You can also find us at the site. We have a Beaver Contessa Motorhome that has Ohio plates R Jacks and is white with gray and bronze stripes. Please call or stop by; we all want to help with any questions you might have.
Most of us will be parked in the Oasis area. When that area is booked there will be discounted parking near the pet walk area. There are discounted pet-friendly units available also if you don’t have an RV or tent.
Phone Service in The Park
Phone service in the park is not always very great. Based on past events here we have found that text messages tend to have a better result.
Bark in the Park

The Jerry Menzel Band is a local favorite that plays oldies, rock and roll, and blues. We will be selling 50/50 raffle tickets to benefit our club.
