Hey Thom

We'll be there. Camp Hale is our favorite camping area.

The EggCamper at Camp Hale in 2010.

Sounds like a great location. I have to be in Colorado at that time for a business meeting, and might be able to make it there on Tuesday. That is, if I find another egg by then...

Hi Thom, Most likely I won't be able to come up and camp. But I might run up and visit.............. Glad to see more glass activity in Colorado!


I just spoke with Keith this last weekend and got the dates for the Fall Rally at Cherry Creek. I will get it posted this week as well.

[Thom Rowland]

Hi Robin,
Hope you can make it, for one day or longer.

Wish I could make it, but we're weekend warriors. Can't get up there midweek.

I have been looking for a link to the area which is non-dry camping, but having no success. Can anyone provide a line for info and making reservations?
Thanks,
Alice

I don't think there is any camping with hookups. This is the Camp Hale CG and it has no hookups. The CG gets you pit toilets, it appears.

From the rendezvous link:

Vault toilets are provided at Camp Hale only in the developed and group campgrounds. No potable water is available. To the south, the city of Leadville's Sanitation Department operates a dump station and potable water spigot on the south side of town at the southwest corner of Hwy 24 and McWethy Dr. [Cr-41], near the Colorado Mountain College campus. The dump fee is $5. To the north, the town of Edwards has a free dump station and potable water at its I-70 rest area.

When there's nice free space so close by, paying for a site with pit toilets would "be the pits"! At least for those of us with a trailer potti of some sort, anyway. I ended up with an un-egg, but at least it has a FG gelcoat on it, so I'm planning to sneak in on Tuesday after my business meetings are over. It would be great to see a whole panful of egg trailers at one location!

Sorry you couldn't find an egg but you don't need an egg to be welcome. Looking forward to meeting you .

[Thom Rowland]

There are about 12 trailers so far and 3 maybes for a total of 15. Should be a good time.

[Robin G]

Sounds like your gonna have a good turn out Thom.


I won't be up to camp, but my plan is to visit one day.......

[Thom Rowland]

We just learned the US Forest Service is no longer allowing dispersed (boondock) camping at Camp Hale. Therefore, we’ve reserved the Forest Service Group Site (Camp Hale, East Fork Group Site, East Loop) for the nights of Sunday, July 17th through Tuesday, July 20th. (Arrive on Sunday for the folks who want to come early. Depart on Wednesday unless some decide to stay longer and the site remains available.) The group campsite is in the southeast corner of Camp Hale’s large flat area. We’re estimating that the group site will cost each “egg” trailer in the range of $5 / night. Of course this depends on how many show up and for how many nights.

There is a vault toilet, but no running water in the group campground. So make sure you’re filled up with water before departing Leadville (from the south) or Minturn (from the north). We’ll also plan to bring a few extra gallons.

[Mike Magee]

Dadgum gummint! Oh well, can't fight city hall...

[Robin G]

Oh I think you guys are gonna have a good time anyway! Still thinking I will get up and check it out. Though Rod has been in the hospital for 2 weeks, and I need to get caught up on things. But I also need a glass fix! Since I can't get the Casita out to play, I will visit some glass........

[Thom Rowland]

6/21/11 - MINOR CHANGE:**PLEASE NOTE*
* Rick / Thom / Greg have decided they will cover the cost ($85 each) for the group but would appreciate any contributions to help defray this unexpected cost.
