Event/Show/Campout news and reviews / Westies In The Woods Stokes Forest NJ May 24-27 2013

Howdy,

Westies In The Woods is in its 22nd continuous year.

As many LIMBO members are aware, and if you are not I will offer a short update.

As of approx 6 years ago Stokes Forest imposed a limit on the amount of vehicles allowed on group sites. Past promoters of Westies In The Woods decided to not run the event anymore because of this issue.

I took over the event so that there was no lapse in its continuity.

This past year Stokes Forest also raised the fee for campers, with out of state residents paying a little more.

As of the date of this posting there are 10 spots available. The event fills up every year and everyone has a good time.

The fee is a PER VEHICLE fee, and is for the entire weekend.

$30 for in state residents
$40 for out of state residents

Saturday night is Pot Luck Dinner and Sunday morning is most likely going to be a waffle cook out.

As soon as you pay, your spot is reserved. There are no refunds.

Any questions please let me know.

Thanks
Kevin

Howdy,

I know this is extremely short notice and for that I appologise but here is the deal........

Westies In The Woods has been going on for the past 4 years and I (Kevin Joyce) have been running it. Unfortunatly 5 years ago the park came up with new rules and the amout of vehicles allowed at each group site has been limited. At that time there was a bunch of complaining from VW members about the new Park Rules.

At the end of that fateful weekend 5 years ago I thought to myself, how much I enjoyed coming to Stokes, as it was so close to home. How nice the field was to camp in, and how fairly clean the showers and toilets usually were. So I asked a bunch of people that were there that fateful weekend, if I took it over, would anyone still come.

Enough people said yes for me to keep the tradition going. This year will be the 21st continuous year.

The first year I took it over it filled up with all the regulars without me having to get any word out.

The previous 2 years it would have also filled up, if the people that promised me that they were coming, actually showed up. Having saved a valuable spot for them, only to have them not show up and allow someone else to enjoy it, has forced me to run this limited space event as a first come first serve.....or in other words the people that pay me first are the ones that come.

I don't care who those people are........and I dont pick and chose who is in or not. You pay me......I still have a spot left.....your in.

In prior years I keep it on the down low as far as LIMBO was concerned as I was aware that Jon Kleckner had his campout, I cant remember where, but I know it was the same weekend, not far away. So not wanting to step on his toes, although I advertised it on other websites I never mentioned it here.

Well...low and behold....I received word just this past week that Jon wants to come to my campout.......so I checked this sites event page....and see his is not listed.

So thats the long version.

Here is the short version.

Westies In the Woods is still going on in Stokes Forest New Jersey.
It is the weekend of  the 25th to the 28th.
It is a LIMITED SPACE (Not my rules...The Parks Rules) event.
As of today 5-15-12 I have 5 spots left.
It is $15 for the whole weekend.
I need payment by the 18th.
I take Paypal.
I will need the names of the people in your party attending and the license plate number of the vehicle they are coming in (not my rules....Parks rules)
Saturday night is Pot Luck Dinner.
Sunday Morning is Waffles for everyong cooked by Ed.

I have taken it upon myself to keep this tradition going as best I can, and was just letting LIMBO members now know about it, as like I mentioned, I do not see Jon's event listed anymore, as he'll be enjoying the weekend at mine.

Sorry for any spelling errors that may have occured above.

Thanks Much
Kevin
