Whats the deal with the campground up on the main lake, not the State park. Think we may be camping for the Sardis FJ but not sure. We checked on the cabins and those suckers are 80 bucks a night , OUCH

Don, We've Been Camping At The Oak Grove Camp Ground Below The Dam For Several Years Now. Nice Campsites With Electric And Water Plus Nice Shower Houses And Restrooms.
but I was curious about on the lake itself. That way we can just park the boat on the bank so we don;t have to keep loading and unloading it. We'll get the Friday at the crack of dawn and stay through Sunday noonish
If you go prefishing on Friday how are you going to recharge your batteries if you leave the boat on the bank? Group 27's would be a pain to carry back to camp.
DD, I am going to stay at campground below the dam.
DD me and ole Speck had several tent campers around us Saturday night when we camped at Sardis below the dam. A couple of tents even had air conditioners hooked up.
and they keep it fairly cool. Just haven't broke down and bought an AC unit YET but it's in the works. Yikes, don;t have to worry bout recharging anything, pulling cranks with the big motor but IF we need to recharge, I got 400 foot od orange extension cord that'll get it to the boat
Found a 8000 BTU for 289 bucks
We just used the fans before, but in the heat of the summer the ac would be nice. Then I could camp out and fish more.
chest high waders these days and some Snorkle gear
I read that the Oak Grove Campground is first come first serve..... does anyone think we will have trouble getting a spot? I am guessing no since they show they have 82 sites but you never know. Any idea if there is a swimming beach at this campground?
We camped last year below the dam for the fruit jar tourney & campout but I have no idea what campground that was. There are 5 different ones right there below the dam. I know you can reserve sites at John Kyle state park but we would want to camp close to everyone else.
Can't help there, we have only stayed at John Kyle.
Nessa, there are plenty of spaces available on non-holiday weekends at Oak Grove. Most people on here don't stay at John Kyle because of the crowds. There must be a swim beach nearby because I saw several folks walk past our site in dry bathing suits one way and wet suits when they returned. It looked like a pretty good walk though. Perhaps you should just layout at our site and cut out all the walking.:D
I like the country song about WATER.
I think Brad Paisley sings the one I am talking about. White Tshirt fixing to be drenched in water.
We swim nekid
member it; Guess thats a good thing LOL
but having to THINK today and my brain ain't used to it. Been going through the new subdivision Ordinances trying to figger out a way to save a client a couple hundred grand
Ordinances/specifications etc. can tie you brain in a knot for sure.
DD, I have one of those fans that run water over and then blow cold air out.
that doesn't require a 220 outlet.We love taking the tent out and camping but when it gets that hot, it's tough on an old fella
This thing is BIG but runs on 110.
It'll darn sure pay for itself in just a few trips with the difference in a camping spot vs a hotel room. You been fishing every day like you thought you were gonna be able to?
NO have been busy with honey doo's and work. You know there is a motel6 or a super 8 on he interstate at Sardis.
We like camping close to the lake though.
Don I am going to use my window unit, from my teardrop, in a tent this weekend at Sardis so I will let you know how it works. You and get one for about 100 bucks.
