Group camp shower construction

[/dev/yj]

Can anybody confirm/deny/update on the alert from reserveamerica.com - that the showers at group camp are under construction while they add flush toilets and therefore out of commission?
Alerts and Important Information
Construction on the shower building to add 2 flush toilets as part of the America Recovery and Reinvestment Act has begun. During construction the showers will not be available for use. Campers from Badin Lake Group Camp can use the showers at Badin Lake Campground, Arrowhead Campground, or Canebrake Horse Camp during the construction phase. Potable water is still available at the drinking water hydrants.
We've got a group down in two weeks and at least need to let folks know.
thx...

Does anyone else see the funny in this? "Group camp shower" Is it going to be co-ed?

 

[/dev/yj]

The showers have always been there, and effectively "co-ed". They're adding flush toilets to the same structure and tying into the plumbing, hence the showers are out of commission during the construction.

You can shower at the other nearby campgrounds - Badin Lake, Arrowhead, etc.

Don't forget there might be a $3 fee to shower at Arrowhead. Unless they have waived the fee for those staying at group camp, which could be a possibility.

Nice.

On key part I left out, the $3 fee at Arrowhead is for those not staying in the campgrounds obviously. If you were to camp at Arrowhead showers are free.
