Our reservations are in for site 23........... normally sites 22-28 have electric, BUT...... alas,.... electric is not working at these sites right now for some reason.... hopefully by Nov they will be fixed,.... will have to check up on sites closer to date,.... hopefully we wont have to make site changes for electric,........ the shack and group site 2 have electricity available if need to make changes later.
as stated earlier, creekside camping is the more desirable side of the campground. Keepin my fingers crossed! CANT WAIT

Doug we are registered under Brenda Young, When making reservations they only ask for a one night deposit, and IF anyone needs to cancel reservations ( hope not ) they require 72 hrs advance notice to get your deposit back.
Call and get your spots! November is high season for them. The choice sites will be gone if you wait till the last minute.
Some campgrounds fill up fast..........I've had to make reservations 1 year in Advance to even get in at Bahia Honda State park.

What is the date????
I scanned through the thread and didn't see what date was finalized for the event.
If I'm going to make a reservation it might as well be for the same weekend that the rest of yall are there.

i'm going to call today and try to reserve sites 22-28 so that we have them then when people call in for a reservation they should be able to transfer the site from me to you, i'll give them the name of the group. More updates to come...
Hey ya'll
alright i just spent awhile on the phone with Fish Eating Creek, spoke with Ruthy (very nice lady). I have reserved sites 22-28 (except for brenda's site 23). I went ahead and reserved them one my credit car to save the space. She said that you can call in and reserve anyone of them and she'll transfer the name from me to you and get your credit card info instead of mine. Then she'll just refund me. I got more site then we probably need but i haven't heard back from some members that originally said they were maybes.
Anyone can cancel a reservation within 72 hours of the camping date. Also just a note...each site includes as many tents as you want without encroaching on your neighbors, but since we are all together it doesn't matter. Each site also includes up to 4 people and 2 vehicles. if you have more then 4 people with you at your site its $3/person per night extra. But since we are all together, if one site had more then 4, the "extras" can over flow to a neighboring site.
So as if now Brenda (YoungOne) has site 23 and I (Doug Mays) have site 24. I left 22 open, its closest to the bathrooms so if anyone needs that space due to medical conditions or kids or whatever, i figure we'll leave that site to someone who might need it more.
So go ahead and call in, tell them you with Doug Mays and the South Florida BBQ Gathering (i didnt want to say "smoking" just incase there was some confusion with other activities...haha). It's $15/night per site.
As YoungOne told us and Ruthy confirmed...FPL is giving them flack on having water and power in the same spot (she gave me a long explanation about this)...so she isn't sure if there will be power and water. But she said the bath houses have water so we can transport that with coolers and trucks.
Once you reserve a spot (22, 25-28) let me know and i'll update the chart on this thread.
I'll PM Calculus and Flash because they were maybes and i haven't heard back from them yet.

Hi All,
Two adults coming, maybe two more, haven't confirmed yet. I'll be bringing my ECB (it's all I could fit in my
car) a charcoal grill, and my crockpot (chili).
I"ll be putting my menu together in the next couple of days and will post, but will probably consist of BBR,
chicken, chili, and I'm definitely going to do a fattie Saturday morning. Various veggies and ABT's.
I'm really getting excited about this event. I'm still on board with three categories for friendly competition:
Ribs-Chicken-Wild Card (ABT's or Fatties or anything we all want to agree on.) I'm going to start hunting
trophy makers and snag us three of them, so I'll need to know what that third category is going to be for
the engraving. If you want it to be just a Ribs comp. let me know as well.
