Camp Site Info:
We need some volunteers to go up one day earlier with Danielle & Angela to save us at least 3 campsites. 
Balch Park Campground (in Mountain Home Demonstration State Forest ) has 71 tent sites and 71 RV sites, all first come first serve.  Note that the one we want is Balch Park Campground  off Bear Creek Rd and not Balch Park Station. 
(There are also motels and cabins in Springville for those that don't want to camp. That option is on individuals to figure out. )

Pictures from Prior Trip:
The pic called Slickrock LZ is taken from launch and you can see the only wide open area down in front which is the official LZ. There is also a small bailout on the right side by the road, the helicopter LZ, just a sharp rectangle over the right side  which is easy to land on. All that can probably better illustrated on site.
The Lumeau is a different, lower launch past the range in front of Slickrock (see on glide pic) that requires some annoying hiking. One can also make the LZ from Slickrock and land at Lumeau, which is a local pilot hangout too.
I also attached some pics from the hiking we did last time.
