WOOO! This should be fun. I just booked the last waterfront campsite for the night of May 17, but there are a few others still available on the camping loop. I suggest we pitch in and hire @Jerry Daschofsky to feed us!
 
What do you think I booked? ;)
It showed as "available" just now when I was booking my Campsite 48 (which might be the state's smallest and least private campsite, but hey, it is on the water!).

Mayfield Lake​

This reservoir was formed by the construction of Mayfield Dam. It is managed for catchable rainbow trout and warmwater species. Tiger muskies were introduced in 1993 to help in controlling nuisance northern pikeminnow (squawfish) populations.

The lake is located about three miles west of Mossyrock. The big attraction is tiger musky fishing. The state record is currently over 31 pounds; larger ones are out there. The best tiger musky fishing is during the warmer months. Consult the current Sport Fishing Rules pamphlet for specific regulations at this lake.

Surplus hatchery Coho and fall Chinook may be placed in the lake for additional fishing opportunity. Yellow perch are also caught in fair numbers, and a few largemouth bass are present. Boating access is available at a Lewis County park just off of Highway US-12, at Ike Kinswa State Park, and at a private resort. There is fair shore fishing access at the state park and at the Mossyrock Trout Hatchery. Call Tacoma Power's toll free fishing line at 888-502-8690.

Speaking of tables, I'll probably have more stuff to swap than I can hold in two hands. I'm thinking of bringing a folding table to display my stuff. Good idea or bad idea?
Great idea

Just one innocent question. Why select a park that says no to alcohol?
Alcohol in campsites is fine:

https://www.mytpu.org/community-environment/parks-recreation/park-rules/#pattern_2

Alcohol in kegs and other bulk containers is not allowed.
Store and consume alcoholic beverages only in your site or group camp circle.
Alcoholic beverages are not permitted in the day-use areas or on the Taidnapam Park fishing bridge.

All are welcome to store some cans or a bottle at my campsite and/or wander over for a beer.

I planned to do the same
