I don't think I have any more spots for cars at my site, but I could make room for another tent. Also, Mark has that huge tent he's bringing. I think the main limitation we're going to have will be with parking spaces. Best thing to do would be to reserve another spot in that campground ASAP so you're guaranteed a spot for your car. Every trip we generally end up with lots of vehicles.

Well, if you don't have anything, here's the short list for you and 2 sons -

3 Sleeping Bags
3
Personal items Sleeping Pads
1 Tent *
Paper plates
Paper/plastic cups
Plastic utensils
Food
A couple pots/pans
Warm Clothes **
Fire starter *******
Fishing Gear!


* 4 person tent minimum since you'll need extra room for clothes and things.
** Don't forget this one, there's a good chance the temp could dip into the 30s at night or early morning. I also bring rain gear just to be safe.
*** Let me tell you, it's hard to make fire without a lighter or matches. We learned this from experience one trip LOL
**** Soap, toothpaste, etc...

This is a basic list and it's missing some things, but if you're planning on joining the rest of us, we always share the cool camping gear we have.

Last year, Chris actually went up there with only a small tent, a sleeping bag, and his clothes!!! We had Sean's dad at camp last year which was awesome!!! He did all the cooking and it was great stuff!
