DW and I went into Grand Haven State Park CG (on Lake Michigan) close to our home tonight to meet with some RV friends who are there and we strolled around the CG. The entire CG is packed full and it's not even Memorial weekend yet and kids are still in school. Not one site open! Talked to a ranger driving by and he said the CG had filled up totally on Wednesday. He said there were only a handful of open sites dates even left for the entire summer. All 174 sites are reserveable and if you snoozed, you losed!

It's always packed full by Memorial weekend and all summer long as kids are finally out of school and full most all of September too but mainly with retirees during the week and families on weekends. Seems like an early start this year!

We will be going to Lake-Le-Aqua-Na state park in Lena IL. We usually don't go Memorial day weekend but having a new fiver want to get out and use it a lot this 1st year to try to work out the bugs. This campground is usually not full even on holiday weekends. Nice roomy sites.

Are we the only ones going to a Memorial Day service? Our favorite is to drive up to the smokemont campground just north of Cherokee NC in the Great Smoky Mt Nat Park for the weekend.On Memorial Day we attend the Services in Cherokee.Many people do not realize how many Native Americans have sacrificed all in defense of our country.Everyone have a safe holiday.

Not camping next weekend (Memorial Day), BUT we are camping THIS weekend. Just got our site at one of our favorite state parks - Hammonassette State Park.

Also decided to get absolutely crazy and pay the extra for water and electric hookups! Whooho! The hookup sites are limited, so it is kinda a big deal for us (lol!). Actually, the Kite Festival which was supposed to be tomorrow has been cancelled due to construction at the park - which is why there are openings at the hookup sites.

This should be interesting, as this has got to be the least prepared we have ever been for camping, lol!

As for Memorial Day weekend, I just found out that we may be going up to a friend's cabin in Vermont for the weekend. Pretty close to "camping", as it is basically a hunting cabin that is off grid. Very much looking forward to that also.

Hammo! What section are they doing construction in this year? Area One or one of the "Indians"?

Hehehe I hear you on the limited hookups. Last year we lucked into a last minute cancellation that included electric hook up which we didn't need (still tenting) and were able to help an RVer dry out their brand spanking new to anyone Fuzion w/ deck (everyone kept driving by slowly to scope it out) AND a leaking roof:o. Felt so bad for them.

We're not camping, but we'll be in Wildwood, NJ for Memorial day

We full time so we are always 'home' but we have to park it somewhere. This year, it will be at Charlestown Breachway in Rhode Island. I waited until yesterday to book so I kinda had to take what I could get but it is on the beach...

Walked through it last year and it's a great boondocking spot:).

Good to know! It looks squishy (tight spaces) but it is right on the beach so I can't complain much.

Hope to go to Lawrenceburg, In. and watch the World Of Outlaw Sprint Cars race. Will be dry camping in the parking lot for a couple of nights but that is fine with us. Love our racing.

BarneyS,

Sounds like you are near West River Rd area. We'd camped, trail motor biked, snowmobiled, canoed, and even horse backed the area several times around the Brown Bridge Dam, Scheck's Place, Forks, and Ranch Rudolf area and got to know it quite well. Very nice large forested fun area. Of course, that was when we were younger and the joints worked better! Fond memories...

Yep, we are right in that area just off Supply road. Paradise!:)
