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.

No "official" sponsor  Just the campers within the club.  @campfiresmiley

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?   

[lovebus (jack)]

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.

[Beetleboi -Greg-]

Too far... too expensive... but I'll go anyway.

Count me in for 1 pet friendly site.  Who do I make reservations with?

[Fire Lady (Michelle)]

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

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!)
