Here are the actual dates for the camp, Mark your calender!
I talked to the the park ranger and he said that May 18th through the 24th would be fine to make reservations by phone or internet. The 25th on it's first come first serve basis.
Please give me feed back! I apologize for all this confusion, but I believe this will benifit us all!
Again the actual dates will be Friday May 18th through Thursday May 24th.
I hope all can make it!
Jason, I will be able to attend the better part of every single evening it looks like, might miss one or two evenings depends on wether or not I can get off from my part time job on the 18th, 19th, and 24th...we'll have to see when it gets closer to that date...being that I will have to work every day and won't get to meet up until about 5:30 p.m. each evening, I will probably just drive out and leave each night to come back to my house for work the next day. I would be willing to bet that StinkiesDaddy will not be able to make as many of the dates as I will be able to b/c of his kid, but I am going to get with him this week and find out what all we can do...what is the phone # for reservations, and you mentioned the website to make reservations, what's the web address? Thanks man...we'll make the best of it! (FYI to all others previously I agreed to make reservations for you and let you pay the difference upon arrival, if I am not camping I can still do this for you, but you need to let me know for what nights and how many tents, how many people, etc. Thanks....MM
The web site for reservations is:
http://www.recreation.gov/campground...&parkCode=hor1
The phone # is: 479-925-2561
The name of the park is Horseshoe bend West.
Stinkies Daddy and Uncle Bunny both will have a hard time with these dates, but we will try to work some thing out. I may have a wedding to attend on the 19th ( why the heck people can't plan their stuff when it aint my fishin time I'll never understand) if I cant canp I'll show up some time w/ mm for sure.
Stink
Jason,
If the dates are gonna remain the same from now on I think me and uncle bunny are in. At least for a few days.
Stink.
Absolutly no change now, I promice! The park is aware of it and it is on!
minnow man what would be some of the better sites to camp and have the boat in the water at the camp site or is there a location that we will be in for the camp. I'm not famillar with the camp grounds so any advice would be helpfull. Do you still plan on doing a night stalk during camp if so I would still like to do it with you

(we will divide cost between how many per night, etc.) It should be fairly easy to reserve sites this weekend, as it stand right now I have campsites 102 & 103 reserved for May 18th, and May 19th.....(here is a link to the rules/regulations/fees/etc.)

Minnowman thanks for the info but I just got a wrench thrown in to my plans. I have family coming in the 18 and leaving on the 21st so I wont get to camp till the 22nd and miss all the fun. I still plan on camping Tues, wed thursday so if you get a chance stop by would like to meet you. Ill post my sites I get later after I get them.
RICK
Minnowman I just booked sit 102 for tues-thurs
10/4, thanks for the heads up, looks like I have some recruiting to do if I am going to fill up both of the campsites that I have reserved....are good-looking blondes that LOVE to fish welcome to this camp as well? (I know plenty!) :DQuote:

However, he has been catching some good messes of crappie & Kentuckies this spring, he will be back next year starting law school & his younger brother will be starting college there as a freshman, so hopefully we can make a trip with you. Thanks.
Does anybody have room for a tent or do I need to try to get a site?
Will be driving up on Friday and staying thru Sunday.
We got you covered buddy! Look forward to meeting you -- StinkiesDaddy and myself will be paying for two sites for that Friday and Saturday night, departure time is 3 p.m. on Sunday so depending on how many come, we are going to split the cost between that many people, could end up being REAL cheap....I would say it should turn out to be no more then 6-8 bucks per night, not 100% sure at this time. Where you driving from? MMQuote:

We will come up 69 to 40 and across to AR.
Is anyone planning to stay during the week. I can't make the weekend but I'm coming down the 22-24 to camp and fish

Have to work that week. Some of us aren't retired!:D
I will be out there in the evenings after I get off at 5 p.m. -- but I more then likely will not be camping out there (I live 15 minutes from the campground so it would be better to just drive in and out for me)....I'll give you a better gauge once it's a little closer, thanks. MMQuote:

Then just head North on Interstate 540 and you are basically there....come through fayetteville, springdale, lowell, and then you exit in rogers....easiest way is to just exit on new hope road, there is a BRAND new mall there, with all kinds of big buildings going up and road construction....that's the "Pinnacle Hills Exit", I'll get the exit # and let you know, it's close to 81 or 82, not for sure though, I go by names......look forward to meeting you.....MMQuote:

It's exit 83 off of 540.
We have had something come up that is going to prevent us from coming. Wish we could but family comes first. Will try to come next time.
I probably won't be able to coordinate camp as well as the Hot Springs event, so my thinking for this camp will be similar but without any activities. I would like it to be about fun and fellowship formost. I am thinking nightstalking will be a favorite event. I will make myself available to point people in the right direction for daytime fishing as well. I will be able to night fish the Saturday and Sunday nights as well as a few week nights also.
I'm looking forward to meeting all you fine people and everyone else also!!
I can be reached at 479-640-3980 if you have any questions.
See you there!
