Hi Rick, I know you booked the weekend but what site did you get? looks like Roy and I are not to far apart

This is Rick's wife responding. We are booked on site # 4 and will be there sometime on the Friday.

[Heath G.]

Ok, so it looks like we have a good start for the weekend. 3 are confirmed.

I was looking at the map for sites available that weekend and it looks like a few are booked for fri nite the 18, so probably those people I would think won't be breaking camp till saturday morning, th 19,th anyone going durin the week have an answer on that for me?

I am also wondering how many are planning on being there during the week of the original date

[Bill K]

I will be there Mon. - Fri. Since this is my first rally and I don't know how well I will like it I am going to wait and see. If I am enjoying myself I will see if I can extend even if I have to move.

We are hoping to make it but we aren't making reservations until our passports arrive. Our grandaughter is also scheduled for a kidney transplant about that time so we have to wait and see on the date for that. Does anyone know how much the sites are and are they both hydro and water?

Let's start with best wishes for your grandaughter.

We booked for three nights and including the reservation fee it was $80. (US)
The sites have electricity but not water hook-ups. At least I didn't see any indication of water.

[Jim Bago]

We were hoping to head to the Southwest, but must delay that trip a year. We will be there from Wednesday through Sunday with Belle our very active rat terrier. Looking forward to seeing many of you again and meeting new eggers.

I stayed there a couple years ago. On some of the sites, the power pole was quite far away from the site proper. I backed way up (off the gravel pad) to get my 50' of cord to reach. I don't know if all the sites were like that but you might toss in an extra extension cord. You might not need it but....

We have site 14 in the 4-30 loop reserved from Monday to Friday. We have 15 amp power but it dosen't mention anything about water. The fee for the five days including reservation fees was $118.00.
Hope to see everyone there.

I checked my camping log and I misspoke. I stayed at Evangola SP, some miles east of Lake Erie SP. My advice, while well intentioned, was uninformed

I would still pack an extension cord because some of the poles are far away

[Heath G.]

Hi all, and glad to see we might have a few for the after rally on the weekend. look forward to seeing all of you. I was wondering of there are any pics of this campsite floating around out there and if anyone knows if they allow srap wood to be brought in from oput of state. I use old pallets I have taken nails out of. most places don't mind but there are allways exeptions.

[Roy in TO]

Heath,

There are lots of pictures on Google images, search for "lake erie state park".

I could not find a specific answer to your question on pallet wood. Here is a link to what NY has to say about firewood:
http://www.dec.ny.gov/animals/28722.html

And a link to the FAQ's:
http://www.dec.ny.gov/animals/44008.html

The latter has a toll free # and email address where you can ask this question.

As for me, I'll buy what's at the park. When we crossed the border into the USA in late July, they specifically asked about importing firewood since we had a trailer.

[Barbara Gardin]

We got our passports this week but unfortunately we are unable to attend. Our grandaughter's surgery has now been scheduled for the 15th of September and since our daughter is the donor we have double visiting to do. We will look forward to next year.

These wooden nameplates.... are they for the people or the trailer??

The rest sounds good to me.
See you there.

See you there.

They are name tags that you wear, but I guess you could hang them from your trailer!

[Ed D]

For those New Yorkers planning on bringing firewood please note that you can transport wood only within a radius of 50 miles. You will need a Self-Issued Certificate for Transport and Possession of New York-Sourced Untreated Firewood for Personal Use. Roy in TO posted a link to the DEC website where this form can be found. Just print it out and fill in the spaces. I talked to the DEC and was told you might be asked to produce this certificate at the campground. Better safe than sorry! The form is quite simple and self-explanetory. Ed D
