Get ready folks...

Well there you have it. Change, it is inevitable.  Will be an interesting time for sure.

[Bonny Pearl]

Camp fee is 25.00 now.  It will be interesting to see the changes made.

I have looked all over and have not found where they said they were charging $25 next year.  Did I miss something?

Nevermind.  I found it.  Still not too bad.  I am sure that price has a lot to do with the extra security and such.

oops, sorry, meant to add the link.  it is on the general camping info page:

Next maybe they will come up with a discount season camping pass for those who attend and camp all season. 

[Captain Teague]

Not to rain on parades, but....that 2 million is going to come from somewhere. I don't expect to see many discounts on any sort of passes at all. And if gate fees go up for us non campers, well....that is not going to sit well with us. I am glad they listened to many of us on this board in requests, truly I am. From what I saw of the grounds, they certainly needed it. But the cost is higher than I even discussed before in another thread, of course I did not know they were doing the roads as well.

Wow.  Talk about change.  Some of it sound good, but I'm afraid the feeling of camping is about to get a whole lot more commercial.  Like someone said earlier, "Be careful what you wish for!"

[Terre Albert]

We will take into consideration the fact that some like it rough. 

86% of people surveyed said they wanted Bathrooms, Electricity and Running Water

Most people are in tents and we will keep almost ever thing they way it was last year for those people.

Knowing we have a couple different types of patrons in the campground we will make sure to keep your experience they way you want it for your style.

While I know it's impossible to make everyone happy.  We did our research to try and add the things people kept asking for.

Hope you give it chance.

Thank you Terre for listening to the suggestions from many campers.

If you get a chance, come up to Sherwood Forest Faire during the 2012 season and I'll show you the campgrounds.

I ask because I have no knowledge never having been to TRF before.  Can they accomodate a 38' motorhome.   We probably won't be able to come before 2014 so by then the elec. water etc will be in.  I have holding tanks so sewer connections will not be a deterent.

There is plenty of room for your motorhome, as long as you get there in a timely manor.

[Laird Fraser of Lovatt]

Thanks, Terre, for chiming in.  Rennies are adaptable folks... 

[Lady Laura]

Thank you Terre for responding.  I guess what worried me the most when I read the post is the prospect of camps having glaring electric lighting instead of torches and fires.  We had a couple of guys park across from us this year with a big white enclosed trailer hooked to their truck. They had a string of extremely bright regular light bulbs plugged into a generator and it was like being in a Walmart parking lot!  We asked them to unscrew the two closest to our camp and they were considerate enough to agree.

Our camp has been so pleased with what you've already done to better our camping experience.  I'll quit worring and leave it in your capable hands to continue your work!

[Breandan]

Perhaps an excessive light curfew to go with the noise curfew?
