More likely “yes”

I guess it depends on how you are traveling. Tent camping is likely less crucial to have a reservation.

I have been there 5-6 times and depending on local events, it was wide open.

The one time I had a camper, the spaces were more limited.

The spaces are not all created equal. The tent spots along the creek are more desired as well as the RV Camper sites.

My favored 2 spots have usually been open. They are along the creek and are near bathrooms, but not too close. They all have “renegade” electrical outlets. Basically you can plug in a phone or charger into a light pole on the down low while at camp. They are also shaded in the right times of day. I don’t care about shade in the late evening or early morning. But I prefer not having the sun beat on me after getting back from riding at 4:30 to 6pm and having to wait to take a shower or start cooking dinner.

The website and attendants when you call are usually really good. Ask them how booked they are.

I often have found myself when I was not looking, nor did that discovery take place where I thought it would!

I’ve always wondered what Devil’s Lake N.D looks like. I just made a route in Basecamp that takes me from Winnipeg into the town of Devil’s Lake, then across a couple of bridges over the lake, then to my first night’s stop in Velva N.D…... Neat.

So if we register and include the steak dinner, should it show $35 as the total? Because right now, it says $0 before final order placement. Are we supposed to pay you directly or bring cash or...?? :)

"T" you must be doing something wrong as it showed $35 when I tested it and when Bob Collings registered. Did you click the quantity button to "1'?

Incorrect and I just verified it by doing it again. I even agreed to your gay terms of service. Sent you text with the screenshot.

Hopefully you were smart enough to actually read the TOS... Wheatie is going to be looking for his "Room Service" after dinner.
