Yes, the weekend dates are July 13 - 15, and no reason some can't be there longer if they choose.
If there are no forest restrictions on burning, due to dry conditions as last year, we certainly will have a campfire going most of the time, and wood is plentiful nearby. If we have "no burn" restrictions again due to lateness of rain, we have the option of choosing another nearby location for the camp - if that is most favorable to the most folks. TBD later when we know the conditions.
The location we used for the "camp" last summer was chosen because it was very close to the lake and ramp, and to two FS privies, and because we expected few other campers there that might be bothered by our aged antics. It is not an actual campground (tables, etc.) so no reservation is required. It's just that some of us have to get there early enough to stake out our area - easily done last year. We have to drive about three miles or so from there to the shooting ground used last year.
There are actual campgrounds nearby as well and, as normal, they are inhabited by whomever shows up - and some of those may not be much like our style. There is at least one very nice "no reservation" campground with privy a few miles from the lake, and a good thing about that one is that shooting can be done very close by - just out of camp - and rarely is it a busy place.
Then finally, if there are no fire restrictions and if we choose, there is the whole darn national forest right there with unending good places to camp and shoot - and the forest is your privy.
It will all turn out OK, just need to get closer and see the situation.
