UPDATE
We made it up to Lake Gillette for the weekend. Most trails are open and they were perfect this weekend, looks to be about the same for the Spodefest.
We checked out the campground and there are some options
To coordinate, if you are going to make it, email me at
bbbom1@excite.com when you think you will be there, where you want to stay -
Choices are:
Sherry Creek - approx 5 campsites, very isolated, near a nice creek, access to trailheads, no amenities except a picnic table, first come first serve approx 2 miles from the Beaver Lodge site. Free and some nice loops closeby for kids to ride in allllllll day.
Beaver Lodge Upper or Lower Campground - approx 40 between the two campsites, not isolated, access to trails, amenities as needed, reservations taken or show up & should be able to camp there. Kid friendly trails available but no loops. $10 - $16 per night
USFS Campsites - approx 40 campsites, not isolated, have to push ORV out to the road then ride to trail or haul to trail, all the amenities. First come first serve. $10 per night. (My least favorite place).
We will be arriving Friday afternoon and staying through Monday. There are some logs across some of the trails but most of them are open. We cleared some of the easier trails this weekend and many were already open.
