How does camping work? Tent camping is what I was thinking Friday night.

brivard · June 11, 2018, 10:42:32 PM

We have free primitive camping in a special event camping area right on-site.First come first serve and it opens Friday at 1:00. Historically, there is plenty of space. There is also a campground very nearby if you prefer a more established facility. Here is the link for that campground:

Hope you can make it Gator1. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I can email or message you my phone number if you want to talk about anything on the phone.

They have limited camping on sight or there is the Bunker Hills camp grounds, very nice . The only down side to tent camping is the whooper wills they drove me crazing all night !! We don't have them here in ND . Im looking forward to this weekend !

Bigriver · June 13, 2018, 11:06:42 AM

Dont bother looking at the campground, its all booked

brivard · June 13, 2018, 10:37:43 PM

The bunker Hills Campground is full?!?! Darn-it!

If this is a concern to anyone please message or email me and we can come up with a solution.

I don't want anyone to not come out of concern for finding a place to camp.

The shoot is just a few days away...I am getting excited!

The campground is typically full this weekend every year. I alway camp on site and there is always extra space available. No water or electricity of course.

I missed the shoot, first time since 1996. Had family commitments out of state. Hope you all had great weather and a great time! I'll have to hear the after shoot stories as our summer outdoor leagues progress.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who made it to the shoot last weekend.

Besides some rain and poor service from our outside food vendor Saturday, it was a great weekend.

We are already planning for next year. Put it on your calendars. Always fathers day weekend.
