Lake Levels to Fall as Dam Releases Water

The level of Grapevine Lake is leveling off as the U.S. Corp of Engineers continues to release the run-off water from this week's heavy rains. We are not seeing any rise in water on the campground, which is good because we have eight sites in 'the valley' that have been closed down for a few days until the lake levels return to normal.

We send a special thanks to guests who have graciously relocated to other sites on higher ground for the short term, and have kept that 'can-do' camper spirit.

We also caught guest Kay Zimmerman and Kidd out picking up some extra trash up that had washed up along the shorelines today. Yes, Kidd—a handsome White German Shepherd—was picking up trash as well! Kay says he's been doing this for years, and is an official member of Keep Ponder Beautiful team where they live. "I have a great picture of Kidd carrying a cardboard box during a recent city clean-up day," shares Kay with a big Texas smile. Thanks Kay and Kidd - we appreciate your help...














Also with big smiles, The Vineyards staff is always on-site and in the golf carts throughout the weekend to to help you if you have any special needs or questions about the high water. Don't hestitate to ask them at the Front Office.
