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!) 

Thanks Michelle,

I just made Reservations for site 214 for Aug 4-7   clap2-* **^bana0 I feel better Knowing I have one Reserved. &^beer&

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.


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:;




I also found a Icecream shop about 1 mile away. &^beer&

Michelle has two canoes, if we want we can bring both or one. I can load the other canoe on my bus if we have enough ppl who want to do it.

You buy your own bus, and do what you want to your bus. I'll do what I want to so with mine. Pissing off purists one modification at at time.

I havent been camping in quite a few years.
I found a cool Check list to print out so I don't forget
some of the essentials like bug spray and garbage bags.
