Crash, I just made reservations, solo. I've booked site A014, Thursday - Sunday.

Edit: Change of plans, can you say Road Trip. I'll be coming with Mrs. YellowYak and staying until Saturday. We're then going to head up to New Albany, IN for a few days to visit my sister, then to my brother's home in Greenville, SC for a couple of days.

barring anything unforeseen, I will look into making reservations when I get back to town after this July trip up to the mountains.

You guys need to bring your canoes and kayaks.

I'd bring a strong rope and a snorkel. All those canoe wrecks? Gotta be some kinda arsenal down there.

That is funny right there!

How do canoes work with registration and everything down there? I have 14 footer that is registered for Ohio, but I never have taken the thing out of state. I doubt I'll take it with me still, but I am entertaining the idea.

No motor, no registration required.

It's been many years since I've been to that area. I hope I can hike and mountainbike some. It's beautiful in the fall.

Must admit that the WSF Jamboree takes this forum to another level. Don't know how I missed this thread until now, but I'll be following it for the 9th Annual WSF Jamboree. Hope Y'all have a Great time. (don't forget the S'mores)

**pgvoutdoors** · 09-18-2016, 08:58 PM

Count me in Crash, I've reserved site A18

**pgvoutdoors** · 09-19-2016, 02:26 AM

I'm going to get a 3-day fishing license for Friday - Sunday. If anyone knows anything about the fishing in that area, please pass along the scoop. I'll bring both my fly fishing and spin fishing gear.

**pgvoutdoors** · 09-19-2016, 02:33 AM

I will not be bringing a boat, can't put it on top of the new car, but I will rent one if needed.

PVG just a heads up,

better get your fishing license as you go through the nearest small town, peobably Onieda, TN. If you are coming down off I-75 you might have to go a few miles out of your way. BSF is right on the KY/TN line and there are no towns with a Walmart or any real conveniences on the recommended routes in from KY, and the KY stores do not sell TN licenses.

I'll be sure to do that, Thanks!

Talking with the people at the campground today - if you are using GPS to get there it is best to put in

Bandy Creek Loop
Oneida, TN

The mailing address listed on their site will not get you to the campground.
