Title: Closest Campout in South Jersey (aka Buses In The Barrens)
Post by: Fire Lady (Michelle) on June 16, 2011, 01:52:02 pm
August 4-7 (Thursday to Sunday)

Belleplaine State Forest on Woodbine, NJ

Camping, biking, swimming, boating, campfires, smores, potluck dinner and kids activities... all this in the woods and surrounded by VWs!!

Bring your bus, your beetle and a tent or whatever you have! They have certain sites requested so we can all camp together. I'll post the site #s soon if you want to book in advance.

Its technically hosted by Full Moon Bus Club and the couple that organizes it told us about it at Granny's. Tyler, Greg and I went to this event last year. There were some Limbo folks there also. We'll be bringing our bikes... and maybe the canoe..?.. This is super close!

Greg- don't forget your bathing suit this time... there will be way more people from our club with cameras there this time!!  LOL   #@rofl3


Pet friendly sites are 210-219, 222, 224, 228 and some others. Highly recommend reservations for this event, especially for the pet sites. We don't need a pet friendly site so we won't get one of those so we can save it for those that need it... but I'll ask Park Ranger which regular sites are really close. I think we'll stay Fri & Sat night... is that wat you guys were thinking?   
Title: Re: Closest Campout in South Jersey (aka Buses In The Barrens)
Post by: lovebus (jack) on June 21, 2011, 07:37:25 am
Is it only one bus per site?

Do we have to make our own reservations or are you doing it?

I'll only be there Fri and Sat also, leave sunday.

Title: Re: Closest Campout in South Jersey (aka Buses In The Barrens)
Post by: Fire Lady (Michelle) on June 21, 2011, 09:08:30 pm
This is a state park so rules are: 2 vehicles per site and up to 6 people for $20/night. If those in tents want to leave their vehicles at the office then they can share a site with buses.

I will call Belleplain tomorrow to find out how we can make reservations. I know with Atsion we had to take cash to the office. I don't know if this state park takes credit cards over the phone but I'll find out. I can tell you that when we went last year, there were plenty of open sites and there weren't many that pre-registered for this event. I realize we all want to camp together so I'll call and get details. (I copied and pasted the other post about "highly recommending reservations" from the Full Moon site, but they probably just want to know who all is coming). Its actually a very BIG campground with tons of sites.

I'm thinking we'll take Friday off so we can leave bright and early with those of you who don't work... Then we can enjoy more time in the lake  2@@cool

Post by: Fire Lady (Michelle) on June 22, 2011, 02:12:25 pm
I talked to Belleplain today... we don't need to make reservations since we're in a less often used area of the campground. (most poeple want to stay right by the lake in "North Shore") Plus they have 160+ sites and never sell out.

They will take credit cards by phone if you prefer to make your own reservations. Pick from sites 211-229 (though you can change when you get there to any open site).  Phone # on website.

If you want to see where we'll be (the Full Moon guy already reserved #226 which is the center of our area) go to website http://www.state.nj.us/dep/parksandforests/parks/belle.html and click Campground Map.    

We stayed on site #225 last year and it was nice (and right by the bathroom!)

Glen - I know what you mean, its just nice knowing you'll definitely have a home for the weekend... and in your case, your vacation! Excellent!  2@@cool

Just a head's up, you'll be on the next road over from FMBC, which makes us one more road away from the bathroom. (Its the little icon with the guy that's taking a shower... across the road from 238). I'm ok with this if you guys are, since we'll all want to camp next to each other... just wanted to mention since we've been there and know the layout.

We'll be bringing our bikes, so a ride to the bath house is no biggie. Knowing Jack, he'll count the # of steps to get to the bathroom...  =bana4_+

I dont care how far the bathrooms are.
 I was thinking that 214 backs up to full moon's site not knowing how the layout is and if we can get through.
We can always switch sites or migrate to each others sites?

This is the layout of site 213, 214, & 215.

On the right is 213, center where my bus is 215 on left sis 214  the sites aren't as far apart as the photo looks. I paid for 215 so if if you want to call for a site get 216, 217, 212,213, or 211. before they arre gone.
Glenn & Chriss are in 214
Shawn & I are in 215
Michelle & Greg in 213

Glenn & Chriss are in 214
Shawn & I are in 215
Michelle & Greg in 213
Rich in 212


I would suggest that the next sites to reserve is: 212, 216 & 217

We may fill up the whole road ourselves. You may want to bring some boards with you, some leveling may be needed but not much
@campfiresmiley  

Gleen, Myself and maybe Shawn will be there on Thursday

I don't think it matters if its pet free or not if your not bringing a pet.
The Whole area we are in is pet friendly.

