QUESTION!!!!!!!
If I do not have a camp site, where do I put into the lake? Are there day passes?

May be staying at a motel, and need to see how incovenient it will be.

If you can't get a camp site, then I would say Sun Suite would be you best alternative. Very close to jet ski cove= no hassle.

Sun suites is a good place to stay. one thing: if you do an internet reservation, call them after a while and vertify that they got it.
The public ramp is quite good and free..

Sun Suites is ok. It seems to have taken a turn for the worse. I think they have a lot of constrution workers that stay there part time now. They will reserve you a room but not the type. They won't guarantee a smoking pref.
That isn't an issue for some people but we were stuck with one last year and just couldn't take it. There are some other hotels in the area that are much nicer. Unfortuanely I can't remember where we ended up staying.

As far as the campground goes parking is limited and you can't get in if your car isn't registered to a site. They won't let you in at all! There is a 3 car limit per site also. Just an FYI in case some of you don't know yet. You just have to coordinate everything so no one gets stuck at the gate.:fing02:

they do have some overflow parking also, but you are still limited to 3 per spot, (if trailers take up too much room)

How sad is it that I already started a "To Lanier" pile in the shed? Damn I can't wait.

What is the shoreline like along the campsites? Is it muddy clay, sand, rocky? Is the shoreline straight or cliff like? Does everyone take the skis out of the water everyday?

Just want to know what to expect and where to stay (ideally).

Do campsites have grills?

The Penguin · Mar 20, 2006

michael - shoreline is all of the above IMO - in the area where BK (45ish) and them were last year it was sandier and a gentle slope to the water.

Where me and AllStock, Parrdaddy and BroncoKing were (30ish) it was steeper to the water and muddy clay bottom with small rocks

I think all the campsites had grills.

Like Penguin sad, it depends where you are. We left our skis in the water on stands last year with no problems. Campsites have grills and fire pits.

gj_fx1 · Mar 21, 2006

A stand is a real good idea at the camp site. Soft bottom, but you couldn't really beach so they stayed put for long.

At the cove near the public launch area across the way there is a nice beach to just pull up.

Who has space on their site?

Any recommendations for a site?

I'll probably have room on 48 since geek has run into a small issue about making it.

michael950 · Mar 21, 2006

Room for my puppy (yellow lab) and wife?

I know there is a 3 vehicle and 8 person limit.

Ooh, I better wait and see then. I've got offers out to a couple of people, but geek was the only one confirmed and he's questionable now.

Honestly, I'd go ahead and get a site, they're cheap.

I'd go for 55 or 56 - those are pretty close to the rest of us and close to the showers too.

michael950 · Mar 21, 2006

Just reserved 55.

Thanks SJBrit, glad to see I made the right choice.
