NE Ohio CCFan Mini at Salt Fork Lake Aug. 3 - 5

Last year we had a great time despite the bad weather so lets start planning for the

2012 Salt Fork CCF Mini Reunion!   

August 3rd - 5th

Salt Fork is Ohio's largest state park and has a beautiful campground with lots of nice free docking. Salt Fork also has a really nice lodge (for those that don't want to camp) with two swimming pools, restaurant, bar, and game room. They also have cabins available but these fill up really quick.

The park has 14 hiking trails, a golf course, and an abundance of wildlife. The 2,952-acre lake is beautiful and has the largest inland beach in Ohio. Located right off of I-77 in Cambridge, Ohio.

This year I promise the weather will be better and the skiing will be just as good as it was last year! This is a family friendly event so bring the whole crew.

Plan early as the campground fills up VERY quickly. The botom of the "F" Loop where we were at last year is already full and they just became available to book last week... So, This year we are going to occupy the top of the "G" Loop.

For those that don't want to camp, the lodge is also available, I recommend trying to find a room on the first level on the wing near the lake. The deer come up to the lodge in the evening. and will almost be on your back porch.

That was some write-up Randy...well done.

I'll throw my 2 cents in, I had a blast down there last year, the water was great, and the camping was easy. Plus Chef-boy-ar-Randy's smoked meat on Saturday night was a pretty great way to wind down the day...even in the pouring rain. Highly recommend making the trip for anyone within striking distance.

Dad agrees, "a good time was had by all."

Glad to see your going to make it Adam! It's going to be a great time! I'm hoping now that Spring has arrived we can get some more CCFans to get spots reserved. I checked the reservation site and it looks like they have already reserved about half of the sites in the campground. Still plenty of spots available in the "G" loop, and the lodge usually always has rooms available.

Our Winnebago will be party headquarters this year! No wet tent, and protection from those nasty bears which Paula insists are lurking in the woods!

hey Reid, you buzzed on the apple pie hooch again or post under the wrong thread???

Reid it would be awesome if you and laurie could make it! It would be a straight shot up I-77 for you. That weekend is Paula's birthday so bring some of that apple pie with ya!

I dont think dave is taking into consideration how far west Nashville is.

Alan,

Glad to see you and Dana are going to come out! I think you'll like the lodge.

If anyone else is interested in the lodge, here is the link:

This is a great option for those who have small children and/or don't want to camp.

There are still plenty of sites available. But don't sit on the fence too long! As you can see from the pic below, the "F" and "G" Loops are already about half booked for that weekend. Once the weather starts to get nice, it will really fill up.

My recommendation is that you book a site now and cancel it later if your plans change.

I unfortunately spoke a little to early on this one as Laurie and I will be at a family reunion that weekend. At least the reunion will be fun as it's gonna be at Lake Gaston on the NC/VA line at cuz-in-law and fellow CCFan'er JMurph's place and we'll be there with his crew of skiers and multiple CC's. You guys represent for us there in OHIO as we wish we could be there.     

It pains me to type this, but it looks like we will not be able to attend as planned. For anyone interested, site G-7 will open up shortly...

randy you better have the winnie ready by then.
