September get together in the "OCEAN STATE"

[myboyburt]

I just purchased a couple of 6 speed folding bikes from CampingWorld - looking forward to using them at this get together!

And I'll be able to add RI to my U.S. Map that is displayed on the inside of our Airstream's door. Yippee!!

Hey Robin, glad to see you are joining us! There are still plenty of sites in Section 2. Hope you mentioned the "Ahmed party", so they park you next to the group.



Site availability in Airstream Lane.

I happened to look at your rally invite to the state park. When I lived in Ct. we use to camp there and it truly is a great park and being so close to the ferry makes it even more special. But, I was surprised to see that R.I. really charges the non-residents to camp there. I wonder why?? It sure does not promote tourism in R.I. Do you know the reason why?
Have a great rally!!! You really should if the weather is great.

It's basic economics, supply & demand. This place is a hot spot in RI, and difficult to book a site between Memorial Day thru Labor Day without booking months in advance. I've never camped yet at a campground with full hookup, drive thru sites and extremely clean "for free". CNN Travel named coastal RI one of the top 10 best places to visit. Anything desirable has a price tag on it.

As Gail says above this campground is in high demand. Local RI folks should pay a bit less as their state taxes help fund the park. I for one am happy to pay the out of state rate to spend time with good friends.

For those of you still interested in attending, DON'T SEND APPLICATION IN as it has to be mailed 2 weeks in advance. You can register upon arrival, first come first serve. There are plenty of sites still available in Section 2, and the campground is not full this time of year. So.............come join the fun!

Same reason Texas charges out of state student more to attend their state schools. Your tax dollars at work... or play....

I'm really trying to controll myself here but looking at the map I think I have electric, water, and sewer. First time this year. I am so excited and the Chief of All Things Great and Small can stay in the shower for as long as she wants to.

PS... We really like Tuscan Lamb....

You are most certainly right. Section 1 has full hookup.

There is clamming at Point Judith Pond behind the campground. Bring your buckets and boots.
