Sunline Club Campsites
We have selected overnight camping area A and have sites A11 to A21 being held by the campground for our group. Overflow if we fill this section will be sites 22 to 30 or if members have special needs. Members JohnB in site A11, group campsite A12 and vanhakke in site A13 have been reserved.

Notes: The campground has requested for back in sites to only back in on the pad. They want to avoid lawn damage from pulling in the opposite direction off the pad etc. Pull through sites can come in the opposite direction, just hookups are on the opposite side of your camper.

H'mm, I thought Spring happened a month ago? Maybe only a day or so. The weather is broke, wet cold and hot. You can have about 3 seasons in a week..

[Sunline Fan]

Reserved site A14 today for Friday and Saturday. A19 was already taken.

I'll be bringing the '97 again.

Also tagging along will be my friend Justin, he has a free weekend while his wife is away for a bachelorette party. We met in high school (back in the early days of SOC) in the class that I posted a lot on SOC from, lol. He grew up with a '98 Nomad and has many fond memories like I do with Sunline.
