LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going fast
 

Longpoint has some interesting rules.
They allow one tent or RV per site, if you have more, they charge more. Some sites, you can fit 2 boats in, easily, so if your staying on the boat, they don't really seem to care. They have a trailer/car storage area, so you can ditch the trailer there. When I stay on the boat, I usually just get an "additional car" pass for a site where someone I know is staying, and stay on the boat.
Skiblet is right, if you can, you want to try and get the lower number ones in the 70's or 60's.

I renamed this thread so our folks who may want to come, realize that after 3 days of this thread and less than 24 hours picking camp sites-WE ALREADY HAVE SITES 75-82? FILLED! We really need to get more motivated people:D.I just spoke with Kim @ Long Point Park this AM. I reserved #75, next to Carla and Skip. as said before by JohnB and Skiblet from local knowledge, start filling in the lower #'s for less bugs and being closer to the pavillion.

I have #74 next to snookerd

question, mapquest sends me north all the way to 528 but 192 through St Cloud sure is a more direct route, how bad is that through there

Ok Boys & Girls,
For those that want to have a motel with dockage
call these people. right now they are about 80% booked for
April 11 & 12.
They are on the mainland side off US-1 about 3.5 miles
by water to Long Point Park. Again do not put off making
your reservations here as well. Sportsman's Motel & Marina

I will continue searching for additional locations...

I have not contacted these people, but 6.5 miles
North of the Inlet / 5.5 miles to Long Point on the
Ocean. Looks like a nice place.

Surf Caster Motel


See ya, Ken

There is also Hirams, about the same distance, on the mainland.

I am in. Otto, I am psyched you are coming. Is 1200 miles going to be a record????????? This is going to be of epic proportions. Kimberlee, Jack and I will be bringing the 23' behing the mighty Volvo. Thanks heavens for the extended warranty!

Dixon, your lucky it doesn't direct you to Jacksonville. Danny works for Mapquest part time and when he found out your were going to be his bunk mate......well the rest is history :eek: [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

At least he doesn't work part time teaching the art of throwing a cast net :D You may have a point, he had the site next to me last weekend and none of his family would come :D

I think I'll come through on 192 much shorter looking.

Re: LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going fast
 

Dixon and Capt. Chuck- :D :D :D :o :o :o :o It wasn't Al Gore, I actually invented the internet, and then Mapquest afterwards, sorry for the reroute Dixon :rolleyes:......... [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]EggSuckinDog is all bark, with no bite. Contrary to the rest of the Wood family boycott to last weekend's great event, being next to Dixon and "the Martha Stewart of Boating" would have been all good. Well......, just don't bring unsplit oak firewood to burn next time......... :o I needed a little help from "Jose Wejebe" AKA ESD, on that 12 foot cast net throwing. Thanks for the lesson. ARE WE A LITTLE FIRED UP????

Re: LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going fast
 

Thats OK Danny :D

I will let you run my boat to avoid any unforseen sand bars.
If you will let me throw the net... :rolleyes:
I think we are all fired-up and there is 5 months to GO !

See ya, Ken
