They have facilites on site such as a store , resturant, volleyball etc. Fishing just accross the street and hiking trails and geological features all around. Saturday night the 20th we will plan a pot luck where we can meet some new friends and reaquaint with some old friends. we are appoligetic about the need to change from the previously planned schedule at Pinecrest but I believe this is going to be a better fit for the group and pinecrest is just 25 minutes down the road if you wish to adventure there for the day

Hi Joe. Your post is way down on the page, so it may not be getting noticed. I had to scroll down to see it.

Anyway, do you have any info on camping rates and availability of campsites at this place. I know last year, it was kind of hard to get campsites at Kennedy Meadows just up the road.
I looked on the Dardenelle site and there is not much info. I did enjoy that area last year though and would like to make it again this year.

For those that are unfamiliar with the area, Dardenelle is up near the base of the Sonora Pass on Highway 108. Beautiful country up that way. You do not have to go over the pass if you are coming from the Valley, so it is not to hard of a pull. Last year I continued over the pass to highway 395 and made a visit to Bodie, Mono Lake, and then onto Yosemite. The eastern Sierra is very interesting.

I do plan to attend the Treasure Island Meet again this year on the 27/28th, and have sent in my fee to Dave for that one.

Jerry in San Jose

Jerry -
I didn't make the Kennedy Meadows campout last year, and was disappointed when I tried to make reservations at Pinecrest after Joe posted about this year's meet and greet. When I heard that the venue had changed, I called Dardenelle's about a week or so ago, and was able to reserve a campsite next to the Duncans. It's worth a call if you're interested. I like being able to reserve a campsite as opposed to taking my chances with forest service campground availability.
