Mary and I checked out Lake Ozark SP the other day. How does it look for a gathering in late Feb? The park has electric sites and a large vault toilet open year round. There is also water at the entrance.
If you go to Lake Ozark website you can see the area I am thinking about. It is section#4.
We are thinking about Feb29-Mar2. There is a lot to do in this area. It is best before all the tourist get here
Let me know if there is any intrest. I will check it out further.

Hi Rich! How are you doing? We will see what is going on here and maybe we can make it. We have a booth at a swap meet in Chickasha shortly after that so will have to check our dates. We man a booth for Model T Ford Club of America every year. Keep us posted.

Yeah, that looks like an easy one for us to get to, 'bout 4 1/2 to 5 hours. We really like going to caves, too.

Here's hoping for an early Spring. Count me in. It's not too far from KC. Will the caves be open to the public this early?

From www.mostateparks.com

Facilities


Thirty-nine state parks and historic sites offer camping opportunities to suit everyone's needs, from primitive walk-in sites to sites with hookups for water, electricity and sewer. Most state parks have basic campsites, which include a parking pad, table, grill and lantern post; and electric campsites, which have basic facilities plus electricity. Some sites offer basic facilities plus electric, water and sewer hookups. Many camping areas have modern restrooms, hot showers, trailer dump stations, coin-operated laundries and firewood available during their on-season.

Reservations
currently are accepted in 35 state parks. A portion of campsites in the reservation parks are available for the first-come, first-served user. Also, first-come, first-served users may occupy an available reservable campsite on a day-by-day basis if the site is not reserved. Before occupying a reservable site, check with facility staff or follow the directions on the "Vacant" card.

Operations

Nearly all state park campgrounds are open year-round. Electric hook-ups are available year-round, while water and showers are usually available from April 1 through Oct. 31 in most state parks. Roaring River, Bennett Spring and Montauk state parks are operational Feb. 25. Some northern parks are operational by April 15. All water hydrants are available by May 1.

A two-night minimum stay on the weekend (Friday and Saturday) is required at most state parks. Camping is limited to any 15 days within a 30-consecutive-day period at any one park. Many parks contain rules and policies that are specific to the individual park and its resources. Please call the individual park to inquire of specific rules and, upon your arrival, check the park's bulletin boards for additional rules.

A "no vacancy" sign implies that all first-come, first-served sites are rented for the night, and that all reservable sites are paid in full and reserved for the night. Reservation customers are permitted to arrive any time within the first 24 hours of their stay. This results in some reserved sites remaining empty for the first night when the customer chooses to arrive the next morning. The park or historic site is obligated to hold the reserved site for 24 hours.

Firewood
is available for sale at designated times at most state parks, or you may bring your own. Gathering firewood is strictly prohibited. Campers planning to carry in firewood must comply with current firewood advisories.

Early departures that are a result of park emergencies or park failure will produce a refund of all unused camping nights.

Enjoying Missouri State Parks with your Pet


Responsible pet owners and their pets are welcome in Missouri state parks. By following current pet rules, a positive impression will be left for all pet owners and will ensure that this privilege continues.

Senior and Disabled Citizens

Citizens who are 65 years of age or older or persons with disabilities are entitled to a reduced camping fee. An official document such as a driver's license certifying proof of age or disability must be presented when registering. Please visit the Camping Fees and Seasons page for additional information on discounts.

I am so glad to see interest in this gathering. It looks like a real nice area. I have reserved site138. I would suggest reserving a site but it is not necessary this time of year. If you go to Lake of the Ozarks State Park website and go to campground # 4 any of the sites at the far end. Maybe if we all bribe the weather man we can get a warm weekend.

I am so tired of being stuck indoors.

I reserved site 156 for 2/29 and 3/1. I tested my heater in October at the gathering in Nevada MO. I'm sure to be nice and warm no matter what. That's assuming the electricity stays on.

It's a lovely park. I look forward to seeing everyone there.

Bring your little doggie. I'm curious how to see how big she has become.
