Ten (10) Reservations are currently available for the Summer 2010 Yellowstone National Park Trip

Six campsites were booked to accommodate 24 campers so space will be limited to only 24 people. There are currently six (6) people who would like to sell their reservations for this trip. If you are interested in purchasing a reservation for this trip please contact the sellers directly (note that those selling their reservations have updated their RSVP's to include their contact information).

Those Purchasing Reservations:
After purchasing a reservation please contact Dale or Shannon so that we can add your name to the RSVP list.

Those Selling Reservations:
Please update your RSVP to include your phone number and include a statement that you are selling your reservation(s). After selling a reservation please contact Dale or Shannon so that we can remove your name to the RSVP list.

We booked only Six campsites (enough to accommodate 24 campers) at Canyon Campground for the nights of July 20, 2010 through July 25, 2010.

ONLY TWO TENTS ARE ALLOWED PER CAMPSITE (STRICTLY ENFORCED BY NPS).
This means we will have to SHARE tents, at least two people per tent and four people per campsite. Please make your own arrangements to share a tent and car pool.

Please note that they strictly enforce the following campsite regulations, and violations will result in an expensive citation:
1) Maximum tents per campsite of either “One” 12"x12" tent or “Two” 8"x8" tents,
2) Maximum people per camp site at any one time is 6 and group gatherings are not allowed,
3) No unattended / unsecured food, water, etc. (anything not properly stored in bear lockers), and
4) No open fires allowed (gas and charcoal grills are allowed).

The $40 per person reservation fee includes six (6) nights of camping in Canyon Campground for the nights of July 20, 2010 through July 25, 2010.

All other associated costs (food, transportation, park entrance, etc.) will be your responsibility. Each person must arrange for his or her own transportation.

Hey Dale and Shannon, will there be room at the sites for RV's or should I reserve my own? Thanks, Charlie

Hey Dale, just got off the phone with campground reservation. Due to our large group they highly suggest staying at Bridge Bay campground. More room, easier to get sites next to each other, close to the lake, in a nicer setting, etc. I will also be allowed to have 1 12x12 tent on my RV site if anyone is interested. Thanks.

I can appreciate that Dale, thanks for the feedback.

My understanding was deposits were due later this week. I was one of the first 10 people to RSVP but my status was changed for me. I'm curious what happened.

I also would love to go if there is any more room. I saw the e-mail last week that RSVP's/pymt was due by 1/28, and when I went on today to RSVP and pay, I saw that the number of spots available has now been reduced. I hope a spot opens up!

Sorry Michelle and everyone else who got bumped. We had to make the reservations for 5 sites while we still had time. We couldn't wait until the 28th. We are now full. Please place yourselves on the waiting list.

I made my own reservations at Canyon Campground for July 20-26. I would like to attend the planning meeting so I can join you guys on hikes and also for info on driving there. Hope that's ok :)

Thanks Dale! My reservation is for "1 8'x4' Tent, No Large Tent, or RV," so I don't even think there would be room for anyone else. Very curious to see what my site will look like; apparently there are a lot of trees. . .

A friend of mine would like to go. Any chances that more spots will open up?

you all get to call me the weakest link, but: I booked a room at Canyon Lodge and Cabin within the park $101 plus tax / nite for 3 nites. 2 single beds, room mates welcome... so I will be well rested for all the hikes, ha.... plan on renting a car with stops (sites TBD) there and back; anyone else interested, let me know; maybe rent a van ???

Hey everyone. I apologize, but I did not realize that my profile was set up to not receive e-mails directly. I changed it. I already got the second ticket I needed for Yellowstone, but I sent a blast e-mail to another group inviting others. Hopefully, we will be fully booked for this trip soon.

I am so sorry to have to back out of this trip! Circumstances both in and out of my control are forcing me to cancel. I will do my best to continue to promote the trip so as to pick up spots from those who have paid and cannot go... Charlie

Dale,
I will not be able to make to this trip. I have a family issue that I can't be away for that long. I will change my RSVP and I have 2 tickets to sell. Thanks

If anyone is not in a hurry to get home, I recommend a detour to Cody, WY. The Buffalo Bill Historical center is an amazing museum, with one of the best (if not THE best) collections of Plains Indian art/artifacts I have seen.

This was a fantastic trip for me. I really enjoyed the people and all the country that I got to see. It was great to see all the wildlife so close. Just got home today (thursday). A wonderful trip.
