Then you can return if you want for another 14 days, and so on. It's nice when parks are close together like they are in the southern part of the state, but some of them, like my favorite, Bluewater Lake State Park, are off by themselves, then you have to get creative for the six days. Wal-marts! <br /><br />I don't make reservations, but the parks I like the most are very large and most of them have good overflow areas where you can drycamp. I'd guess the electric sites fill quickly because some of the parks have limited elec sites, so reservations would be a good idea if you want an elec site. I think reservations must be made on-line and there's a fee of $12 (I think) to make the reservation. Also - no refunds. Sometimes it's just easier to dry-camp if you have solar, unless it's super hot or super cold. :)Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516591720277269204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380348623382527060.post-71685091827062752512014-04-13T20:41:31.346-06:002014-04-13T20:41:31.346-06:00What a great site for you and Katie!
