We are thinking about that week for a couple days since that is when we both have our vacations.... like the Sunday - Tuesday before Thanksgiving.... but nobody knows us so I'm not sure how this works?

We are looking for a spot that is family friendly since we have small children.  Also a place that isn't to cold and windy in late November.

Thanks :)

Very cool!  I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone!!!

I guess my next questions would be how the group meet up works.... are we all on the same spot... how do we pay for our protion... is everyone family responsible for their own meals etc :)

Thanks!

All depends on the Rally and the CG...

For this rally, thanksgiving, a block of ten sites was reserved ahead of time.  You simple need to post that you want to attend, or PM the "wagonmaster" for the rally to put you as going.  Then when the time comes for money you will send it to the "wagonmaster" to pay for your spot.

Some of the rallies (self service), are different, people will post that they got a site at campground Cactus cooler, site #D1, and if you want to go you call the campground and reserve a site close to the other sites.

IF you want to go to the thanksgiving rally, last post said there was one spot left..  email quick!! ha ha

Got it ;)  But if we wanted to arrive Friday morning would that be okay too?  Of course we would still know we pay the same fee.... but just choose to get there late...... would that be okay?

Yes you can arrive Friday am but would have to pay for Thurs..

normanlly most rallies are Fri-Sun but they require a 3 day min for the Tday holiday

I should know this weekend whether we'll be coming.  Kristi is in favor, my mom has suggested the Death Valley area (Shoshone) .  My brother is all for renting houseboats on the delta.

DH and I decided to take a road trip to Newport Dunes this morning......... when I asked him about it he said he remembered it and he said it was really nice........................... boy was he right!  It was super awesome!!! :D

The whole site is really well maintained and very resort looking.... so its not just a website or brochure making it look better then it is.  It's all true!

The spots all have fencing between them so thats pretty cool if you have little ones like we do ;)  It was Class A madness though... so I don't know if its always like that or just cause its labor day weekend???  

There was a section... I think prolly where we will be inthe 2,000's that was more "middle class"..... I think we (our family) fits in better there with those dudes! hahahaha!

The only downfall is the spots are super stacked on top of each other.  I'm totally fine with it just means you have to love your neighbors!! hahaha!

Anyway I'm super excited about this place and just had to share what I saw :)

the nice part is too they do heat the pool in the winter and they still have crafts and activites scheduled for the kids

We will be there for Easter too...Boothebunch is the wagonmaster for this one and she is already taking sign ups....this is great fun for the kids check out our last years rally thread for all the happenings..

Are there going to be site # assignments prior to arriving or do you just take an open spot in the reserved sections by who comes first?

I've seen for some of the other trips where people pick their spots when they sign up.

Just wondering because I'd like to try and map out what spot we would be in if we do this ;)

Thanks :)
