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...

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!

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

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
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!!

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

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
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!

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
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!!!

Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
Well so much for even the possibility of coming up. Our brand new (picked it up last Tuesday) 1475 is caught up in the big de-lamentation issue that is going on with units made earlier this year. It's going back to Prescott tomorrow, then possibly trucked on to Lancaster to have the front end taken off and repaired. Enjoy, and maybe we can join on another AZ get-together once the unit is returned.

Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
Gene and I have Site #110 from the 8th to the 11th. You have another name on that spot. Should we be worried? I just checked my confirmation and it’s correct. Gene & Sherry, No, don't worry! You'll be coming up after AZLuddy leaves the site - or as they posted earlier: Site #110 Weds/Thurs June 6th and 7th We'll be in the Aliner....I am looking forward to meeting some Lance owners!

Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
Thanks to Galvanizd for posting this. We have found that during fire restriction times we were still able to use our portable fire pit with lava rock and propane. Not sure if that will be allowed given the extreme dry conditions right now. Hope for rain before June 6-12 rolls around. Really looking forward to meeting everyone! We would like to plan a nightly happy hour at 5:30pm, at out site 117. This gives everyone time to eat then come relax for an hour or two with their favorite beverage.

Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
Bummer, things always come up when you least expect it. My wife and I go up every month for about 5 days starting on this trip in June. It’s how we beat the heat in Phoenix... i’ll Post our next trip this weekend. Since it is so close to the valley the sites get booked up quickly. Fall could be a really nice trip with the colores changing. These was someone who was coming up and didn’t have a reservation. I would hook up with them and see if they can reserve it just after you cancel. Think...

Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018
Sorry you can't make it. We have a few trips reserved already. We will be in site 31. July 8th thru 19th. Sept 9th thru 18th. And we have Oct 4th thru 8th reserved. I retire Sept 5th and ran out of vacation in July so nothing planned for August

We are going unless the forest gets shut down, at this point it doesn’t look likely but if there is another big fire in the area between now and then it could change. Everyone that’s going, please keep an eye on this page. I’ll post an update just before we head up on Wednesday afternoon or if anything changes that could impact this trip. I’ll post my phone here so if you want to call before you head out that’s cool with me. We will be keeping tabs on the Forest Service for all updates. Rob...

I just got off of the phone with the lady in charge of campgrounds on the rim . I was moving Sunday night over to Black Canyon rim campground for my wife to hopefully see the wild horse herd that lives near there . She called to let me know that its now closed and was able to get me into another campground for Sunday . Anyway I asked about Aspen campground and she said they do not foresee having to close it . There is currently no fires threatening that area .

Wow, sorry to hear that... I'm surprised about Tom's, we have been going there for years and they always take care of us. I would think warranty work no matter where the rig came from would not be an issue! I'll have to find out what their policy is. CALL ME 480-250-5332 Got 2 good repair companies here in the valley that work on Lance and do warranty repairs. Tom's uses them also when they get slammed with work. 1st choice Timothy at Primitive RV 602-446-3576 2nd choice Ben 480-276-0906

Met some truly great people, laughed a lot, got a lot of photos to be posed here. Thanks to everyone that made the trip. Without all of you the memories wouldn’t be the same.

Mike and Kari, thanks for making the trip. Hope to see you guys next year, I want to go on one of your morning walk-abouts... I think you had the right idea! Great back lit shot Kari, love the baby elk pic, never gets old. Our next door neighbors took their inflatable boat to the lake this morning and saw a femal go into the lake and bathe for about 20min.... i’d Kill to get photos of that!!! Next time you guys. Rob

What an outstanding, memorable weekend!! Rob, you hit it out of the park! As you probably assumed, I was intrigued by your photography and the ham radio setup you had up there. It was absolutely fascinating watching your efforts to get the best shots of the birds and the communication with folks all over the western hemisphere via your radio and wire set up in the trees! I truly enjoyed the weekend!!!

I’m glad everyone had such a good time last year. We consider it our little corner of the world and the best escape from the heat of the valley. We will be back at our usual site but we would rather not host every night. We could do one night and it would be nice if anyone that shows up would like to host any additional evening get togethers. We enjoyed meeting everyone last year and had some good laughs and great weather. June weather is almost always the best of the entire season. We will...
