Camping & Launching Lake Whitney during High Water? - 10/22/18 03:12 PM

I had reservations for this Thursday-Sunday on Lake Whitney for some father son camping & fishing. The park canceled my reservations due to high water. I see guides posting daily, so I know the fishing is good! Is there any place to stay and launch on Lake Whitney during high water?

Check with loafers bend, idk if camping is available or not but the guides are using harbour masters to launch from.

I believeable Harbor Master is useable. I used it to launch 2 weeknds ago before the rain. Its steep and theren isnt a dock but definatly usable. $ 3 dollars to launch on the honor system with a orange pay box close to the ramp.

I had reservations at Lofers Bend West and they closed the park and ramp.

I was going to ask this same question. I drove around the lake looking yesterday evening. The water is all the way to the top of the Harbor Master ramp but I think it is usable. I need to launch Sat morning myself. Anyone know about other usable ramps (I didn't check McCown)? Loafers and Lake Whitney Marina/Juniper Cove are closed.

I spoke with the gentleman at the Harbor Master Marina just now and he said his ramp is usable for now.
