandra F.


Hope you all have fun and that we will see you next year. If we start saving for gas now we might make it LOL

You're going to need that gold and oil with the price of gas and driving to OR!

If Cassandra F reads this... remember to sign up for the Gathering. I don't have you listed yet.

Thanks,
Nancy

Read, registered, and getting the trailer ready.

I had planned to travel to Colorado, but due to gas prices I decided it would be too expensive. Bandon is much closer. If you have another cancellation I would be very interested.

My Handicap site is still available. Do you want it?

Mike, I would like it, but I don't qualify for a handicapped site. Thanks for the offer. kathy

If anyone has to cancel a camp site for the Oregon Gathering in July, I would be interested in reserving one. Please email.
Thank You,
Susanna A

My site is available to some one Handicaped.

Arg. A family wedding has spontaneously been booked and after Cheryl's kindness in giving us her cancelled site, our family now can't go to the gathering. Cheryl, I've left you a voice message, but if you read this first, I believe Kathy Davisson is next up to get a site. Reserve America doesn't have my name listed, so maybe it wasn't transferred yet after all... if not, you can pass it on to someone else. If it HAS been transferred to my name, I'll take care of it. *sigh* Just need a reservation number.

I'm now wallowing in my misery. Sorry for the hassles. I guess I'll see some of you in Langley in the fall instead. Roast a weenie for us.

Ok one more time

Available for July 16 - July 21 site B-13.

First call to 406-570-3173 gets the site.

I am accepting payment thru paypal to make it easier for people to pay. In case you want to put your site on a credit card. There is an aditional charge of $5.00 to cover the paypal fee.

I will mail out the Reservation form as soon as I get my updated one from Reservations America. The original was misplaced and they mailed out duplicate last week so should be here soon.

Cheryl

Mike,
Thank you for the email. I don't qualify for the handicapped spot either.
Maybe in a few years.
Thanks anyway.
Susanna A

I just talked to Cheryl and we'll be using B-13 this year!

Thanks Cheryl!

Paul Williams just snagged the site. Thank you Paul and hope you have a great time.

Took Paul all of 2 minutes to call after I posted lol Maybe ill buy a block of sites next year just to have for members to buy last minute.

Hello to all,
Jim and I will not be able to attend. Our site, A9, is now up for grabs. The reservation is for arrival July 17 with a departure of Sunday, July 20. If you are interested in this site, please contact me at my email: http://www.fiberglassrv.com/board/index.ph...00&MID=7726
or call me 541.464.8883 (weekends or evening). I'll accept a check for the $72. If I don't hear back from anyone by June 8th, I'll cancel with Reserve America.

Hope to see you next year.

Linda Clary

Linda, I would like your site. I've called and sent an e-mail. No reply to date. Thanks much. Hopefully your loss will be my gain.

Still Available.

I spoke for and have been granted space A-9 from Linda Clarey. Thank you Linda.
