2010 Schedule:

Feb. 26 - 28    Bastrop State Park

March 19 - 21    Brazos Bend State Park

May 21 - 23    Thousand Trails Lake Conroe

 

The sites I have at the State Parks are with other groups, but I can have up to 8 people on my site.  Both of these State Parks are full and not accepting more reservations at this time but I already have my site reserved.  You would be able to pitch a tent on my site next to my RV.

For the Thousand Trails Lake Conroe campout there are rental cabins available.  They are nice, new cabins and rent for $75.00 per night.  They sleep 4 or 5 people (depending on which cabin you reserve).  You would need to call Thousand Trails at 936 856-7888 between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM to make a reservation and pay.

 


PWP Chapter 63 hosts campouts for their members.  We usually go to state parks or sometimes membership campgrounds as guests.  Our sites will always have water and electric hookups and sometimes even sewer hookups (for the RVs).  The campsites are shared with usually one RV and one or more tents per campsite. We have a combination of RV owners and tent campers - both are welcome. 

There is usually a pot luck dinner or other activity on Saturday night so everyone can get to know each other.   In the colder weather we gather around a big campfire at night to talk and tell jokes or play cards or dominoes.  We have FUN!

RESERVATIONS

Advanced reservations are needed to attend our campouts. Please make them as soon as possible, but at least one week prior to the campout. It is better to call with a "maybe" than to show up without calling. Day visitors are encouraged to call even if they will not be staying to camp with us.  Advanced payment guarantees your reservation and discount. Please pay by a CHECK made out to PWP.  We need to know in advance how many sites to reserve. Members with a camping vehicle MUST pay in advance. Sites are NOT guaranteed without payment. If you make a reservation and cannot attend the campout, a phone call to the person in charge is expected. If no phone call is received, then payment for the campout is expected before another reservation can be made. Deadline for reservations or cancellations for RV campers is ONE WEEK before campout.  Tent campers please call to let the host know you won't be able to make it so we won't be looking for you to arrive.

CANCELLATIONS/REFUNDS

All cancellations need to be made one week in advance by calling the host of the event.  Tent campers can call up to two days before the campout because we are not holding a space just for them.

If you have prepaid and you cancel one week in advance, your check will be held for a future campout or torn up at your request. If you intend to pay at the campout and have reserved a vehicle site, and have not called to cancel one week in advance, you must still pay the camping fee. If you have reserved an RV site and you cancel (even one week in advance), there is a $5.00 cancellation fee if that is what the State Parks charge us.   We understand last minute emergencies happen.  If this occurs, call the host in charge immediately.  RV campers must pay for all nights (unless the State Park office will refund our money).

  2. Camping fees are to be paid in advance or when you sign in. It is your responsibility to come to the host instead of making them search for you.
