Chenango Valley State Park
July 24 -27, 2025

CHENANGO VALLEY STATE PARK
153 State Park Road
Chenango Forks, New York***

Chenango Valley State Park is an ice age wonder. Its two kettle lakes, Lily and Chenango, were created when the last glacier retreated and left behind huge chunks of buried ice which melted to form the lakes and bog. Birdwatchers may glimpse woodpeckers, nut hatches, warblers and thrushes along woodland trails and herons, ducks and kingfishers lakeside. Fishermen will find trout, bass, perch and bullhead in Chenango Lake. Campers can choose from among 184 campsites and 24 cabins and golfers will appreciate the 18-hole Chenango Valley State Park*Golf Course*(pro shop can be reached by calling: 607-648-9700).

It’s great to see the registration opening soon. It’s a relief to know that Chenango will go on!

Since the other post is closed I will share on here an update for Shirley and me. I officially retired from the Commonwealth of PA on October 11, 2024. I have to wait now for Shirley. That’s what I get for robbing the cradle 35 years ago. I have 4 years to get us ready to hit the road. We will see how long I can stay retired in the meantime.

Kris and crew thanks for carrying on the Rally. Hopefully it will fill up fast. The record in the past 8 years was 7 days. To all past attendees maybe we will see you on the road someday.

Take care and God bless

Ron
 
Congrats Ron! Liz robbed my cradle, and she's still working and I've been retired 7 years at end of year. Welcome to the last day of the month club! (1st day of month for me).
 
Tomorrow's the date for reservations please do not send me any emails until tomorrow for site selections as I won't be be posting anything until then.

Ron congratulations and thanks for making it easy to take over. Hopefully we can fill your and Shirley's shoes.
 
Registration opens in less than 14 hours—get ready for 9 AM on 10/24/2024!

Just a quick reminder: after you reserve your site, please email me the names of the attendees, as well as the manufacturer, make, model, and year of your RV. Remember, participation is limited to Forest River or affiliate RV owners.

Once I get your email, I'll confirm your registration for the Rally, and then you can start posting on the forum: [Rally Forum](https://www.forestriverforums.com/f...ango-valley-state-park-frog-rally-281084.html).

We'll start a waiting list once we reach 25 reserved sites. Even if there are open sites at the campground, we can only accommodate 25 sites for logistical reasons.

I’ll process emails in the order they come in, so make sure to email me to register after you’ve secured your site. I won't be monitoring the site itself, just my email.

I’ll keep you updated here as we fill up.

Thank you all for your enthusiasm for our Rally!

Kris & Liz back at 121 Thu-Mon.

Cath and I are gonna miss all of you this year. We will be out west for a Family Reunion. We leave for our winter trip next week and will be back in August 2025. 10 months on the road, should be interesting.
We are looking forward to the 2026 Rally to see all of our Froggy Friends again!

You'll be missed too. Just used some Miller's dry brine/marinade on chops the other night and thought of you. Nice to have chops as delicious as the ones you made for us on camper crawl!

Kris, We got a new Ninja Woodfire 7 in 1 for camping this year. I got some of those thin cut beef round steaks from Wally World, sliced it against the grain, marinated it two days in Miller's Brine, then used the smoker function at 160 deg for about 2.5 hours. We will never buy jerky again!

Neighbors

Hey Kris I see we’re going to be neighbors again this next year.
Chris and I are on site 120 because John and Marlene got 119 ahead of us. That works out because it’s FROG people and their rig is longer than ours. We didn’t want Craig and Cath site to be occupied by someone other than FROG people.
Looking forward to summer already.
