I went down to JRR on Saturday and checked out the group areas. The one I checked out months ago is the best but not up to our standards. The other two group sites are very rustic, probably because they are prone to flooding.

I wanted to take a better look in the riverside west park but it was closed up for the season.

The area in riverside west that I picked out is site numbers 14-25. Sites 5-10 and 26-28 are very close and can be used as overflow if needed. Reservations are open on December 3 on Recreation.gov.

El Dorado Lake was alright and had some really nice areas. The nicest ones were very close together but at a gathering I wouldn't mind. I wouldn't want to camp next to strangers that closely though. Overall IMO there are better locations to have a gathering but it would be fine for a stopover or fishing trip. :thumbsup:

Is riverside west a group area where you pay one fee and split the cost like you did at crawford or do you make a reservation and just pay for your own site.

Today you can reserve for Friday but not Saturday. Tomorrow you should be able to do both.

I'm determined to come up with a name for the gathering. I'm leaning toward - Tallgrass Prairie Rendezvous - (Thanks for helping Nathan) :thumbsup:

Tomorrow I'm going to try and get site 18 for the weekend. Sites 14 -25 are all in a group, somewhat. Other sites are close enough that we can use them as overflow. :applause:
