Can you do The Crawl and play poker?

The Hot Lips Camp Crawl & Poke Run event is a great way to meet new people and visit multiple sites around the campground. It's pretty much an afternoon progressive drinking party and poker run!

Fives stops are planned throughout the campground to sample craft cocktails, campfires and maybe some snacks. The Crawl will start at 1pm. The location of the first stop will be announced closer to the event and posted on social media and posted throughout camp.

Participation in the poker run is optional and designed to benefit our annual toy drive. Participants will donate $20 to the toy drive and receive a playing card at each stop in a sealed envelope. Envelopes will be opened at the last stop where the best hand wins and collects a special prize.
Reminders...
The updated schedule is designed to best serve guests.

Bathhouses will be closed for cleaning in the afternoons as noted above. Facilities also receive attention in the mornings without closing.
We can always use more volunteers for event weekends to help prep, serve and cleanup for the lunches. It's fun "work" and a great way to meet new people too!

The newly revised website is loaded with tons of important, usable information.

Visit
Pool is fully open again this season with no restrictions other than normal, safe practices. Be responsible for your own safety and good health.
Hot Tub is open. Restrictions have been lifted and guidance is posted at the hot tub entrance. Safe practices are expected, and each user is responsible for his own safety.
Volleyball in the pool is back and on it's regular schedule. That is, volleyball is allowed during even hours of the day. Swimmers are asked to accommodate for safety reasons and for the good of the game players.
All indoor accommodations are available for renting. Plan early as these usually go fast. Check calendar for events and follow our various media outlets for more information.
Weather permitting, Meet & Greet is now scheduled for each Friday night, 8pm, at the fire pit behind the game room.
Cameras and video equipment use are restricted. This includes smartphone cameras. The capture and use of inappropriate images without consent of all parties involved is a violation of campground policy.
 Bookmark it, make it a favorite and check it often.
 The weeks and weekends are simply fabulous here.
