Upon further discussion with others, Bighorn67 and myself, are planning a VETERAN'S DAY JHO CAMPOUT at Ventura. We are going to head up to Ventura for some surf fishing and family camping. Both camps are within walking distances of each other. Possible to do a 1/2 or 3/4 boat out of Ventura on one of the days for the JHOers. Potluck dinners on some of the nights. While this is not the 'roughin it' type of camping, it does make it nice to bring the family and spouses. If you don't fish, you could head into Ventura and, dare I say http://www.jesseshunting.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smiley-cool-shades-down.gif , shop. Or maybe take a side trip into Santa Barbara. Also, on Veteran's Day, there are some nice ceremonies in the area.
Any thoughts?
The Plan:
There are two choices of camps: One is to make reservations at VENTURA BEACH RV RESORT - RV sites are $37.40/night; Tent spots with water and electric are $33/night http://venturabeachrv.getwebnet.com/
We might be able to use the activity room for a JHO Potluck
The second other spot is EMMA WOODS BEACH CAMPGROUND: either NORTH (family) or GROUP.
GROUP: min of 9 people (fees: Primative [sites 1-4] is $66 or RV [1 site] is $186) Fee would have to be divided between the users. There seems to be no open reservations for the group sites (5 of them) on Friday night. I will try to call tomorrow to see about that fact.
