What we’re about
Our purpose is to create a fun group camping club for DFW area campers over age 50. We are primarily tent campers but RVs are welcome.. Several of our members kayak, paddle board, ride bikes, hike or fish.
Each member is responsible for reserving their own campsite or coordinate with a member who has a reserved site and is willing to share. A Yes RSVP does not mean a site will be provided to you. Each member needs to make their own site arrangements.
If you reserve a site and have room to share, post a comment under the event and how you can be contacted to make sharing arrangements. Campers with a reserved site are responsible for managing their own site and are not obligated to share their site. If you share a site with a camper who reserved a site, please be courteous and pay your share of the camping fees to the camper who paid for the reservation.
Typically, there is a potluck group dinner during each camp out. Participation in potluck meals is not required. Campers are on their own for all other meals but you are free to coordinate with other campers as you wish. The Event Host will post a comment about the meal and members who want to attend the meal respond with what they are bringing. Bring your own beverage.
