Reminder, our Spring Crappie Fest is March 28, 2026.  The AZCA wasn't able to reserve the group site, so everyone must reserve their own site on their own through the AZ State Parks Website (https://azstateparks.com/reserve/#alamo-lake/camping). Many AZCA members reserved in campsite loop D so try and book there if you want to hang out with the club in the evenings.  AZCA members with up to date paid membership will get 1 night reimbursed by the club, a perk of membership. It's highly recommended you book your site now as the sites can get all booked and none available if you wait too long.
