FOR ALL CAMPERS, SUMMER SPECIAL !!!
We had such a great success last summer, and have had many inquires if we were going to run the same special this summer. And the answer is YES!
We will once again be running our summer on-site storage special from the beginning of May through the end of September. Bring in your rig, pick a non-prime site and storage your unit for only $50.00 plus tax per month. Then when you are ready to get away for a long needed weekend you just come on in, hook up your rig and pay only for the days that you’re here.

Adios, Amigos! (Only Spanish words I know) Hope your summer goes well, and that you return safely to Lake Waldena next season. We had several new RV’rs join us this year and we hope all of you enjoyed the season with us.
Now for the bad news: our operating costs have gone up dramatically during the past 2 years, since we last raised the camping fees. We need to address that issue before next season. Our options are:
1. Cut back on our services, as much as possible.
2. Raise the camping fees.
3. Install electric meters at each site and charge for usage.
I personally like #3, because that allows everyone the opportunity to conserve on their costs, should they want to. Most other seasonal parks have already taken that route.
Your input would be appreciated. Thanks, Don

Don doesn’t really have a lot to say this edition (Surprise, Surprise!!), but since the opportunity presents itself…how can I refuse?
This Chili Cookout was not very well attended, due in part to the weather, our scheduling (Ash Wed.), and our failure to post a sign-up sheet. Considerable effort by some great volunteers and staff, plus several hundred dollars was put into this project, and everyone was disappointed by the attendance. Many thanks to those who did come.
The options we will be taking a look at for next year are: 1. Not having it. 2. Having it in the Rec.Hall. 3. Making it a charity benefit (Salvation Army), and pre-selling tickets. 4. Reducing the scope of the project.
Your comments are always appreciated!
