They seem more organized than before. It is $20/site/night. Teaming up with another bus makes it cheaper, so you might want to grab a buddy. Reservations are highly recommended.

Comment by Big Blue's Driver on October 29, 2012 at 3:45pm: Sounds like everyone had a great time. Sorry to bail out at the end. The guys who have been in this group awhile know that it has happened to us frequently. Our 2-year-old is having a more devastating effect on our camping attempts than we ever imagined. SOOOO glad everyone had fun. And it sounds like we'll do it again next year? Awesome.

Comment by regis101 on December 2, 2012 at 8:22pm: Question about this event. So how was the CG? It was supposed to be spruced up a bit. Did they extend the site around the back side of the pond or just up near the reastrooms.
