Just a few questions from a PP Ball newb:

1)  Is there a picnic table at each campsite?  (The campground looks like a big, open field from the satellite view.)
2)  Is it okay to park by your tent or is there a separate parking area? 
3)  Do we need to bring drinking water or water for washing dishes?
4)  Are there showers?  (Yeah, I know.  This is probably wishful thinking...)
5)  Do we have to register or check-in with the campground owners/operators when we get there?
6)  Is it okay to arrive on Friday?

Thanks,
John

Day-um! That's alot of fine swag there!!!!!

Doggie, here's the answers to your questions as best I know, until someone more qualified comes in:

1- No tables, yeah it's just a big field by an orchard
2- Yep, park by your tent is OK
3- I believe there is a hose that's OK to use, but might be good idea to bring some of your own anyway.
4- There's a huge running bathtub right by camp several thousand cfs worth
5- PP should have volunteers checking people in. last year they did that by the campfire area, not sure if it's the same this time
6- Fo' shizzle

1) No
2) Yes (parking is generally near your tent, but it is kind of a free form event that way, i.e.
you'll need to try to self organize with the other event goers. Seems to generally work out.
3)Yes. Absolutely bring your own water just to be safe. Also, be extra conscious to pack all of your own garbage out. This ain't Woodstock.
4) No. Questions like that will no doubt arrouse suspicion. What kind of dirt bag kayaker are you?
5) Something like that, but it ain't all that official. There won't be any octagenarians chasing you around in a golf cart. Maybe in about 50 years, I'll be there to fulfil that role, but I doubt it.
6) Absolutely. Hope to see you there!

Two comments on JP's Answers.

This year we are going to try and have seperate parking and camping areas so that no one gets blocked in or has there tent run over. We are hoping to have a large turn out so we want to be sure to have plenty of room for everyone.

Also, This is not a "campground" It's private property on loan to us. The check in will be on the way in. Hopefully via a maned check in table.

Please everyone bring cash. We can not take plastic. We will make a price list post later today but camping will be $10 and All you can drink beer will be $10 (you will get a wristband)

We realize this is more than most kaykers usualy pay for camping (free) but that is because we are raising money to help support Matt Thomas. Please keep that in mind, this is a party but also a fundraiser.

By all means bring the rafts. We can definitely use more safety. Still not sure which run it's going to be on until we check levels later in the week. May open another category for rafts if there is enough interest.

Pernick! Sounds like you need to throw yer helmet into the ring!

All you need is two R2 teams to race. That's two rafts and four people (unless you want to have an R1 race!
 
Anyway, I would potentially consider it, if extra partners are needed. No gaurantees though till the event and we see what all is going on.

Sadly, neither me or my boat will be makin' down to the crick on Saturday.  I'll be wearin' the ol' eye patch somewhere else in the valley..(gotta make that little boat pay)


I'd be stoked to do some R2 creeking any time after saturday morning though...

When you pack up your gear for the weekend, be sure to prepare for all weather. A cold front is moving in and the weather even on the east side is expected to be chilly for this time of year and some rain is even possible. So, don't forget to bring your EZ-up or wing.
