Any changes at the camp ground?

New owners - Jack finally sold.  They're cool and very business-like.  I expect that reservations and delivery will be reliable and straight forward.  There will not be any kind of pay per person, like Jack would do.  It's strictly a campground transaction.

As for the potluck and awards, plus raffle, I have rented the pavilion and patio, so we are set for that - including Jack's Taco Shack!

This thread certainly hasn't lived the life of past GS threads, but I hope that those who are following are as stoked as I am for what we're putting together for the weekend of May 11th.   :smt001

Do you have the camp ground reservation contact number?  Thanks  Eric.

Make reservation here Sonny. They will call back to confirm. They will assign the campsite. I have not tried but maybe you can request for a specific site. It’s good that they don’t charge by person like how Jack used to do it. I’m paying $95 for 4 people from Thurs-Sun

Thanks for the info Allan.  Tried to call but no one answer so will try again later.  Checked out their website to find out about the camp sites so maybe our group can stay close.   I think it used to be first come first serve under old management.

When I made my reservation, I made a note as to my 3 preferences.  They called back to let me know I got my 1st choice.  It's not noted on the e-mailed reservation confirmation though. The e-mail does say to expect an e-mail containing self-check in details about a week before arrival.

https://resnexus.com/resnexus/reservations/book/C795864E-FC4F-43E8-BEBC-2068CE9F9B82/?NewSearch=1

Once you've chosen the dates, click on the "Check Detailed Availability" tab under the calendar.  A list of every site with either a green check mark, or a red X will let you know what is and isn't available. 

I noticed that the rates increased since I made my reservation back on March 1st.  RV site w/hook-ups was $45 a night, now it's $51.67 a night.  There's a $5 per night charge for a pet.

Tent sites actually got cheaper now, I got a spot across the fence near greg's normal spot.

(the fence line is cool but a family of skunks patrols that area, and its lighted up by the restaurant next door)

STOKED!!! I think I'll get in and set up camp early Friday and try to get a sesh out there that day. Really need to organize my gear now cutting it close, but my kayak and electronics are shipshape!

I am booked at site 96 on the skunk trail and next to the restaurant. Maybe I need to change sites. Where are the good sites?

Good evening I was wondering does anybody know the coordinates to Jurassic Park at Shelter Cove? A friend is bringing up a boat

No coordinates, but I know it's about 20 miles north of the launch and it has to be a really flat day with light wind to pull it off.  You'll find high quality nearer the Cove.

I'm taking a few people out Friday, 730AM to 11ish.  One slot still open - max 4 guys.

Please send a message if you're interested.  It's a refresher and check-up on the current conditions and bite.

EDIT:  Slot filled.

Forecasts coming in look very good, with typical north winds but lighter into midday and early afternoon than many recent days.

Someone's going to catch a Pacific...   :smt007

If you can get a site near a tree its a plus. Shade and potential wind break. Keep your cooler and bait sealed up or you may find an unwelcome visitor nosing in your stuff.

I left my soft sided bait cooler unzipper a few years back overnight. Woke up in the middle of the night and needed to pee, but when I unzipped the tent door I was looking down the barrel of the business end of a skunk balls deep in the frozen anchovies. Sucker took his time too  :smt044
