Hello Lake Frances Campers and Cabin Dwellers!

We are five weeks out for our 2026 Camping Trip to Lake Frances. Our trip always starts on the Wednesday after Father's Day, so this year that is Wed June 24, concluding on Monday June 29.

Our three night minimum remains Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights with a Sunday 12 noon departure, but most of us arrive a day early on Wednesday and depart on Monday when the rest of civilization is already back at work. RV sites should be the same price as last year at $85 per night.

This year we have the RedBud Cabin at $199 per night or approximately $591 for the 3 night minimum with taxes and our discount. We also have two Rustic cabins at $129 per night or $383 for the three night minimum.

reservations CLOSED

Thanks!

From Matthew Brown:

Mr. Banovitz,

I wanted to personally thank you for the care package the Golden Hills Mustang Club sent me.  I personally took the girl scout cookies for myself but handed out the remainder of the package to one of my
squads.  They were very thankful of the socks and magazines as entertainment runs short out here.

Please give our thanks to CrossFit Solano as well.

Again, thank you for  your support.  It is received well by me and my Platoon.

How's it going Sir,
 
Just wanted to let you know from me an my platoon that we were very grateful for the package you sent SFG Gorbet he was quick to pass out a few things to us an share the love lol. I had to acknowledge the fact you went out of your way for us. Being on the other side of the world away from family gets rough sometimes. But just small kind gestures like that make it slightly better. I really appreciated it.


Thank you,
       PV2 Johnson

We just received your care package here at the Pedro compound. We appreciate your recognition, thanks, and the especially the Girl Scout Cookies!

From all of us here at the 26 ERQS Pedros a big thank you. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you.
