    Officially the meet is Friday-Sunday, but a few of us will be out there starting Thursday the 10th. Join us whenever you can, if only for a day trip.
    Destination is about 75 miles north, as the crow flies, of San Francisco.
    PM me for details including to make a reservation for camping. 2023 Ocean Cove Campout.jpg

    Update 5/8/2023. Filling in pretty quickly. There is somewhat limited space in the main group camp, but overflow camping available in the main camp area.
    Picture here is from last years light up on Friday night.

    Perhaps one spot, maybe two left before we max out our reservation. Any more takers? Pic for attention.

    Last bump before the event. Come on out. For the day or to camp and stay.

    I need to pre-plan next year if I go, making reservations an hour or two away so the drive isn't so much in one day and save some money in a State Park vs the private CG fee. I'd have to make reservations 6 months out as I checked a few weeks ago and nothing available.

    Yes. The ‘pandemic’ and the boost in camping has relegated any campground that accepts online reservations to a “year ahead reservation”. Come springtime, most all the sites at all the decent campgrounds are full. FCFS is always an option, but its a gamble. We have discussed that we need to book this group campsite for the following year. $900 investment up front to hold it. Ouch!

    Great turnout and lightup. They may reserve two group sites next year, but have a little earlier in the month.
    Pics on CCF.
