Now is the time to start planning. Any ideas on a place by a lake with a large Group Camp? I"m thinking mountains somewhere.. burned out of being fogged in at the beach in August...

Crater Lake? One of the most beautiful places I can think of.

Crater Lake sounds like a good idea to me.

Hambone has me hooked on the Clackies though, lots of good spots up there and it is 'free' camping.

I've always wanted to go to Crater Lake.. and will..however, not sure it's best for a big bus group. Reservations are really tight.. can anyone who's been there shed any light? I'm more than happy to go there if you think it will work out.

August is a long way off! If I'm still alive or un-crazy I'll go.....
There are a bunch of "pocket lakes", some with campgrounds, all scattered around the Oregon Cascades. Even camping next to rivers can be nice.

Barring any unforeseen catastrophe I'm in. So what are we talking here? Primitive camping or campground? I'll tell ya, campgrounds with all the amenities have their place but primitive camping like this past weekend is where it's at.

Yep it was real nice for this time of year. Not a drop of rain 'till Sunday morning. Check out the thread for links to photos and video.

I just posted some pix too. I must say, I'm partial to the wilderness experience; it's nice having a couple mountains all to yourself. Primitive campgrounds are nice too.

I was just telling Sommer we should plan a bus campout some where in the Oregon Outback. Silver/Summer lake area? Hot springs, Cowboy Dinner Tree? Something like that?
