Anyone else planning on being there??

We'll be there Fri night, Sat, and leave Sunday afternoon. Got a bunch of Michigan peeps taking over a campsite or 2 or 3. We'll have party lights and brownies.

I will have to check my calendar - I haven't been wet for a while (unless you count the pools sessions for my DM class right now). Most weekends are killed by the DM class, but not the holiday weekend!

I think I may be able to join you!

I'll also look at the date if you don't mind a diving BUCKEYE with your Michigan crew! I stay posted here.
 
What is the camp ground like? I am considering it myself. It has been a long, long time since I have been to Whitestar. Does the quarry own the campground? Any information would be helpful.

Thanks!

The quarry is a county park, and the campground part is across the street, you have to drive back and forth for camping and diving, not quite co-located.

Jeff,

The quarry and campground are both owned by the Sandusky county park district. Information is on their website: Sandusky County Park District

"White Star Campground is across from the park's main entrance. Primitive sites are $15 per site per night. Sites with water hook-up & electric hook-up are $25 per site, per night. Campground is open April 1 - December 31 and each site includes a table and fire ring.'

The electric sites are pretty new and thus don't have any shelter from trees.

I've always stayed in the primative sites. The cost is now $15 but that is for a site. Two units can be on each site thus splitting the cost. The trees are such that two or three sites are bordered by trees separating groups of campers.

o There are pit toilets that are just like the ones at the quarry. & they are well maintained.
o There is a newish bath house that has pit toilets, electricity and running water.
o There are a few mechanical pumps for general use to get water for the primative sites.
o As a county park no alcohol is allowed but I've never known anyone to have an issue if the group doesn't disturb anyone.
o There is typically a pile of brush and wood for the campers to use if they are willing to chop it up a bit.

My take.

The more the merrier!!

We are leaving Friday evening so, let me know if you want a space saved...if we can.

We don't mind diving with a buckeye if you don't mind our limey Brits. :D No, really,
we have a few!
 
Hey thanks Paula!!

I haven't been there yet, but, most of our group has.

Have fun this weekend!!!

Man wish i could get away! Would be a great weekend!

Unless some miracle occurs.. I don't see it happening :<
 
As others have said, the campground is not too bad, other than driving over to dive. If all goes well hopefully my wife and I will be there to dive also and are planing on camping there.
