We are a local chapter of the National Good Sam Camping and RV Club. We have our regular monthly meetings at the Herkimer County Fairgrounds, Cemetery Street, Frankfort, NY, on the first Sunday of the non-camping months starting at 1 p.m. with a pot luck. The non-camping months are November, December, January, February, March and April. For the months of May, June, July, August, September and October, we have our campouts on the first full weekend of the month. We have volunteer hosts for each campout. A host will pick the campground and be responsible for Friday night's supper. At some campgrounds they will be responsible for making reservations for the whole group.

 
About us - We have camp outs on the first weekend of the month from May through October. November through April we meet at the Herkimer County Fairgrounds, Frankfort, NY, on the first Sunday of the Month at 1 p.m. We start our meetings with a pot luck and a little time for socializing. See the Calendar of Events to the right to see our scheduled meetings and camp outs. Anyone with a love for and interest in camping, regardless of whether you camp in a tent or a motorhome, is welcome to join our group. There are only two requirements - you must be a member in good standing of the National Good Sam Club and you must like to have fun!! Our dues are $10 a year due in January. If you love good food, making good friends, playing games, having a fun time or just sitting and relaxing by a campfire, then you will enjoy our group! You are welcome to join us at a camp out and decide for yourself. Use the contact box below for more info and someone will get back to you.
 

NEWS FLASH!! We are the proud owners of a 2004 Tennessee Enclosed Trailer that measures 6' x 12', has a single axle, cargo doors in the back and a side door. The color is white. Bruce Moody of Moody's Polaris in Newport, NY, worked with us with a great price that we could afford. We thank him very much! This trailer will replace the pop-up we have been using as our "Chuck Wagon".
 
 
CAMP OUTS
A general over-view of our camp outs goes something like this: arrive whenever on Friday. The hosts will have a light supper waiting (hamburgers & hot dogs, soup and sandwich, etc.)on Friday evening. This will be available from 6 - 8 p.m. There will be a $2.50 per head fee for this and you don't have to participate if you don't want to. After supper is a time for socializing with each other. We will play games in the pavilion or someone usually will have a campfire going and everyone is welcome to attend. On Saturday morning we have a community breakfast put on by the men of the chapter. We usually have eggs, cooked any way you want them or Glen's famous omelets, sausages, pancakes, coffee cakes, coffee, and orange juice. New for this year is make-your-waffle with the waffle maker the club recently purchased. We charge $2.50 a head for this breakfast. Saturdays are spent doing your own thing, whether it be sight seeing, playing games, reading or just relaxing in the sunshine. Our chapter game is called "Gotcha" and is played very competively! It is a home-made board game played very much like Sorry or Trouble. We also have horseshoes, Bocci, Crazy Golf, Bean Bag Baseball and whatever else a member may bring. Saturday night is the big pot luck supper. We usually have a very large and tasty assortment of food so that no one ever goes away hungry. After supper, it's back to the games. On Sunday morning, we have coffee and whatever coffee cakes and leftover deserts from Saturday are contributed by camping members, and now we'll even have waffles. Everyone usually stays around until the last possible minute before check-out time and then it's off to home till the next month's camp out.
