Thanksgiving at Lake Pleasant! The weather should be fabulous, lake levels good and we 4CU folks know how to do FOOD.


The Raccoon Group Campground is dry camping with a large ramada that does have electric & water, fire pit, nice restrooms and the occasional Burro herd wandering threw the campground in the middle of the night.


There is enough room for 30 trailers.
$15 per night per trailer paid at the Ranger Station upon arrival.
$5 per person Rally Fee.



Wednesday ~ Arrivals~ come set up, say hello to friends. Happy Hour at 5 in the Ramada followed by potluck at 6, please bring nibbles, noshes and bevvies to your liking.

The firepit will be sparked up every night at dusk. Firewood contributions would be welcome throughout the weekend.

Thursday~ Thanksgiving Day ~ Morning coffee and assorted goodies.
Day spent as you please. Hang around camp enjoying the company of good people, kayaking and other lake fun.
One o'clock we will begin frying turkeys. Please bring a side dish or dessert for the feast at 2:00 in the Ramada and your drink of choice of course. There are electrical outlets for crockpots in the ramada. As is Thanksgiving tradition I assume there will be a whole lot of sitting, chatting and or possible napping post bird. If you would like to bring a fun group game, we love that sort of activity. We may even be screening movies after dark around the campfire. Possibilities are Christmas Vacation and RV, good for a full belly laugh. Not a definite on the "schedule" at this time.

Friday~ Morning coffee and assorted goodies. Again, please spend the day as you please. A few people have mentioned some time at Ben Avery Shooting Range. I will lead a kayak excursion around the lake. What ever suits your fancy to burn the bird!
Happy Hour at 5 followed by FRY NIGHT at 6. Bring what you like to fry...tempura, meats, shellfish, veggies. Think wicked big fondue party.
Fire, friends, fun.

Saturday~ Morning coffee and assorted goodies. Usual happenings. Happy Hour at 5, Potluck at 6. Fire, friends, fun. There may be musical entertainment around the campfire.

Sunday~ Same as Saturday. With exception of packing up all the fun and saying adios, farewell and so long. Some people have mentioned staying Sunday night. I will check with Ranger Dave but I do not see an issue with that. In the past when we have stayed at Lake Pleasant some folks have enjoyed going to popular restaurant off Hwy 74 on Sunday evenings. That is always an option for those who choose to stay.
