Easiest way I describe it is,
"Hot to Damm Hot"
beautiful place anyway and good fun.

God bless, froggos

Yep - it can be DAMN HOT at Greens at Christmas, in fact all through the summer - but that's what you get, and you have a big lake to cool down in!!!!

sure can be! I don't camp there very often as home base is only 5min away. Do go out there a bit though. Wife and I will have to drop out to meet everyone this year.

God bless, froggos.

No MD...........WILL BE

Take your bathers with you, you can cool down in the lake. Take something for the feet as it is a bit muddy under foot in the lake. I usually go for a dip just before bed.......nice. Ah! just the thought of that feels soooooo good.

Juergen

What will you be running the aircon on Juergen, generator? 

Also, does anyone know if they have a separate generator area or do those with them just park further away from other people?

Hey Vic..

I'm one of those nutty guys that has the Bus set up with Lithium Batteries...
-- No Generator at All..


If you can find my build you will see that I have a mini Power house of a system...
-- 1600w of solar and Lithium Batteries..

While the Day is Hot I plan to have the Aircon on while I have access to Full sun...
- I'm betting that the Bus shall be Cool by the time sun is down..
