    Question Question about camping at Corps Lakes?


    So, I was reading the thread "G" started about his new camper. Someone asked him where he was going to park it. Park it? How does this work? How long can you "park" a camper at one of the campgrounds. Seems like I have heard that people park them there in the spring and don't move them till the fall. Is that right?

    I know that I see campers in the campgrounds at Grenada that seem to stay in their location all summer, and they are generally unoccupied through the week.

    One of you guys enlighten a brother about how this game is played. I think I would like to get in the game, but I want to know the rules first!!!

    Those folks you see that seem to be there permanently skirt the rules by reserving the same spot in different names. Under normal circumstances there is a limit of initial days that sometimes varies from lake to lake 14 days may be right at Nader, not sure. After that you can apply for a ten day extension. Days are counted in a 30 day period if you're on a reserved site. Once "legal" days are used there is a waiting period before you can come back.

    14 days then get extension for another 14 day (to stay on same site ) then you must leave campground. 40% of campgrounds can be reserved online . The reserved ones can be tricky since the reservation system may book the site you just got on . Better to get on the first come non reservable sites or reserve on line several days in advance .

    never get on a reseravable site if you plan to stay more than three days without a reservation . . The sites will be posted as when someone is coming . You can call once you are on it but it's a crap shoot . Someone may beat you by a minute . lol

    Some of those campers are camp host, they never leave. They may live close and only at the campsite on weekends.
    A person working for the COE can get a pass to camp as long as they are working without a problem.

    On Enid in Wallace Creek, you can reserve a pad for 14 days then you have to move. You can get on a walk on and stay 14 days, then ask for an extension for 14 more days. After the second 14 days you have to move. Across the lake in Persimmon Hill, after the 30 days, you have to leave that camp ground. In Wallace Creek you can stay by moving from pad to pad. (?)
    Tell'em I'll be there.

    So... In response to Stormcloud... It sounds like each lake has their own rules, and some campgrounds on the same lake are different... COE vs State I suppose?
