Did I see that someone said that all campsites have gone to reservation only, or did I imagine this? Can someone please clarify. I want to drive up Friday evening after I finish work, but won't get there until close to 10 p.m. All my years there, I've been able to swing through and grab an empty site. Is this still possible? I am in desperate need of time on the LMF.
Thanks!

I believe you are correct. I've posted the link below. If you are camping this week, it is too late to book online. I've booked a few dates this winter....site specific. Have a good trip!

The tent areas (grapevine, hickory, dogwood, etc...) are either not listed at all or listed as walk-in, so I would assume the procedure in that case is (so far) unchanged.

I hope that to be the case as well. I'll be there next weekend for my first Fall trip of 2019, so I guess I'll find out one way or another. |

I'll share - either on Monday when I am back from camping, or tonight from the Charles Wesley if my plan fails  |

I think rv sites will/are reservation only and campsites are still first come first served

That would be correct.....only the electric/water sites need to be reserved. I believe the others are first come first served. I saw the park putting up signs earlier this year for the reserved sites.

There are 30 sites in C campground that can be reserved. Everything else is walk up. They plan to devote more sites to reservation status next year.

I had no problem getting a tent site at Grapevine as a walk-up. I believe I am going back up this weekend if anyone will be around!

Also, there was a guy with a lab at EH the last hour of the day, Saturday. He was throwing sticks into the river, though, for his dog to chase. You might need to teach him furry etiquette around the area if he is back this weekend:) |

I’m really hoping Aaron wasn’t lying to Pat and the log stops come out early.
The golf course has had a tournament every Saturday in September, high school tournament today, another tournament this Saturday then we will be aerating next week then I start spraying fairways. I’m ready for the end of October and November.

I talked with one of the ladies at the check-in area and she told me that they have no official word as to when the tent sites (and all others) will go to 100% online reservation. It sounds like it will most likely be a mess if they don't put a firm date on it with enough advance notice to get the word out and signs up in the tent areas that can hold the "Reserved" cards like in the RV areas.

Unless the rangers are diligent there'll be rogue campsites cropping up in the woods here and there.

When I've spoken to the desk people they made no bones about it. They really had no idea what the plans were for the future and didn't want to tell me some BS.

In light of all that is currently going on I was curious about the park and so I looked up the Facebook page and here is what was posted Thursday:
------------------------
COVID-19 Update - While we have made the difficult decision to temporarily close our park lodges, nature centers, group camps, dining halls and community buildings to future visits through April 15th, park cabins, campgrounds and RV sites - as well as outdoor public spaces and restrooms - will remain open at this time.
Park staff has been working to continuously clean throughout the day, focusing on high-traffic areas and high-touch surfaces. ------------------------
Many of us already know polite social distancing while fly fishing means leaving a nice stretch of water both upstream and down between yourself and the other fisherperson.
It also means getting out of the house and up on the water in some fresh air and sunshine so as to alleviate the cooped up scene going on at home.
And while you are there in the park you can visit a park restroom facility and steal toilet paper rolls from the stall dispensers to take home since you won't find it anywhere else. |

So before hauling down the final word is even sites open and by reservation only online. I looked and there are plenty.
