To better serve you, it is important that you notify all members as to your group's departure time and that they be ready to load at least 15 minutes before departure.  Your campsite will be marked with the last name of the group leader.  Only the group leaders need to check in upon arrival.  Those arriving after 10:00 p.m. should proceed to the campground, then the next morning check in at our office,  located just opposite the bath house.  Balance of payment must be made at the office at least 30 minutes prior to departure time.
