Hey Ron,

Getting excited, I am!

Yes, Greenhorn is really the only campground with on the water access right from your site, but there are issues. I'm working with Orchard now but dealing with the NID is kinda a pain. I have a call into Greenhorn and plan to swing back up there to look around AGAIN next week, pre-fish, bla bla, I'll let you know if you want to join me.

I'm in after 5pm...

I'm in after 5pm...

Gotch you! PM me your phone #.

I was hoping to see if there was a camping update, but has it been all worked out yet?
Just an FYI, I called an left a message for Orchard Springs, because we were thinking of staying there anyways. However, had a not-so-great experience with trying to make reservations...
After playing phone tag about five times, I call again, leave a message - he calls back a short time later, but I am driving.
He tells me which sites are open and I say, I'd love to reserve it but I need to call him back with my credit card number because I am driving.
The dude then proceeds with giving me a lecture about how he has to return 50 phone calls, and that people need to be ready with their payment info when he calls them. WTH?
I explain that I didn't know when he was going to call me back, and I can't control whether or not I am driving at the exact time he calls. Sheesh. Border line rude - I have never had such a tough time making a reservation. The guys made me feel like it was a privilege for him to call me, LOL.

In any case, thought I would share my experience. Customer service might be an issue in some ways. The map doesn't look as if they have enough sites for a group our size....so how is this going to work?

This lake is completely new to me. Are we waiting to see if we get a discounted rate, or have we not decided which campground yet?

I'm pulling the trigger Monday. Thanks everyone for being so patient.

Call now to make reservations. Tell them your part of the Freshkats Kayak Tourney to receive the discounted rate.

This is going to be fun!

Good choice Mike.  Great water access!

I called to reserve and a message said the office was only open at night, a couple times per week.  I had to leave a message so they can call me back at night.

It is the off season... reservations for our time slot. Normally this time of year it is first come first served... and yes. Only twice a week after 5 pm. Call thursday eavning Mike were they going to let us reserve specific sites for the event???

Ron,
Yes, you can have any campsite you wish. I suggest just leaving a message with your name and site your interested in, make sure to mention you're part of the Freshkats event. Or just show up on Friday and pick what you want. Most sites are on the water.

Hobie demos and tent will most likely be near the boat ramp or picnic area #3. We WILL have a REVO16 AVAILABLE. More on this later...

She called me back tonight. I am reserved! Campsite #1. I am really looking forward to my first mountain lake kayak fishing. Can't wait! See you there. 

After the fun at Berryessa yesterday I can't wait for Rollins!
