Members JONBOY Posted December 9, 2011 Members Posted December 9, 2011 Looking for some information on camping at Montuak during the winter. I was go to head down there some random weekend and do some winter camping. On thier site they say they shut down the bathhouses, so does that mean you either go in the woods or at the lodge? Also fishing is from 8-4 Friday thru Monday, is this correct? Just wanting to cover my bases before I take a 3 hr drive. Thanks in advance. Take care and good luck fishin!!

Gavin Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 There is a vault toilet near the bathhouse in Loop 4, or use the lodge if you need to make a deposit....Fishing is 8-4 Friday-Monday..Have fun.
jdmidwest Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 The lodge is open during the day. There is a toilet open near the hatchery building that is heated at the upper end of the park or pit toilets at the lower campground. Electric, no water at the sites. No showers. I usually camp at the Tarry Inn in Licking during the off season, I am a puss in cold weather and need a hot shower and warm bed.

Members JONBOY Posted December 12, 2011 Author Members Posted December 12, 2011 Awesome, Thank you for the information. This is what I was wanting to know. Take care. Novice Fly fisher.
mic Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 I usually camp at the Tarry Inn in Licking during the off season, How much are the rooms there?
jdmidwest Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 How much are the rooms there? Last winter was around $45. Free Wifi, clean, hot showers, nice people. They fill up around opening day and deer season. Most other times they have plenty of rooms. "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S.

Members JONBOY Posted December 13, 2011 Author Members Posted December 13, 2011 Thats not a bad price at all, and it does beat lugging all of your camping gear down there. in 10 degree weather. It is very tempting to stay there instead of tent camping. Thanks for the advice. Novice Fly fisher.
Njardar Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 Thanks for the suggestion as well, it is something I will definitely look into. Charlie
jdmidwest Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 Crap, now it will be booked solid the next time I need to go... I came to that conclusion years ago when the now x better half complained about having to squat on a pit toilet in 20 degree blast. Now, the bones feel better in the morning after a warm bed and a hot shower before I face a day of brutal cold temps. Call them up, I am sure they will love the business. There is the Ranch Motel in Salem also. There are better class motels in both Salem and Licking if you need higher star lodging.

awhuber Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 Thanks for the suggestion as well, it is something I will definitely look into. Charlie Hey. Why not just stay at the motel in the park? You wont have an hr of driving. I believe they keep 9 units open(will open more if needed) and 14 cabins are open.
