It looks as if I can make it if the dates are 6/30 7/01.  I would prefer to have an RV site if possible for a 29 ft class C motorhome.  I'm sure someone will have a vehicle to launch my boat, since it is a little more difficult with a motorhome.  If there are no RV spots, I am ok with tenting it, although it has been a while since I slept in a tent.

Where is this lake at???

Dennis, that's great. Cal can confirm this but I believe the sites have 32 feet of parking with all hookups. It's the reservoir behind the Wanapum Dam just south of where I-90 crosses the Columbia River at Vantage. Click on parks.wa.gov, park info, Wenatchee area, then Ginko/Wanapum, camp site maps, sites 1-50. Then click on a camp site and it will show you pictures of that site with a legend showing all the pertinent info. Some pad parking is back in and some are pull through.

OK   I just put my reservation in for campsite #32 at Wanapum State Park for Fri 6/29 to Sun 7/01.  It is a pull through site for my motorhome and boat, at least I hope it will hold both.  So I guess I am locked in to go to the first annual Northwest Epic Round Up.
There are still some spots left to reserve, but not many.

Hey guys, just saw the thread now.  Ill have to check my calendar about those dates, might work and it might not.  My family doesnt really camp, but Im fine with it, so Ill see what happens.


So, it is for sure at Vantage? Just checking because I will need to drag my boat from either Seattle or Coeur 'd Alene, depending where its at and just need to figure out if I need to get to CDA first to bring it to Seattle. ;D

I just realized that this is the weekend before the 4th of July?  Is this going to be an issue for anyone else?  I know that is a pretty big party weekend for my family up in Bellingham.  Could definitely put a damper on my attendance.

Lets keep dates and options floating, Sub $100 reservation on 4 campsites, what's the worst that can happen? Other options include houseboat rentals, RV rentals, hotels, lake houses/condos with kickass two story docks and hot tubs. On the same lake or neaby with a bunch of boats that would be fun. What else is available in the general geographical area whereof you all reckon this might take place?

Campsites is cheap, no problema on me reserving that, Cal. PM me about it. ;)

If we decide to do something else in terms of date and location, I can cancel my camp site reservation.  The sooner the better.

I'm all for houseboats, but I think those book out well before the start of the year.  I wish I could research, would somebody else take this on?  Really the only are two lakes that I know of that have houseboat rentals -- Courd'alene (spelling?) and Lake Roosevelt.  I haven't booked the Vantage sites yet.

Well, Coeur 'd Alene would be sweet as both my boats are there now... ;D

But, I realize that it is at least a 5hr drive at 75mph unloaded (ie, no boat) and closer to 6hrs with a boat at 60-65mph.  Im open to options, but that weekend might be hard to do now that it is the 4th of July weekend.  I will be at my cabin on CDA then for sure, dont know if I can get to Vantage.

I'd tough it out to Vantage but Spokane is a bit far for the weekend. From Mason Lk it's an additional 1-2 hours from Seattle and that doesn't include going there to pull the boat out. Let's make this as equitable as possible. Just come to Mason Lk and it won't cost you a dime to camp! ;)

If that weekend doesn't work, pick another. 8/4-5?

They would only let me book one spot, I booked #34.  The person I spoke to recommended booking #'s 35, 48, and 49 since they are all close to Dennis' spot.  So, if you get a free minute and are planning on (or even thinking of) attending, will you please call and reserve a spot?  They seem to be filling quickly.  The number is (888) 226-7688, and ask for "Ginko/Wanapum park reservations".  Cost of each site is $59.00 for Friday, 06/29 through Sunday, 07/01. 

Cancellation fee is only $7, so please just book even if you aren't sure you can make it.  We can always find somebody else to fill the spot later if needed.

#35 is booked, which will make the wife happy as it is closest to the restrooms. 48 and 49 are still open and directly across the road from 34&35. ScarabEpic22 and FreeLance, if you can't stay the whole weekend, why don't you come over Friday and stay one night. 

Cyclone, I'm sure there's plenty of room at any of the already booked sites for you to pitch a tent.

Sounds good to me, Ill see whats going on when the time gets closer.  If worst happens, I can always find someplace to spend the night around there.  It might be a little trickier if I bring my Epic, but if its just me and my truck, Im fine wherever.
