Not camping on this one Carl (i'm a wus). If it were me and I had a camper like yours, I'd get an electric site and have an AC stashed somewhere. Could be very warm that time of year. Just my 2 cents and you know how I worry bout ya.

Not to worry Jack, There is still time to UN-WUS yourself:ROFL:. My camper has the AC flap in it already, But the nylon sides to the tent has an R rating of roughly neg 6.5 :lash:. In time I probably will switch.
I was going to camp, but after listening to Halfling's urging I decided to go with a room... who knows, I may even like a room better than sleeping on an air matteress for a week.
Drove down to the Campground this afternoon. It's a solid 2 miles from the Fontana Lodge. The road is paved with a few potholes (easy to avoid) and it is on the banks of the river at the base of the Fontana Dam. It is very flat and grassy with some trees, fire pits and picnic tables (some covered). Looks to me like we can put a lot more than 10 tents into the spots designated for camping with no water/electric. Looks like a good spot. No shuttle though unless we provide it ourselves (which we might be able to do). I've got pictures but it will have to wait until I get home to get them off my camera (forgot my cable).
Thanks John for ALL work you have & will put in to make this a Great Event:claps: :bow:.
As far as the campsites go,a few places I have camped at will allow multipal tents/campers on a site as long as everybody pays. So if we overload the campground, we might all still get a spot.
HEY! I know that place... that's just there where NC Highway 28 crosses the river below the high dam.
In 2011 I damned near met my maker there when a group of Harley riders going the other way, came careening down that road from the Village onto the bridge.
A couple of them were have trouble staying in their lane and nearly clipped me. (I'm mean within inches!)
One of them (a woman) was REALLY having a hard time holding it there and actually passed me on my right...:shock:
When I got to the gas station at the turn off to the village, I had to visit the bathroom and spot clean my shorts.
True story.. don't forget fellas... this place is a mecca for weekend riders. Be alert...
We will be camping in the tent without elec..But how many tents are they allowing on a site ??? And :wtf: Jack ???? No camping :lash::lash::lash::lash:
Not only are we camping.... we are riding in.....all the way....from Washington State! It's called "motorcycle touring" not "motorcycle trailering!"
I'll ride until I die, or until I can't....... And when I can't, I'll be glad for all the times I did ride.....
(edit: Kinda sounded like a pompous ass, huh? Sorry....I get carried away with myself every once in awhile (once in awhile?)! And I beg your forbearance!)

I just called and switched ours to an electrical site. That way if it's hot, we will have power for a fan/air conditioner, plus we can charge our computer and phone! :thumbsup:
I was informed the ac campsites DO NOT have 110 receptacles! They are 30 RV plugs only. Make sure you have an adapter like this to use a fan or window air conditioner with.
I believe all of the campsites at this location are now booked. There are still plenty of rooms available at the lodge and we are encouraging as many folks as possible to take a room to help support the cost of facilities. Thanks for the continued support!
John
