View Full Version : Campsite for the 26th
cobaltbabe July 8th, 2003, 06:46 PM Anyone who is going to the dinner and dive on the 26th and is camping, can you please tell us where you are staying. We want to try to stay together. Taz thank you for the tourism thing. Any ideas people? :confused: UpperCanDiver July 8th, 2003, 07:35 PM St. Lawrence Park P O Box 5000, King St. W. Brockville K6V 7A5 Telephone: (613) 345-1341 Email: parks-rec@brockville.com Web: www.brockville.com Why not camp right on the river? ssdiver2003 July 8th, 2003, 07:35 PM is there room for 2 more ??? cobaltbabe July 8th, 2003, 07:38 PM Are you camping there? We want to try to stick together. cobaltbabe July 8th, 2003, 07:39 PM Contact Taz or divingal. They will put you on the list. cobaltbabe July 8th, 2003, 08:08 PM Hey folks, Barb gave me this camp site and it looks good. What say you? http://www.tourpleasurepark.com/rates.html Groundhog246 July 8th, 2003, 10:06 PM UpperCanDiver once bubbled... St. Lawrence Park P O Box 5000, King St. W. Brockville K6V 7A5 Why not camp right on the river? Have you booked already? Prices? Site #. We plan to try and reserve in the next day or two. Cobaltbabe. Looks like a nice park, but a little pricey (or maybe I haven't been camping much lately:) ) $22 for 2 adults, plus another $5 for our two kids. My brothers camped near where we keep our boat last weekend. Six (3 adults, 3 kids) with a tent trailer and a tent, on a single site was $21.00 JimC July 9th, 2003, 07:26 AM Down from the Legion hall near the Conny. Its free and theres toilets. Bring your own drinking and cookeing water. Don't setup camp untill later in evening, and break camp early.. It is a park after all. 730 truck stop is just a short drive away for super cheap breakfast, showers, etc if you want them. No fires, no showers. Bring a small camp stove. Only downside is the high concentration of dog and goose landmines. Which can make it slightly dificult to locate place to drop your tent. Probably where my wife and I will be.

We plan to hang around till Tuesday, so setting up and tearing down every day really isn't on. However, if we can't get a site elsewhere it provides a backup plan. eagleray2003 July 9th, 2003, 08:48 AM There is another campground closer to Brockville, it's on Hwy #2 west of Abucs (about 3klm) it's called Happy Green Acres full facilities including washrooms with hot showers,they charge $10. per night for a tent site for divers, swimming pool as well. Phone # 613-342-9646 Taz maybe familiar with it, lots of divers there every weekend! Groundhog246 July 9th, 2003, 11:57 AM Happy Green Acres sounds excellent. Will call this afternoon about reserving a site. We plan to leave here as early Friday as we can (I hope to get off work early) for a Friday eve arrival. I assume we're meeting up Sat am wherever you enter for the Connie. If you see my trailer (picture attached) and me looking lost, flag me down. :D Groundhog246 July 9th, 2003, 10:27 PM Happy Green Acres it is for us. My wife has called and made reservations today. I've got the week off, so we're staying over till Tuesday. SneakyB'tard July 10th, 2003, 08:27 AM http://www.maggiore.net/greenacres/sounds/ragatheme.ram Sorry, I was bored. canuckdiver July 10th, 2003, 08:58 AM (singing) Green acres is the place to be....... Green acres is the place for me....... (sorry, showing my age again! LOL) green acres sounds good ;) barb July 10th, 2003, 11:22 AM Another spot that I've stayed at and am staying there again is the Pleasure Park Camping and RV Resort. Nice place: clean, well maintained. Cost is $25/night 7th night free for a trailer with electrical and water hook-up, tents are a bit less. This place is approx. 15 min drive to the river on hwy 29. It's located on Graham lake (very comfortable, secure place).

I had a similar thought when it was recommended. I have quite a quaint picture in my head of what it will look like when we get there. :D artw July 10th, 2003, 06:07 PM I'd like to attend the dinner, where can I get more information? Art r3597 July 10th, 2003, 06:10 PM I need some help picking out a regulator that sutes me can anyone help??? Groundhog246 July 10th, 2003, 08:48 PM r3597 once bubbled... I need some help picking out a regulator that sutes me can anyone help??? I'm sure there are lot's who can/will help. I'd suggest you start on in the regulator forum http://www.scubaboard.com/f16/s While price is always a consideration, IMHO you should be sure you purchase a product that can be serviced locally. Having to send your regs off someplace for service would be (again IMO) be a pain. If you were to join us July 26th, I'm sure you could ask any or all there about their choice of reg. taz22 July 10th, 2003, 08:53 PM Groundhog246 once bubbled...

