Bear Lake Reservations

Dave's family has gone to Bear Lake each summer for over 30 years now. It's a wonderful tradition and it has grown over the years to our current group size of 50+ people. Organizing and reserving this trip is no small feat by everyone involved. Today was the first day we could call to reserve "our" spots. We ALWAYS get campspots 1-5 at Rendevous Beach. The phone lines open at 7 am and we were assembled at the kitchen table at 6:45 to start dialing. We had 6 phones calling every 5 seconds until finally at 7:02 we got through with two of the phones. The wait time was 15-20 minutes and when we got the reservation agent...our spots were already gone! Apparently they have improved the online system and now the online system is quicker than phoning in. We were able to secure 6 campspots on the other side of the bathrooms. We are all a little shaken up by the news, but somehow I think we'll have a good time still. Next year, we'll have our laptops up and ready like we're bidding on a hot item on ebay! We will get our spots back!
