Greetings to all you SOI members!
SOI is pleased to announce the second annual gathering of Scamp Camp Far West. We are non-discriminatory! ALL (I do mean ALL) molded fiberglass brands are welcome and encouraged to attend. Don’t let a bunch of Scampers scare you off.
The Event: Scamp Camp Far West
Dates: May 14-18, 2015
Location: Gold Country Resort and Campground. Pine Grove, CA. That’s just up the hill from Jackson, CA on Highway 88, about 50 miles east of Sacramento.
We have reserved 24 sites at Gold Country Campground Resort.
Reservations can be made now. You need to call the campground directly to reserve a site (209-296-4650) and ask to reserve with the group of “Scamps”.
Sites will be $31.50/ night (tax included) for full hookups. We are able to reserve only 24 sites. After those sites are taken, we will need to start a waiting list. Don’t wait too long to make your reservation! After you have made your reservation, please send me a PM through this website so we know you are coming.
If you would like more information, or see some pictures, you can contact me by Private Message (PM) through this website. In the meantime you can access the campground website at: goldcountrycampground.com.

Yes, Scamp Camp Far West has begun. Right now it's 7:00pm and 20 egg trailers have arrived with rain greeting their arrival. Rain in California you say???? Yep, wouldn't you know it, the one weekend we are here it's actually raining. Needless to say, campfire has been cancelled for tonight. Tomorrow, weather report is calling for 70% chance of sunshine. Right now, everyone is hunkered down in their eggs keeping dry. At least the rain will settle the dust.

The second day of Scamp Camp Far West dawned bright a clear following a good soaking rain the evening before. This Scamp Camp is featured as a "DOG" gathering (DisOrganizedGathering) That means NO planning just things happening spontaneously. Oh yes, the only planned activity was the No-Host Hot Dog Feed on Friday night. What does anyone else do during this time? Here, let me show you:
Recovering from administrative duties
This group was interested in closely examining this 1985 13' Casita
We here at Scamp Camp Far West welcome ANY brand of molded fiberglass trailers. Here is a small sample:
We even invited a little larger "stickie" to join us. Actually they used to have a Casita!
We even allowed a 17' RPOD to come along with us.
Friday night we enjoyed pleasant weather for our No Host Hot Dog feed.
Now THAT'S a mouth full!! 
Chit Chat around the campfire 
The end of the day. Tomorrow more DOG!!!!
This is now Saturday and more DOG going on. The only plan for today was the requisite Saturday night potluck. The rest of the day was set aside for ?????????. Some people just sat and visited, some people visited the local area, and some people spent money at the local kitchen supply store. This is now Saturday and more DOG going on. The only plans for today was the requisite Saturday night potluck. The rest of the day was set aside for ?????????. Some people just sat and visited, others visited the local area, and still others spent money at the local kitchen supply store.
Some folks started early preparing for the Saturday Potluck.
Some folks could hardly contain themselves and wait for dinner!
Well now, food started arriving -
- - - - and more visiting - - -
Just as everyone was comfortably seated -
the DisOrganized Director announced "Everyone up! It's time for the requisite group photo!
The photographer had to sit by himself!
Ah, now the feeding began!
Still more visiting - - -
The DisOrganized Director, now more disorganized as ever, still tries to keep things as organized as possible!
That's about all of importance that happened today. Most of our group will be staying through to Monday. Of course, it will be more DOG!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for keeping us all disorganized!! It was a great weekend. Great meeting everyone...can't wait for Quincy!!
