Camping at Portal RV

[BigSwede]

Just an FYI - I have been told the group tent sites at Portal are not available until the 10th

Since I am arriving the 9th, I will be sharing an individual tent site with Dave (Gizmo42), who is arriving the 8th.

So...AFAIK nobody from our group has reserved a group site for the 10th onward...

I've reserved it the last couple of years. I thought I'd just hand it off to someone else. I was under the impression you were going to do it.
Peace.

I was going to, but none of the group sites are available on the 9th. I tried sweet-talking them into letting a few of us set up camp on the 9th, but they would not go for it.

I don't want to move camp after getting all set up, so I'm just going to stay at an individual tent site all week. So somebody else that is coming in on the 10th needs to reserve the group site.

O.K. It's taken care of. Everyone who is going to tent camp in Moab please stay at the Portal Campground in Moab. You will absolutly love it. Tell them you are staying at group site "C" . It's under the name ZuZu. We have the site from May 10 - 16th. You do not have to check in on the 10th or stay until the 16th.
Peace.

Thanks for the effort guys! And thank you Tom for getting that done. I'm still flying by the seat of my panties so don't know what I'll be wheeling in May yet! If it's the truck I'll be able to sleep wherever I get too drunk to drive from! If it's the VX I'll be at the Portal fo sho...

hmmm..... maybe i should set up a bed in the back of the runner and go by this plan

[BigSwede]

Sounds good, thanks Tom.

BTW the group campsite is $8/person/night, showers are included.

Sent you a pm on the other board, thinking of maybe bringing my small weekend tent and setting up by the river for the first couple nights. Then set up the big tent at portal on the 10th in the group site. At least the small one I have is easy to set up and take down and doesnt take up much extra room.

Might look into staying somewhere else after this year. Apparently they dont want business from those of us who dont spend 1/2 million bux on rolling houses.

[BigSwede]

Heh, well they are trying to sell those $$ little lots...I'm sure they view the pusher crowd as more likely buyers than us tent folks, and prioritize accordingly...

Damn, I wish I could go to this:

Thu-Sun 13-16
Miatas In Moab IV - Over 250-300 Mazda Miata Sports Cars will converge in Moab representing 45+ Miata Clubs from 30+ states and Canada. Expected attendance is between 500-600. This event features drives, activities, and festivities. For more info call 801-597-1456.

Kind of funny that they still show the UTV thing the same week. I have read elsewhere that it has changed dates. Hmmmm!

It's also a great source for rear side marker lenses......

They were in Moab at the same time as us two or three years ago.

Can't wait! I finally get to make it back to Moab this year! I'll be joining you guys at Portal if that's OK. Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces and meeting a lot of new ones.

Sure, plenty of room at the group campsite...
