Nice,I may hold you to that one.

[DENNIS ARCHER]

Special guest this year will be Chrsitoipher Neve, owner of Parkliner Trailers in Gibsonville, NC. He will be bringing a display model and will be on hand to demonstrate all the bells and whistles available on this new line of fiberglass trailer. The reservation window is now open for making reservations for this year's rally. See you there.

[Ken C]

What day (or days) will parkliner be there?

[Nancy]

We got there early on Wednesday last year and got one of the non reservable sites. By Thursday things were pretty filled up. If you go without a reservation beware.

Christopher Neve is the Chief Operations Officer of Parkliner Trailers. He is not the owner as I stated in an earlier post. My mistake. He will be available on Fri & Sat Oct 5 & 6, 2012 at the LBL Rally. I apologize for any confusion caused by my earlier post. Dennis.

[J&T Jones]

We will be in Black Oak #2 site 50.

Hoby
I went to try to reserve a site but they are all gone in that loop and more than half seem saved for walk-ins?
Seems excessive to me?

Anyway can you tell me where would be the next preferred spots to be close to the group if not right in that loop?
At least I need to be near Freddie for sure!

Black Oak 3 has site 80 & 81 open and Black Oak 2 has 93 & 1 open as of 9:19 AM 05/27/12......also half the sites in Black Oak 1 as well as 2 & 3 are non reserveable which means first come first serve..if you have a reservation on any of the sites and a non reserveable is available you can switch without charge....I think there will be sites open in the main area if you get there earlier in the week

Called this morning 7/31/2011, no reservable sites, asked about reserving a site at another area and then changing to a walk-in when I get there, A 10.00 dollar fee, still trying to get that waved, seems like a rip-off, walk-ins are needed but this area has a lot. Have to call later and talk to a another type of clerk
Traveling from, East of Knoxville and taking a chance for a site, well I would feel better if I had a spot secured, I even tried for arriving on Wed night and no luck

[DENNIS ARCHER]

Camped at Piney CG this past weekend. Confirmed with the check-in personnel at the main gate that they DO NOT charge a fee to change your site one time when you check-in. For questions concerning Piney CG it is best to contact the Piney Gate House directly 931-232-5331. We had several people change sites last year and there was no charge. Also they have just completed a new bathroom with showers in the Black Oak Loop. The showers are made like individual rooms with a large dressing area and the door locks for privacy. Hope this information helps.

[Darral]

Getting close! Not sure what site we'll settle in yet but I hope to see you guys Friday morning!

[Ed Harris]

I cancelled my site #13 if anyone wants it?

Also they took more than 1/3 of my money to do it,I will not be camping at LBL in the future probably!

Have Fun!

[Radar1]

Sorry you won't be there Ed.
If anyone still needs a site there are 3 available for reservations as I look at the map right now, 1 in Black Oak 2 (13 shows as non reserve-able though) and 2 in Black Oak 3 area for Oct 4 for 3 nights.
Strange, but it shows mine as a walk-in site now, although it was reserve-able 6 months ago when I reserved it.

[Radar1]

Just moved a little closer, from 91 to 72. 91 may not show up as available today on the website, but if you call directly you may be able to reserve it on the phone. 800-525-7077, then press 2, then press 2 again.

[Ed Harris]

Thanks John,I will miss being there too!
As for the park,what a strange reservation system they have in every way?
