Jack, and those of you who are anxious to reserve a campsite...
Apparently the website of reserveamerica is having problems :frustrated: , I talked to someone directly at the park.. She remembers the group from last year and was thrilled there will be another one this year.
She didn't know what was wrong with the website but recommended we call 877-226-7652 in Baton Rouge on MONDAY. Yes, it is a federal holiday but they will be open. They will be closed Tuesday for Mardi Gras :P

Just to be sure I'm on the right page, the dates on the old thread showed the gathering as Saturday, Sunday, and leaving on Monday. Now, there is a gumbo thing on Friday.

Do I have my meds mixed up again? I hate it when I do that.

When am I supposed to get there, and when do I go home?

Hey MadJack, I have never reserved with Reserve America, what does is cost to make reservation there at Lake Bisteneau?

The web site is still down, and I am curious.

Thanks,

Mk

Mary K,
You coming up??
It's $18 an night and a small reservation fee. Mine was $57 for Fri, Sat and Sun. I think you have to pay the first night to reserve.

There is also an option to make a minimum payment (which is the first night). You pay the rest when you get there, I suppose.
