Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018

Hey, y'all, I'd be glad to do a better drawing of all the campers and where they have their reservation,  BUT I only have nine that have checked in.  If you aren't listed on the map I posted, let me know where your campsite is and I'll get you drawn in!

And, remember there are some "first come-first served" still available.  Let me know if you're thinking about coming even if you don't have a reservation.  That would count for ten more rigs!!!!!

Thanks!!!

OK, here are the locations of those that have responded SO FAR!  If needed, I can add a printed list of sites and names, but for now it's just a updateable map...

Site #110 Weds/Thurs June 6th and 7th   We'll be in the Aliner....I am looking forward to meeting some Lance owners!  I'm hoping to get my own Lance in the next couple of years.  See you soon.

Kris and Jack the Boxer

Leann and Richey Robbins with Marlee our Cattle dog.      site #119    Tues 5th thru 13th    Really looking forward to meet everyone.

Rob,

What's the chance of posting a list of attendees and their site number?  I'm attempting to keep track of the sites and MIGHT be able to post a map of the campground with the names of the attendees by their sites.

Thanks!

Lew,

We will be in site 115 and will arrive the 9th and leave the 12th.

Brian, Rochelle and Chrissy

OK Everyone, if you are going to this “informal gathering” sound off with name and site number. Lew has kindly offered to put a list of attendees together.  I’ll start, but just tag onto this thread so we get everyone...

Rob & Jayne Monsipapa  SITE 117 Arrive  (3 dogs Dillion, Mason and Emma)

It will be great to be in 108!  This will be the first time towing by myself and parking by myself.  Fun times.  

Let me know when you will be getting there and I’ll help out, what ever you need... Rob

Thought about coming up on the maiden voyage of our new 1475, but the link for "reservations", only shows walk up sites, there is no reservation ability.  Can't afford to show up on a Friday night and find the place full.  Enjoy, maybe we can catch the group next time.

Go to this website that has a map of the other camps in the area. While its not with the group its not that far to drive over and spend the days and evenings.

This is a list of the other nearby camps which are on the map.

Sinkhole  - Rim  -  Spillway  -  Mogollon  -  Crook

In addition there are many areas where you can camp in a "Dispersed"  area for free.

Contact me if you want or need more information.

Don't miss out on a chance to share your new trailer and absorb a lot of info from other Lance owners!  Come up a bit early (like in the previous posting) and get yourself a site for the weekend.  It's a great place to "break in" your new trailer!

Was interested in attending, but on Recreation.gov, all the sites in Aspen CG are marked as "Walk Up". So when we read down through the thread and see everyone with reservations, we have to wonder, "What are we missing?!". Any help here?

OK, got a different result... It appears there are no reservation sites left for June 8/9, but since there are a bunch of walk-ups, so we can get up there early (7th?) and take a chance on getting a spot. We've driven further on longer odds!

See you there.

You got it right.  That indicates all the reserved sites are taken and only walk up sites will be avail... coming up on the Thursday the 7th the earlier the better or get there late the 6th.  Friday gets busy with folks coming up from the valley.  Also, keep an eye on the reservation site.  Someone may cancel and open up a spot.

 

I was up there last weekend and visited the Aspen Campground.  I had a conversation with two very nice ladies at the check-in booth and they confirmed that many sites are left for walk-in campers on a "first come-first served" basis.  My suggestion is, like Rob said, get up there Thursday evening or early Friday and get one of those non-reservable sites.  It's a beautiful campground on spite of no hookups!

Look forward to meeting you guys.  The area is beautiful.  They have potable water right in the campground so no need to haul water.

Let me know if you have any questions.  Where you coming from?

I think I forgot to update but I’ll be in site 118 and will be coming only with my Australian Shepherd as Catherine and the kids are probably going to be going back to visit family in Louisiana along with my son who just returned from Japan/Korea. Looking forward to a quiet weekend.

Has anyone that is attending installed the Microair device on their AC unit?

Joe, never heard of it.  We have never used the AC.  I figure if we have to use it, we aren’t in a high enough elevation...  lol

Rob! We gave one away at RITV 3. Joe they work very well and a number of my Lance friends have installed them. One installed one in his 2285 with a 15k btu and runs it with a Honda 2000i. 

If caught in a hot area, we find an RV park with hookups!

Happy Campers
