More info on the Thomas Reunion Site

Kevin and I drove down to Palisade State Park yesterday to get a better idea of the layout of the park and the group camping site that we reserved. FEEL FREE TO LEAVE A COMMENT AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS BLOG ENTRY.

Here is a view of the Sanpitch group campsite that we have reserved. As you can see, it was occupied at the time, so I couldn't get a good picture of the pavillion but you can see it in the background. There's a pretty grassy area. One sad note-- there is no campfire spot, just barbeque grills. The next picture is of the parking lot (and an added bonus photo of me taking the shot-- no charge!). There is plenty of parking.



Here is a view of Palisade Lake. I should have taken a few more shots of the lake. It really is beautiful and larger than I expected. Our campsite is right next to the lake. There are canoes and paddleboats available for rental. I hope Sam and Viv will bring their inflatable canoes. Be sure and bring your life jackets, especially for the little kids! Motorized boats are not allowed.


This playground is probably a 5-10 min. walk from our camp.


There are two showers in the ladies restroom. They looked pretty clean to me. I assume the showers in the men's restroom were similar. (We've certainly showered in worse! Mantua comes to mind!)



You can see the two trailer campsites we have reserved. They are the empty one in front and the one with the motorhome. This shot is taken from the groupsite entrance so you can see that it is very close. These camp spots have full hook-ups so we will have electricity, comfort for cooking, napping babies, and things like that.
