Fall Camp Ideas

You know since camp is all fresh in our minds. I think we should all kind of list things that we liked about camp and things that we need to improve on for the next Fall Camp.

One thing I liked was the dinner tent. I think we need to continue getting one.

Something we need to improve on is we needed more fish batter. LOL I heard they had run out and I had to take the poor guys some Uncle Bucks from our RV. I am sorry guys about doing that to you be PW58 got it on sale. I am happy with just corn meal myself.

Maybe we can get Bugman to put a sticky on this thread and move it where everyone can post their ideas.

Ditto on the tent, that was an excellent idea as was your idea Dan on the ice trailer. That being said, I think everything flows just fine.

If we have it at Frankie & Louies like we did last fall we won't need the tent theres a big pavilion there free for the taking,a port-a-potty is about the only thing i could see us needing there.Is everyone ok with going back there the first weekend of october?i guess the sooner we get dates set the easier it will be for some folks.

I loved Frankie & Louie's. The only problem I can see is a lack of room. Guess it depends on how large of a group would be coming. The shelter was nice to have.

I agree with bill the attendance will determine if there is one needed.

The name is BOB and that's not what I meant at all. We were camping in a very small area in the campground last Fall. If we have a larger crowd, they may not have room for us all. Most of their campsites are permanently occupied with RVs.

It was a neat place. But would be nice if they had a place for us to have some more tents. The pavilion area was very nice. Jamie is correct that a port a potty would also be nice.

Think the first weekend in October would be fine. Some sun would also be nice.

I'll check with them and see if they can make more room for us but if not theres other hotels and cabins within a few miles of there.The only other place i can think of to handle us is pb1 and the campground folks there are a pain in the azz plus the fishin up there has taken a turn for the worse over the past few years we are in the prime area on loz for fall fishin if we can't find another campground on the water in that area i'd suggest we fill up f&l and overflow can get a room close by.

Not sure where on the lake the bear bottom resort is located compared to the good fishing but it looked like a cool place. Tent camping for like $6 a night and some good deals on 2 man up to 10 people cabins.

Bear bottom is on the 38mm of the osage we were on the 10mm last fall but it wouldn't be to far to trailer to f&l but we would have to pay ramp fees,we have plenty of time i'll get down there and figure it all out.

No ramp fees was nice. I know some of the ramps are not cheap and for the guys who like to go in the morning and then back out in the afternoon it could get expensive. Is there anything up in the Gravois arm? Or closer to the ramp in the back of that creek? Would like to fish that arm but was to windy to run up there last year. At least in my boat.

The only thing I can think of is there is an old camp grounds of America on 5 HWY in between Laurie and Versailles. They have cabins and camping but it has been kind of quiet there last year dont know if its open.:confused: There is a ramp right down by the 5HWY bridge. I think Bear bottom has a ramp maybe they wouldn't charge us since we brought so much buisness ?????

1st weekend in Oct. is the American Royal BBQ Contest, I'll be there.
2nd weekend in Oct. is our annual apple butter cook, we cook 30 gallons and it takes 2 days, I'll be there.
And I don't know if I could take two crappie camps in one year. :rolleyes::D

what happened to the post on voting on where and when fall camp is , I missed last years fall camp, and would like to make this years fall camp. anybody
05-27-2010, 12:02 PM

If you want a poll then start one,the past few years it has been truman spring loz fall because of the central location of both lakes.Everyone can have their say and choice thats fine by me but i will be camping on loz the first week of oct and anyone that wants to join me thats great and for those that don't then have fun and i'll see you next spring on truman..........unless thats up for a vote as well,if it is guess i'll see you wherever.

gettin a little confused here, didn't ask about a poll, asked where and when camp was, whats your problem, seemes like we always vote on where and when, I know it's not always been a Louies, do not see any reason to get all in a tizzy and treat me like I did something contrary to the norm. I was not suggesting we move camp, but since your so set on LOZ in the fall, have fun

Don't have a problem not in a tizzy just tryin to do what everyone i talked to at truman wanted to do and that was to have fall camp on loz,also would like to keep the confusion of a camp this size to a minium......all i'm saying is that i will be there and if you have trouble with coming to loz this fall then have a camp somewhere else of your choosing,good luck have fun and i hate it you'll miss loz camp 2 years running.

Hey Bugman, can we trade tent partners? Maybe Monk doesn't snore as loud as PW!

Hey serious I would like to see somewhere that has power and water hookups. I have been up here since May 5th and there is no water hookup or sewer hookup! Can you believe they are paying $40.00 per week for someone to come and dump my tanks! Plus they are paying me to purchase bottled water to fill the RV water tank!
