Alright cowboys and cowgirls the plans for the 8th annual South Lake Tahoe apostafest are in place ! It was a good thing I reserved a couple campgrounds 6 months early this year as they are going fast ! Apparently the Lake Tahoe side of the road campgrounds Badgers den are closed this year by the forest service - so people are only getting campgrounds at the Eagles Nest site on the side WE usually camp at.
That being said here are the campgrounds I have reserved Camp # 589 & Camp # 590 . As of this afternoon Camps # 591, # 592, #593 , #581 , # 582 are still available. All these camps are really close to the ones I reserved at # 589 and #590. Camp Richardson requires a $ 35.00 deposit to reserve each camp spot for the two nights July 10th & 11th so I figured I'd reserve 2 spots one for Mr. & Mrs. Jones and family and Mrs. Flipper and myself and 4 others who would want to camp at our camp. I highly suggest that any who want camp to reserve the campgrounds I mentioned that are available do so immediately or in the next several days or all these 5 available campground spots might get taken. The website to reserve campgrounds is : www.camprichardson.com. And any who may like to reserve hotels or motel rooms can check out : www.southlaketahoemotels&hotels.com.
It should be lots of fun as there are usually a lot less people the weekend after the 4th of July. It just so happens that this year the campgrounds got reserved earlier than usual due to the closure of Badgers den campgrounds on the Lake Tahoe side of Hwy. 89. However don't let that discourage you. There will be plenty of hotel and motel rooms available which are within 10 to 15 minutes driving time from the campgrounds.
We usually get there in the afternoon Friday and set up camp and everybody brings their own food for dinner . Some of us go to the local supermarket and we chip in on food dividing up the cost between each other and whoever is buying food that night. Lots of fun times to be had ! We eat, drink, and will be merry to our hearts content . Feel free to bring whatever brings you comfort and enjoyment ! If anybody has any questions please feel free to PM me on the board here and I'll be happy to answer your requests. Take care and a big PEACE OUT to you all ! Hope you can come join the fun ! We had about 35 to 40 last year ! Should be a great one again this year ! Sincerely, Mr. Flipper
