we already have our reservations. We will be in #119. Will be nice to meet other owners. Met Jayne and Rob last year. Aspen Campground is our favorite place.

Very cool Joe.. look forward to meeting you and the rest of the folks making the trip. The weather is typically very nice in early June. C U there, can’t wait, it’s always our nicest trip of the year!!! Rob

Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
There are only a couple of sites left in the entire park, if you have any interest I’d get it booked pretty soon, within the next few days. If you miss getting in you’ll have to watch the reservation site daily, they will get cancellations once in a while...

Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
Rob and Jayne, Gene and I will be there for a long weekend, Friday June 8 through the Monday the 11th. We will be in site 110. We are looking forward to meeting up with fellow Lancers!

Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
Very cool Gene, really looking forward to meeting you guys and everyone else that’s going to be there... I’ll need to set up a time for happy hour, this is getting bigger, so glad so many have decided to make the trip. 😁

Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
It appears that these are all non-electric sites? Are campers allowed to use generators? I see site 118 is still available but it is non-electric so I just wanted to ask how you all planned on camping up there? Thanks Tim
Comment
Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
Hey Tim, correct, none of the sites have electric and they do allow generators. We have solar panels but always bring the gen. Incase the suns not shining down on us. 118 is right across from us and is a nice deep site. Each site has a picnic table, grill and fire pit. If we don’t get more rain soon there may be fire restrictions comes June, how ever, we have a propane portable pit with lava rock and those are always allowed. Hope you can make it, not many site left!!! Rob 😀

Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
I thought I already replied but I'm looking and don't see it.... Sorry for the delay. These are non-electic (hook-up) sites. The camp ground has a number of locations within the camp ground to fill up with potable water so that's nice and on the way out there is a dump site for $7.... Generators are allowed, we carry one just in case but reply on our solar panels, love the solar panels! Each site has a paved pad, a picnic table, a grill and fire pit. If we don't get a good amount of rain...
Comment
Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
Tim, I have site #116, right next to you and across from Rob. I MAY have two generators with me - you could use one of them, if needed.

We took a little ride to the Rim today, got some great photos! Although the Aspen CG is closed, the trails are open and we hiked around CG and Lake. Lots of fishing going on today! Not sure if anyone caught any. Ran into a small herd of young elk, the girls had fun. Our campsites look great! Lots of shade! Here’s a few pics of our view.
Comment
Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
Lew...are you going to have your new camper by then? That would be great...maybe we can convoy up together! When are you planning to arrive? SLR...great pics and beautiful area? Are you camping up in the area or did you just drive up for the day? Rob...when I checked this morning there were a couple sites left around where you mentioned. We will certainly have our two little ones with us (11 & 8) so I hope that will be ok with everyone? Are there any others with children that are going?
Comment
Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
We were up for the day. Checking out CG, hiking trails, and sites and to let our girls (Sadie and Saffron) playing the snow. The weather was spectacular!

Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
Just confirmed reservations for arrival on the 8th thru the 11th at site #118. Looking forward to meeting some more LOA members.
Comment
Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
Great to see another LOA member joining the group, really looking forward to meeting some new faces and some familiar ones. We have 3 little ones but of the 4 legged variety, Dillion, Mason and Emma. They love camping, you should see how they get when Jayne starts packing a few days in advance! It’s too funny... Rob
Comment
Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
Nice photos Gene.... usually there is a lot more snow than that, I hope they get a lot more before winter closes out or else it will be bone dry come June!

Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
Awesome, the group is getting bigger, the more the merrier!!! 😀
Comment
Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
Lew, It appears we have a reservation conflict. I made a reservation for site #116 on Dec.10th arriving Thu June 7, departing Wed Jun 13 and have written confirmation from recreation.gov
Comment
Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
When I made my reservations last night site #111 was still showing available! Also we will have a dog or two along with us as well as the human kind of little ones! I expect our older son will opt to stay in Yuma working and doing school!
Comment
Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
Yeah, I mistakenly said site #116. The correct site is #114! Just a slip of my index finger on the keyboard. I'll arrive on Wednesday, the 6th, and depart on Sunday, the 10th. I'll probably move down to Canyon Point and check in there for a couple of days or more. I won't be in a big hurry to get back to the heat!!
Comment
Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
I just saw this. Was it ever posted in the discussion? Wish I could have made it but it's only a week apart from the annual SCIO. I've been trying for the past 3 years to have someone do a GTG who lives in CO. All I got was places to camp but no one wanted to set it up. Thank you Rob for doing this. My U.S. map looks like it's missing a tooth and it's CO. I'm planning on a trip there this year so I'll keep in touch, maybe we can hook up since you know the places....

I will be coming up for a couple nights (6th & 7th) Thanks Gene and Sherry for bringing this get-together to my attention. I've got a few questions about Lances! And I'm looking forward to meeting some Lance folks. See you in June! Campsite #110 June 6,7

Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
Cool, great to add another Lance member to the trip. You have a member right next to you in 108 and we will be in 117. Looking forward to meeting you! Plan on a nightly happy hour at our site! Rob
Comment
Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
Wow, I just did a run down on the sites reserved for our informal get together: 107,108,110,111,114,116,117,118,119 It's going to be cool to see so many Lance campers in this section. I think I need to do a special event t-shirt for this. I'll post it when I get it done. :-) This is the start of our camping season for us, just when the Phoenix area is heating up so we are REALLY looking forward to meeting everyone! Rob

It will be great to meet you too! We don't live far from each other either. I won't be bringing Cielo as she doesn't camp well anymore.

Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
Has anyone that is attending installed the Microair device on their AC unit?
Comment
Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
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
Comment
Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
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 BobnRobin

Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
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.
Comment
Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
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.
Comment
Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
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. 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.
Comment
Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
Hi Rob, Thanks for the information -- we'll probably follow your advice irt arrival date. We're coming from Green Valley, south of Tucson about 30 miles. Looking forward to meeting everyone!
Comment
Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
That's awesome! We will be in site 117, plan on evening get togethers at our site, byob. We will be there late in the afternoon on the 6th. To the 12th. Rob & Jayne
Comment
Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
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.
Comment
Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
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!
Comment
Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
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!
Comment
Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
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!
Comment
Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
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)

Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
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. https://www.fs.usda.gov/recare...d=80835&actid=29 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.
