4th Annual* Family Fishing and Camping Outing Paint Creek 2021

*Reminder - Those with campers that r not local, dont take Thriston Rd, only 7’ 3” clearance. Stay on Rt. 41.

Good call. Follow the signs, not the GPS. Greenfield is your last chance for supplies also. Not that it's far, but a good place to grab final things like drinks and ice if you want to save yourself some weight.

@Jackalope

Is there a way to keep this post as the "latest post"? That way everyone gets the message.

I assume you mean Thrifton Road as it appears there's a train bridge there just south of 28/138 that's the culprit. This is important for those coming in from the N for sure.

I assume there's a place to fill up with water when we pull in near the camp office, correct?

 

[giles]

Correct. On the left before you get to the camp office is the dump station. Random places throughout the campground for fresh water. We usually have enough hoses between everyone to reach one if you forget, not a big deal.

 

[5Cent]

Correct, right here, dont turn S. Guys farm drive is big enough to turn around/backup if necessary.

 

[giles]

But if you make it past that, the next guy has a fence installed to keep people from turning around.

Follow 41 south to Rapid Forge

I hope to land around noon on Thursday, camper isn't delivered until 3pm however.

 

[Isaacorps]

We’ll be down for the day on Saturday, pre-brunch arrival

 

[Redhunter1012]

We'll be down Friday sometime by 6 ish?

 

[5Cent]

We are still on track for Weds. late afternoon.

I was looking for boat rentals as I'd like to get the boys out on the water to fish and all I could find was they transfered all the boats over to Rocky Fork. Giles or Brock any insights?

 

[Dustinb80]

Firewood?

 

[5Cent]

Firewood?

I'll have my std 3 wheel barrow load. Prolly enough or 1-1.5 night.

 

[Dustinb80]

@Wildlife you did a great job with the fire wood at strouds, we certainly won't be having the same type of fire, but since you booked a site can you bring some?

Rocky is minutes down the road. That is where my camper parks now. Worth the 15 minutes if you want to check that box.

 

[bowhunter1023]

I'd pitch in on a boat ride if we can get my kids on too. I'll bring a good bit of firewood with me.

 

[5Cent]

I called the marina today, they were not open.

 

[giles]

They have multiple boats. I'm not sure if they are available this early though. I think they have 6.

 

[giles]

We thought about changing our campsite, but it's looking like some rain Saturday. So if you have pop-ups...we will have a handicap spot to set up in starting Friday. (She is going to call today to see if it opened up any earlier.)

 

[bowhunter1023]

We will bring a pop up.

 

[OhioWhiteTails]

We're bringing that screened in popup that we used for memorial day weekend last year.
