Silver Lake: aka "Plasse Resort" Aug. 8-11.

The Holbrooks have reserved site M-22 and Becky Santucci M-21. The "M" stands for the meadow sites. GCER and others planning to go need to start from M-20 and down the line. The last site is M-11, so I guess there are 12 sites. Also, they only allow one rig in each site, so, there is no sharing a site. You can have 4 horses, but only one rig (meaning motorhome or truck and camper). You can have 2 vehicles, but I think they count the trailer as a vehicle. They also have the horse sites in the trees. They only allow 2 horses per site.

Make your own reservations by calling 209-258-8814 Sites M11-M22 are horse camping by the meadow. Make them ASAP as they fill up. There is a "restaurant and showers at the resort, plus beautiful Silver Lake, with great hiking and riding trails.
