@pineywoods - Keith would be the right person to ask about the RV sites.

@Discus39 I might look into a camper for next year, especially if i'm bringing Brad!
Sounds like the first of December is most popular, let's do it! The booking site only allows you to book 11 months in advance so next year, the first weekend would be 12/1-12/3 of 2023. So we can start booking...
