Any 4th of July camp experiences?
Well, since we didn't make it to a campground this year I miss all the people watching. Anyone have any experiences to share from there holiday trips?

We made the mistake of joining daughter and Son-in-law at Lake Isabella in Southern Calif. Had to run the generator 24/7, only one useable boat ramp, and people illegally camping directly on the beach, forcing you to walk through their "campsites" to access your boat!
It took two hours to launch and three hours to recover the boat!
We complained to the Camp Host, and to the Rangers about the beach squatters, but they both said that they could do nothing, as the BLM was in charge of the beach area! There are signs all over the place that say "Day Use Only", but I imagine that the beach campers couldn't read them!
I had two beach campers asking if they could use our bathroom, as they were pregnant and couldn't walk the extra 100' to the potty! They had plenty of cars or trucks to drive up there! Luckily, my wife was in there when they asked!
Oh, and the weather people lied! They said that nighttime temps up there would be in the high sixties, and it never got below 85! During the day 103-105! Had to go buy ga$ and add it to the Moho to be sure I made it thru Saturday nite.
Hardly used the boat at all, due to all the water toys buzzing around. Too hot to fish, and hard to navigate thru all the buzzers!
