I can go either way. But I'm guessing my wife would prefer a paid campground site.

Might try to bring my wife and nieces. We would probably stay at the pay campgrounds. I am only an Uncle but I understand the benefits of having facilities when there are kiddos.

We already had a camping trip planned the July 4th weekend or I'd entertain the idea. We have three boys now with one only being 8 months old so it would have been doubtful anyways that she would have been into it. Maybe next year. Still might come out for the day sans kids though, we'll see..

Unfortunately I don't know if there are any campsites that are even available, they all look booked up. Salmon La Sac http://www.recreation.gov/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NRSO&parkId=70321&topTabIndex=CampingSpotThe other option is French Cabin Creek there are at least porta potties that are over there.

Assuming this is one of the campgrounds managed by Hoodoo--the Oregon-based corporation, which manages Forest Service campgrounds throughout Washington- and Oregon--40 percent of the camp sites should be available until the day someone walks into the campground and claims them. That's because the Forest Service requires that 40 percent of all campsites should be walk-up campsites, meaning they can't be reserved ahead of time. If you get there early, like say, the Thursday of, we should have no problem acquiring several spaces. I think the amenities of the campground and the nature of the event--families and kids, who will want to ride bicycles--warrants the extra effort. Perhaps if we know of anyone in the area, s/he could reserve it for us. Or a few of us with extremely flexible schedules could head up there Thursday and claim a few group sites.

I don't know anything about this hoodoo, but I am game to head up on Thursday. Ideally another willing boater should go too so I can sneak off for a little friday lapage during afternoon nappage.
I will reserve as many sites as people want so just let me know if you want me to snag one. We should be able to double down in a few places too since the sites all say 6 people per site.

Beth says 'she'll share a site with Christian and family" but not with the master of mayhem. too be clear the Hay cyn stories have circulated into mainstream gossip. anyways hope to be there... we'd totally pay for site but that's contingent on availability.

We'll be up most likely on Saturday morning and would be up for paying for two nights to help out with a spot.

My wife and 1 month old Theo will be going over Saturday morning thru Sunday. I've been gone from PP for so long, I was just told of this event by the Brigs.

Kelsie and I can make it out friday night with Wilder. If pay camping falls through, Kelsie and I will likely camp up at China Point, a spot overlooking the Cle Elum and China Falls about 1/2 mile up the hill from Salmon la Sac. Looking forward to it, I'll be trying to get in a lap Friday evening about 6 if anyone wants to join!

Cool see ya out there chipper. If the pay camping falls through we are going to head over to the French Cabin Creek Area. That is the best spot for families with small kids since there are no cliffs, or swift currents near by, there is also a porta potty out there. I will shoot out an update on Thursday when we head over.
** We will probably head over Thursday in the late day, and then on Friday I have to make one or two calls so I can bump an update with the Camping options based on what we find thursday night. ***

So excited about this! Especially because I *just* found out this is happening.
Our kids are 7 and 9, they love to raft. And my husband is going to fly fish, I'm sure he'd be happy to take people along.

Tell your husband ... Stoneflies and streamers. Sink Tips and Intermediate lines for the area where we camp down by the res. Big residents down there a few weeks ago I caught several right around 20" and plenty in the high teens.
If he is packing his rod into the Cooper be prepared for smaller and battered stockers. I have caught a few bulls in there but mostly they are stockers from the lake that get washed over all the falls. They are missing scales and pretty beat up.

Ditto - I can send money via PayPal to help cover the cost right away.

My family and I are heading out first thing Friday morning. Probably around 6 to 7 am since that is when were up and running everyday. Considering the number of people that we have I am going to make the first stop Salmon La Sac camp ground . If they have more than 2 open spaces I am going to go ahead and reserve them. I will pay for up to 6 spaces since that seems like more than enough for the number of people we have. We can settle out the costs afterwards. If there are not openings at the actual campground then I am probably going to just get all set up out at French Cabin Creek since it is the second best place and there are still plenty of bike friendly riding areas and fun stuff for kids to explore, with the added bonus of no cliffs and dangerous stuff. So first thing check the Salmon La Sac Campground. If no one is there or it is full go here: https://goo.gl/maps/04niv
GPS : 47.353474, -121.112047 Also since Cell phones don't work back there feel free touch base on CB Channel 7. I will leave my radio on while were at camp just in case anyone calls.
