RE: NY,PA,OH HNI get together
OK Guys, I got some info on the campgrounds
For your comfort Creekside Campgrounds has many shaded sites, along French Creek and also away from the water. Creekside is a quiet campground for all ages and camping habits:[*]For the traveler - quiet for that needed rest.[*]For the weekender - to just get away from the hub-bub of city life and to just while away your time.[*]For the seasonal camper - a place to relax all summer long!
Each site has:[*]20 AMP electric hookups[*]water[*]picnic table[*]fire ring
For your convenience, our facilities include:[*]Dumping station[*]Clean restrooms with FREE hot showers.[*]A convenience store with ice, firewood, and all those items you forgot to bring along.
Rates for campsites are as follows: based on a family of 42 adults and 2 children.
21.00 per night w/ 5.00 additional for hookups or water/ electric
if your RV or camper has AC and you run it all day it will be another 5.00. If your only running your AC a few hours you won't be charged.
There is also a 10% off coupon on the website. It shows that it is expired, but I talked to the owner and they will be honored.
AGAIN there will be free tenting at the Pro-Shop groundsbut very limited facilities. We will rent a porta john for the weekend, but no showers are available. And no electric hookups.
This is why I'm suggesting the Campgrounds up the street. Everone will be at the same location. Making it more fun and more personal.
Reservation Policy
To reserve a campsite, a deposit of 10%
or a mimimum of one (1) day is required.
Only checks or money orders accepted.
Checks must be received one week prior to camping date.

Rob, It was just part of the website I posted. Maybe some wives want to take the kids to another event while the hubby is talking smack or getting beat up on the 3-D course. Trying to cover all bases

I'm telling you guys you really don't want to miss out on the fishing. A walleye or perch trip would make for a world class fish fry. Big Small mouth bass .
