Camping at Portal RV

[ZEUS]

LMFAO

Put a 'lectric fan on him & he'll be considered a Great Dane???

No, he already has an electric fan and that brought out his inner greyhound - that's why he is so tall and fast!

I'm bringin' my dog...they're allowed at Portal, right?

I'm bringing mine too. I reserved one of the private tent sites (site D) so he wouldn't annoy everyone else. If there's room, you're welcome to join us.

FYI Info on doggie care:
I found a cool place called "Karen's canine campground" about 1 1/2 mile South of town on 191: 435-259-7922
~ 3000 sf open land( with fencing of course)
~ like a dog park / big backyard type setting
~ dogs are free to roam around
~ wading pools
~ 12x20 canopy in outdoor area
~ with "cabins" & "bedrooms" (4x6x10' high)
~ each bedroom has 10x6 covered run w/access to open outdoor area 24/7
~ leaves bedroom doors open a bit at night so they can go to outdoor area at will
~ if any problems with other dogs, she can put them in their bedroom
~ each room has 2 cots & blankets
~ open 830am - 430pm for doggie daycare
~ price INCLUDES all day + leaving overnight until noon next day, that way if you miss the 430 pm time, they can stay overnight no problem
~ Need to show up to date shots
~ Must be neutered/spayed
~ If under 3, must show they've had the booster shots (DLPP)
~ $20/dog/day for single dog
~ $15/dog/day for 3 dogs together

~ I reserved 5/12, 5/13, 5/14 for 3 dogs. Paul (phines) and I are going to try to put our 3 dogs together for the $15 rate. (my 2 + his 1)
~ Rate is so reasonable that I reserved the 3 days, even if we don't use them, we'll pay for them to have this as a backup plan.
Justin, I wonder if Menace could stay here part of the time? I didn't ask about breed specific issues, and the lady never asked me what breed I had, so maybe??


From a Moab travel site gomoab.com
Karen's Canine Campground
Karen is awesome and has a wonderful facility. Bubba has stayed here many times with other doggy friends and loves it. This is a great choice if you're going out for a long ride or day trip. Pick your dog up in the late afternoon and they are pooped for a night by the fire. Tell them Chris at Gomoab.com sent you.

I dont need to plug in my laptop in my tent. Its just kinda cool to post up the days events at the end of the day before turning out the light, or watch a dvd. But my laptop runs about 3 hrs on battery. I'm going to have to figure out how to do my air mattress though. My pump is 120 volt and the mattress is WAY too big to fit through the door once inflated. Takes a lot of air to fill a queen size double height air mattress.

Depending on where and how I set up my tent you may be able to use my extension cords. Gonna bring about 150-200'. This is why I said site D was better.

I didn't get group site "B" because we would have to leave on Friday the 14th.
"A" we can keep it until the 15th.
Peace.

I will have several DC to AC inverters with me. Feel free to borrow one if you need it...

I have a 1000w inverter in my rodeo that I usually plug into. Great for running the air pump and watching movies on laptop in case of bad weather or just relaxing. The issue is just being able to park close enough to use it.

15th? several of us are leaving on the 16th. I thought the site was originally booked 10th-16th?

As long as all Y'all happy campers can find your way to the ROCK...eva'tang gonna be O-tay...

[RallyDude]

If you look at the campsite map, the dog area was by campsite c. looks like there's some private tent sites, with parking the same as the group sites, so maybe if there's enough people to fill the group sites, those with dogs could camp nearby in the tent sites, we're all going to park in the same place anyway. However, if we could tell them we already had pets booked, and needed C, maybe they would hook us up.

If I can come I have a mattress inflator, that has it's own battery. I'll bring that, or for $8 at Walmart, you can have one yourself. Charge has taken me through 3 weeks of camping, moving every few days, still had plenty of charge when I got home, have had it for 5 years. Also had 1 that ran off the cigarette lighter, but it wasn't good for walk in sites, and didn't hold up as long, though it was lighter..

Sweet set up! Didn't realize parking was a problem with the group sites.

Not a problem for most, there is plenty of parking. It just isn't necessarily within 20 feet of your tent...
