UCamp 2019 (Registration, etc.)

T@Balong

Someone posted on FB that UCamp registration is tonight at midnight.   I don't see any thread giving us instructions on how to register.   Does anyone know?

(I edited the title to include the year.  Sharon)

@T@Balong If I understand correctly the link for UCamp19 will be placed on the NuCamp Website, on the UCamp Facebook page, and also at Eventbrite.

T@Balong

I guess it's not going to show up until the exact time

see you in June!

It ends Friday this year and a big price increase.  Guess somebody has to pay for those donuts!

Ready to go!



Here in in the Central time zone, our effort was recorded at 11:01..  My wife had everything set up ahead of time, so it took 3 keystrokes and done.  Woohoo...  In the top five for sure.  Not that it counts for anything though.  We were about number 50 last year...

I actually wonder how they could do it so cheaply last year. Allison did say they were including more this year, too.

There is a FB group for uCamp run by nuCamp where Allison shares details and responds to questions. If you have not joined, I highly recommend it.

Sharon_is_SAM

Oh, I don’t know Jenn, it’s Facebook...  I can’t imagine why they don’t share the same info on the TaB and TaG forum.  

jkjenn

I think the FB format probably lends itself better to engagement.

TerryV6

I was told that as of 7:30am, there were 2 hookups and 19 Boondocking sites left...

Main campground with hookups are sold out. 17 boondocking spots left. You can also register to stay off site and attend.

Completely agree Jenn. They treat us so well. Don’t know how they do it for that low cost. Best money I spend all year!

I do believe the whole event has been rather low key this year...kinda like word of mouth...definitely there are lots of other campgrounds within the area and the "off site" package is still a great deal...

@Sharon_is_SAM you may already know this now, but the event does go all the way through Friday. I think the 11:00 am was a misprint.

Sharon_is_SAM

All I know is that last year the event ended on Saturday at 10:00 AM.  This year it ends on Friday.  

From 2018

It is a bit confusing the way it’s written but it ends on Saturday this year as well. 

jkjenn

I wonder if they are running essentially the same programming but are just wording it differently?

Sharon_is_SAM

It is possible @jkjenn.  

TerryV6

Here is the latest....

Mystery solved!

Typo:)

@Sharon_is_SAM just used her Magic Wand and fixed that typo

Nope, not me!  Maybe telepathically communicated to nuCamp

I managed to snagg one of the boondocking spots but can't figure out how to be put on stand-by for one of the regular spots also confused does one ticket mean one camping spot? it didn't ask how many people were going to be in the spot-first timer-i've only used my trailer 4 times-for weekends and i've never tried to back into a spot-a real nuby-i guess i'll learn-one reason i want to go-this will be my first long trip-at least 3-4 weeks-coming from south Louisiana and plan to take it slow and visit some family and maybe blue ridge parkway or smokies on the way back
I'm nervous but excited for an "adventure" by myself
see you there  Kay

I can't help with the standby thing, but one ticket means a spot for your camper, not for one person.  Also, I've owned my T@b for a few years now and still consider myself a newbie.  Lots to learn for sure.  !. Read the manual.  2. The company has videos. 3 There are many wonderful help sites, jkjenn has one.  I learned a great deal on that one.  4.  Lots of helpful stuff here.  Since it is like our brains, it is only partially organized and you have to dig in for things.  
 Backing up takes practice.  Sometimes things fall into place and bam, you are in.  Other times it takes a number of attempts.  I would say my biggest problem is the anxiety that "someone' is watching you.  That will go away somewhat.  As a last resort, when you get to the rally, there are tons of friendly people who will be more than happy to help.  We all share a love of camping and our common trailer.  I hope to meet you there...

I am glad you pointed this out because I thought that me at we left on Friday. I reached out to Allison for clarification. I will be there from Sunday to Sunday. It has been a couple of years since I stayed in a campsite for more than 5 days and I am looking forward to it. Now, to find somewhere to dump on the drive back home....

Verna

@jkjenn, an RV campground may allow you to dump for a few dollars. Flying J’s charge for a dump, with a discount for having the Campiing World card, and some Camping World’s have dump sites. I used a 5 galling bucket with a lid last summer and then put it in my own toilet at home last summer when I was camping for 3 months in my driveway.
