Wondering why I never receive any notifications from this forum. I even see where Doug tagged me and no notifications. Let's see if this post will get me included in the conversation/notifications. Looking forward to seeing everyone

Im seeing that emails were sent to you and are showing delivered to your email. Let me know if you did not get them.

Doug dougmays I see site 30 is reserved and assuming that is Darcy and Bill we I booked site 11 tonight.

I'm still on the fence since my big year-end work convention is around the same time,
With no ideas on cancellation fees, I'm not crazy on dropping plastic in case I have to back out.
If we come I will need a spot for my 25' toy hauler. Will stand by for clarification.

I booked Thursday thru Sunday
Total cost was $86
Cancel fee is $32

Don't all parks state that ? I've not encountered any problems all the times we've been there... But then again I drink responsibly too...

Just reacted when I tried to reserve. they also usually say you can't have a cordless hole puncher, but I never leave home without it. Plus we got really big igloo cups to put our "lemonade" in.

Hey all!
Glad to see people are booking! I've been asked by pretty much everyone about the "no alchohol" rule, i think keith is right...it's just a cover your ass rule (i hope). I have another group i have done a yearly camping trip in Goethe Forest for 14 years and they state no booze...but we did/do. I'm hoping that's not an issue but as stated before....solo cups, insulated cups and IV's are probably the best bet ;)

For a recap:
Dates: 12/12-12/14 (some people stay shorter and longer, up to you)
Location: Hardee Lakes Park (https://www.hardeecountyfl.gov/departments-services/parks-recreation/hardee-lakes/)
Sites: We are looking to book are in the range of 10-15 & 26-30 (if you'd like to camp somewhere more private that is certainly ok)
Gathering Site: In the past at HH we (keith) booked a site for our tables, tents and all that. The plan right now is to put the "gathering site" in between the RV spots in those to above mentioned locations.

HH also had a nice dish washing station, I do not know what Hardee offers but i think we'll be ok with RV Kitchens and Water connections.

Glad things are coming together! Obviously, this year is a little different but we are still going to have a great time! I missed last year and REALLY looking forward to this year! I'll update Post #1 with the site reservations now.

Please post any questions, comments, recommendations :)
