Corgi Camp Out at Manchester State Park, Sept 18 - 20, 2009

Finally, we have a new date for our Manchester State Park Corgi Camp Out! It's a month later than originally planned, because I simply could not get a reservation earlier - this is a very popular group camp. I hope lots of you can join us for the weekend, or just for Saturday! We'll provide additional details as we get closer to the big day, but for now here's the basics:

We'll be in the group campsite at Manchester State Park, and it has great amenities, including 12 RV sites with electrical and water hookups, 4 RV sites without, and all kinds of room for people to pitch tents. There's also a bathroom with showers, a covered picnic shelter with 8 tables and electricity, and a fire pit. In the center of the group site there's a big grassy area where it would be fun to set up some games and agility equipment for the dogs to play.

The park is right outside of Port Orchard and has a beautiful view, looking across the water toward Seattle. As with all state parks, it's "on-leash," but there are nice trails to take the dogs for walks on.

For those who will be camping, here are prices per night, but these may go up a little if there are 2009 price increases: RV site with hookups - $28.75/night; RV site without hookups - $22.12/night; tents are $5.00 per night. Payment will be due to me by Sept 1 and I'll provide the address where you can send it when you RSVP.

Because Manchester is so close-in, and the facility is so nice, we're hoping that those who don't camp will come just for Saturday afternoon and evening and we'll have a big barbeque and potluck.

That's all the pertinent details for now, but watch for more information in the July timeframe.
