I will bring a deep fryer, oil, butter (caramelized onions), sherry (sauteed mushrooms), serving trays and utensils, griddle to cook bacon, onions, mushrooms, etc, cutting boards, slicers, 40 cup coffee pot and maybe the kitchen sink if I have room.

Original Topic:
We were originally talking about Lackawanna SP and now we have changed to Frances Slocum SP.
(Lackawanna has limited size camping loops and the large loop doesn't allow pets.  They are changing that but not in time for this trip)

We are thinking about having a group rally at Frances Slocum State Park in the end of July.  Great wooded campground sites with a beautiful lake for kayaking and fishing, a beach, swimming pool, mountain biking and hiking trails and much more.

Peter and I would be interested. Since that is only 20 minutes away from our seasonal site, rather than bring up the pup we might just come on down for the events and get togethers and go back to our seasonal site to sleep.

I'm trying to finalize a few things with the date and location.  The state park website is down and not helping much.  There are two electric loops but only one that is pet friendly and it's the smaller one.  🙁

Interested.  Do not yet have weekend work schedule for the summer, so it'd be up in the air for us for awhile yet.

Did a group trip with MAC and we ended up split between the loops due to pets.

If there are any train buffs here, Steamtown is close enough for an easy side trip, too.

It looks like we will have a pet waiver for this campground and have all the sites in the Carpenter Loop. 
The dates and waiver aren't finalized so don't book yet.

Depending on the date I may be in. We are doing our big vacation to Punta Cana the second week of July.

Our season site is just 20 miles to the north of Lackawanna, so we won't be staying on site. We will come down on Saturday afternoon/evening for Potluck and Bonfire, then go back to our seasonal site in Gibson to sleep.

That gives us the advantage of a full outdoor kitchen to prep food with.

Ok, I spoke to the park manager again this morning and they have submitted to the state to change the Carpenter loop at Lackawanna SP to a pet loop but it won't be approved in time.  He isn't comfortable making that decision on their own.

How about Frances Slocum State Park?  There are over 30 electric sites available in the Stony Point Loop with a dozen as pet sites.
Hiking -Mountain Biking - Picnicking - Swimming - Boating - Fishing - Hunting - Education - Sledding - Ice Fishing - Ice Skating
There will not be ice skating available this weekend.  :rofl:

Don't book yet, I'm trying to know if there is interest to camp here?