216 is across from Jack and Shawn and is a smaller site.
There is a path to the Full Moon site from the back of it.


The Yurts Are Cool  2@@cool

So are the cabins but they look small.
(http://i681.photobucket.com/albums/vv178/Evil-Tunes/Web%20postings/IMG_0590.jpg)

I took a look at the Group site and #2 was big and Had its own Bathroom x2 would be perfect for a Future SJVWCC trip!!!
They said it was booked for this weekend already and is not pet friendly. bawlin)0

The lake was very inviting and the have canoe rentals and swimming . One of the campers told me there was no fish in there. :confused04:;

Greg- its the camping list you've been dreaming about... only we don't have to write it from scratch! Yea!!  Looks good too.

We are happy to bring both of our canoes for the club to use! But as Greg mentioned, we need another bus to put it on. Greg - you do know you'd have to take your roof rack off to put a canoe on it, right?  Plus we are heading down Friday morning... when are you coming?

Joe - 216 or 210 would be the next to pick from near us and those are both pet friendly.

Definitely want to go get custard. But if I have my "home" all set up, maybe we could ride our bikes there! Maybe there's a short cut through the woods..?..

Awesome tent Glenn! Is that bigger than the Taj Majal?!?!? Excellent!

Also, I didn't mean for you not to bring your canoe Glenn. You bring one AND we'll bring one, then we can go boating together! Yeah!! And other members can borrow ours and ride around, etc. (my other post just meant Yucel & I wouldn't need to bring both of the canoes we have... and Greg doesnt have to come all the way to Tabernacle to pick our 2nd one up)

Oh  Ok yea I am Brining the canoe. I just bought some rubber blocks and a Pool noodel so I can get the canoe on to of the bus.  I might be bringing a one person Kayak also if I can get the trailer hitch on the bus.

For Mexican night we're making tacos. Hard shell tacos with lettuce, tomato, cheese and sour cream.  2@@cool

That's right... vegetarian tacos! Hee-hee... just kidding! Definitely ground beef and that fabulous taco seasoning made by Old El Paso.  Sorry, thought that was implied... I'll be more specific next time.   ?/banghea?/

Didn't we think taco salads would be more managable last time we made tacos? Ill let Matt know u want the guac, not sure if we can make it when we get there or will have to prepare it a head of time. Was thinking about making chili. Though its not mexican, I think it will be a good choice. Who's got breakfast? Ill also bring smore stuff with DARK and milk chocolate and some other things to try!

So, Matt, if you or any other member need a overnight space last minute, friday and saturday night are all paid for under my name. As long as you don't mind sharing with JoeT site #212, you are good to go.

Shawn - our friend Zsolt does want to join us so if we can borrow a tent that would be great!  I'm not sure yet if he's bringing his son though so the Taj Mahal may be a little big just for him.  Would our queen size aero bed fit in your smaller tent? 

Also, we haven't talked about breakfast yet... what does everyone want to make?  I was thinking I might be able to convince Yucel to make blueberry pancakes one morning...

I will leave the monster tent home and bring the 2 smaller ones. The second is for Ramone if he needs it

As for breakfast.... You two dont get out of bed until the rest of us have been up for hours. Maybe you should concentrate on lunch and leave the breakfasts to the early risers  #@rofl3

Some one Just brought to my Attention....If your bringing a Pet camping this weekend you have to fill out a form at the office.

"Dogs and cats must have current rabies vaccinations. Written proof of the pet?s current rabies/distemper vaccine and license (if a license is required by the resident?s State) must be provided during the check-in process."

You can pre fill out the form    Here  (http://www.state.nj.us/dep/parksandforests/parks/docs/registration_certification_form.pdf)
Fron the Parks Website...
Pet Friendly Camping Pilot Program (http://www.state.nj.us/dep/parksandforests/parks/pet_friendly_camping.html)

I would have stated this earlier but just found out.  Twp license is a small fee w/proof of vaccine shots.

On my way to the vets. Q3surrender.gif

As passing trends go, the camper van is a fairly long-lived example. Combined with an anti-establishment passion that only the 1960s could inspire, Volkswagen's Westfalia conversions quickly attained cult status. For many folks, they retain that standing.

For some expertise on the subject, we tapped the following quoted passages from Graham Robson's 1996 book Volkswagen Chronicle, published by Publications International.

And then it says:
