Hey everyone.. just thought I would put this out there, even though we havent gotten through Christmas yet! I called Fontana today and they do have campsites!!! Nothing else available but I did reserve a site at the dam!
So... a few options Im throwing out there..
1.) If you choose to camp-- you can throw a tent down on our site
2.) I can call and reserve a few more campsites, just in case anyone wants them.
3.) You can call and reserve your own site. With full hook up they are $35.00 a night. We plan on staying Wed- Sun.. leaving Monday morning!!

 

Would love to do it this way, but I can't figure out how to get my camper up there [pulled by the F250] and my MINI up there at the same time??? My MINI can't pull my camper :(

 

Thanks for the info, it's my plan to camp as well. What campground did you make your reservstion at?

 

do they have showers there?

 

Located at the base of Fontana Dam, the Fontana Campground has water and electric hook ups, a bath house, picnic tables and a wonderful view of the river and Fontana Dam. An RV dump station is located 1 mile from the campground. The campground is always cool in the summer due to the cool water coming out of the dam.

John-- you are more then welcome, as is whoever lets me know, to camp at our site. She said there are plenty sites available... 35 for a camper, 25 for a tentsite.. We got the camper site, with hook up so we can plug things in.. very important things.. IE: COFFEE POT!

I did put this on the national forum as well. It's possible we can make this a cool side event of the Dragon.. Camping on the Dragon.. I also added that we could do coffee or breakfast as a group pot luck kinda thing.. before everyone heads out to motor on the day. We plan on being up there for Wed afternoon/evening.

 

See you there!

Looking forward to our first 'MOTD' as well as our first "Camping on the Dragon" !

 

Got room for another tent?

 

Thanks for the proposal. Sign me up; one person in a single small tent. Wed - Sat night.

Think I should call and book another few sites?

 

All m2c2 members we will have 3 or 4 campsites. Just let lilruffcat know you want one and we will hold it for you.

 

So, I will book extra sites tomorrow!.. please let me know who needs what .. it will be nice to all be together, and have luke deliver us hot coffee and tea .. and wake us up in the morning ..

Still working on the extra campgrounds.. should know in a day or two!

 

I'm certainly interested in camping but with a date so far off I can't commit due to work. Our 08 schedule isn't out yet.

I drive a little car. really, it wouln't take up much room.

I was at the campground for this past MOTD, and it was great

Got to meet some great folks like Jim Ray and his wife (who are unfortunately now selling their beautiful GP0019) and Brent (of MiniDoMore).

Several of us took hot-plates, and YelloMiniS would have breakfast and coffee going each morning at our site. It became a great social gathering in the morning and early evening.
We had about 3 tents at the one RV site, and we probably could've put another one in there. There is a ton of room down there for lots of tents.

If I go to MOTD, I will certainly go the camping route again -- this is just too far in advance with my job for me to plan anything -- but i highly recommend it to others.

 

can i put in a tenative hold me a tent spot request?

 

you betcha!

 

sweet. thanks.
