Camping at InZane XXI
Gregory Scott 16248:
I'm looking to camp also. I have a 30 ft. toy hauler and would like to know what campground everyone is thinking about staying at? I'm coming from Pittsburgh and that's about a 4 hour drive. Let's see if we can all pick a the same campground.

Lake Snowden is the one we checked out. It's about 8 minutes from the hotel. If you guys post your space numbers when you reserve, you can kind of stay in a group.

I just got off the phone with the University that owns the Lake Snowden Campground. I left a message and the lady called me back almost immediately!
While the University owns the campground, they don't directly administer it. She told me there is no one in the camp office until March the first. I was asked to call back at that time. The number she gave me for the campsite directly is: (740) 698-6373. That number is listed on the website but goes now to a mailbox that is full.
It appears there is no way to make reservations prior to that date. (YES, I PUT THAT DATE IN MY CALENDAR! 8)
She also told me the Hill Top Loop in the campground is the one with more power and water connections than other loops, but that it also has the highest percentage of "seasonal" campers. I asked what that meant and found that to be their definition of long term site holders (I would guess it to be analogous to season ticket holders at sporting events).
Anyway, that's all I know at the present. I'm still investigating the area, but "the pickin's is looking a bit slim".
This is probably a good place from what I can see, but their organizational skills appear to be lacking. I suspect that is due to them being a University and not a professional campsite management organization.
It's still gonna be GREAT! :cooldude:

I called Lake Snowden numerous times today to reserve a campsite and it appears that the voice-mailbox is still full. (No answer) I checked out the campground on Facebook and from what I gather on that page is that they will be open on March 4th.
If someone gets through to them before March 4th, please let the rest of us campers know.
BudMan:
Well, the March 1 target for Lake Snowden was obviously a bit optimistic on their part! Numerous attempts at contact finally resulted in speech with a human. Said contact; however, resulted in yet another mailbox. (This one at least did not claim to be full.)
We will attempt yet another contact on the suggested 4 March date.
We have been referred to their (greatly lacking) website for "more information".
