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.

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. 

Same weekend as Gimme Shelter XVIII it would seem. 

Got the app installed and log in created.  Works fine! 

Any update on the final date yet?  Last I heard, May 11th but maybe May 4th.

I registered my kayak a long time ago with the DMV.  All they required was the serial number on the back.  I was doing it for the sail, but I also had a motor, so no difference.  They didn't ask me for an original sales receipt or how much I paid for it either.  Maybe rules have changed, or it was the DMV agent I got lucky with. Seems all they cared about was collecting my money.  The fee is a tax based on the personal property value and is through the county just like homeowners' property tax.  I included the title they gave me to Bulldog-Alex who now owns that kayak.  I dropped the registration with my county because I don't own it anymore, but they never asked who now does own it and I don't think they removed the title from their records, so either Alex updated the DMV or they think it's still in my name. 

My wife said The Inn is $264 a night now. The campground is $45 a night for hook-ups.  You can only list a preference for the site, but she did call me back immediately after I made my reservation on line and put us down for our site for the reservation. 

Houses are available and a good value compared to The Inn.  VRBO has many.

I'm really looking forward as well, my friend!  I got to hook up with a few of the gang at Doran/Bodega for some crabbing and now this to look forward to as well.
 
My reservation is for the 11th, but I'm sure the young lady who I spoke with would be willing to change it.  I mentioned that there may be a group of kayakers attending and she was very excited.  She said it's new owners and I got the impression they have some deep pockets, owning a few campgrounds around the west.  This lady moved out from one that the new owners owned back in Texas and is now working here taking reservations. 
I asked if there were any changes from the old owners and she said they are planning to sink some money into the place, starting in a couple weeks to refurbish the bathroom/showers. 
I can't recall her name right now, but it was very Southern/Texan, with two names, like Mary Ann or something like that.  Ha! 

I would attend, even though I can't kayak anymore.  Especially if Crash can take orders for oysters!
Too soon to preemptively reserve a campsite or hotel room?

****EDIT****
Never 'too soon', reserved site 12 at the campground.   
I think I'll bring the smoker and do a 17-pound brisket I found in the freezer for the potluck if there is going to be one.
