Event Description
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS RESERVATIONS FOR THIS EVENT.
Let me explain that further - the campground is closed to the general public until Memorial Day. But Ranger Chris opens the campground Friday morning JUST FOR US. It's secret! It's special. Don't ruin it. If you call, the answering message will say it's not open until memorial day. If you show up the Wednesday or Thursday before, they will not be open. Please do not call the campground or show up before Friday. We've been doing this for 6 years!!!! Trust us. The campground will be open on Friday. There will be space for you. Thanks!
Simply RSVP here so we have an idea on how many might show up and then show up! No worries!
For those of you who have been, you know why you come back.

We will be announcing the winner of the Schoolhouse Canyon Park / VW Camper Family "Adventurer Award". The award will be awarded to the bus that drives the most miles between Bus City 7 and Bus City 8. Buses must be present at the campout in 2016 (and had to be at 2015) to win!
Also Schoolhouse owns 30 acres across the street and a private beach just for the campground. It's just a five minute walk down the river trail. So bring your swim suits!

Craig & Barbara,
Yes, the entry sneaks up on you and it is tight. Don't worry, I'm sure the gates will be open, they know we're coming! Last year was my first time at this event and there is ample room in the campground, and enough space to park and check in once you go through the gate. Go hang out down by the river on vacation beach just past downtown Guernville, there's plenty of free parking there.

If not, I guess we will all have to get walkie talkies! LOL

I didn't see my friends RSVP, so I figured I would let you know that I have between 4-6 buses coming.

How do we go about sharing a campsite?
Do we figure this out at the entry gate ?
We assume they will want cash payment at the gate...

A question I also have.

This is what I would follow as "rule of thumb", VW Fam veterans, please feel free agree/disagree or offer edits.
1. First come first served...
2. Double ups, triple ups, Quad ups encouraged
3. Don't "reserve/hold" designated sites for people coming later than an hour or two after you arrive. (Please see #2)
4. There is plenty of room in this campground for everyone, don't worry (Please see #6)
5. Expect other cool VW people to be in close vicinity (Please see #2)
6. You MUST leave all worries at the gate
7. You MUST be ready for a fun filled weekend on the river
8. You should offer Jamez beer
Comments welcome.