I am certainly partial to my poseidon's...gotta love them! :D barb July 13th, 2003, 09:33 PM .....its APEKS....there must be a problem with your keyboard. APEKS are the regs he wants. :D JohnF July 13th, 2003, 09:47 PM barb once bubbled... .....its APEKS....there must be a problem with your keyboard. APEKS are the regs he wants. :D If he wants to supply me with firewood that weekend, I'll let him try my Apeks. 8) Frankly, I'm never disappointed having an excuse to dive my Sherwoods again. They don't let me down. He'll have to learn to put up with the 7' hose though, cuz I ain't changing it for one dive. JohnF Groundhog246 July 14th, 2003, 08:48 AM You mean I'm gonna get to see how one of these 7' hoses is rigged. ;) But, we're getting way off topic again. :wacko: Is anybody else booked at Happy Green Acres?

I think that Matt and I are going to be staying there. I have to make the call sometime this week and book.

No amount of intralingual manipulation will ever turn a Poseidon into an Apeks. 8) JohnF Groundhog246 July 14th, 2003, 07:47 PM cobaltbabe once bubbled...

If they are full, we may be bunking with you Groundhog. ;) No problem sharing a site if they're pressed for space, IF the management allows and the site itself is large enough. Many only allow 1 unit (tent, trailer, etc) per site. Others limit number of people (we're 4) per site. We've a dining shelter too, but not sure if we're dragging it along. For the locals (Taz), what's the bug (mosquito) level like around there? Most places here aren't a problem. Where we keep the boat they're almost not existant. At a local quarry about a 40 minute drive you do NOT want to be there at dusk. Even with repellent you'll suffer multiple bites. cobaltbabe July 16th, 2003, 03:24 PM Thanks Groundhog but I was just yanking your chain. Matt and I have reserved a spot at "Happy Green Acres". The lady was very nice and wanted to know if we were divers. I guess there are alot there all the time. I am really looking forward to meeting all of you. :) snuggle July 16th, 2003, 06:06 PM where is happy green acres.. cobaltbabe July 16th, 2003, 06:26 PM on Hwy #2 west of Abucs (about 3klm) it's called Happy Green Acres full facilities including washrooms with hot showers,they charge $10. per night for a tent site for divers, swimming pool as well.

It would seem that with the lack of rain, the little buggers most be hiding out someother place that here! :D Groundhog246 July 17th, 2003, 04:11 PM cobaltbabe once bubbled... on Hwy #2 west of Abucs (about 3klm) it's called Happy Green Acres full facilities including washrooms with hot showers,they charge $10. per night for a tent site for divers, swimming pool as well. Phone # 613-342-9646 This is from earlier in the thread. I found more detailed directions: Happy Green Acres Tent & Trailer Park, 7 miles west of Brockville on Hwy 2; from 401 Exit 687 then west on Hwy 2 for one mile cobaltbabe July 17th, 2003, 04:16 PM That makes things easier. Thank you Groundhog. I still think it's going to be great. Groundhog246 July 20th, 2003, 09:21 PM I met Boogie at a divesite this afternoon. He's heading up early Friday to get some dives in (wish I could, but gotta work till early afternoon). Suggested he tell the office folk at Happy Green Acres that he's part of a "Scubaboard" group get-together and maybe they could set aside half a dozen sites close to his. Hopefully, when the rest of us arrive, if we mention Scubaboard, we can hopefully connect Friday eve and get aquainted. Coyote July 20th, 2003, 10:19 PM Just thought I'd mention that there is also a campsite about half-way between the Rothesay and the Conestoga but i can't remember the name of it off the top of my head. :confused: Coyote Boogie711 July 22nd, 2003, 12:33 AM John (Seacur) and I are hoping to get into Brockville in the early afternoon on Friday. I haven't asked him yet, but I'd like to get to the campground and set up in daylight. I'll tell the Greenacres folks to either run far far away, or, if possible, set aside a bunch of sites in a row. (If possible being the operable term.) Then, when I know where some Scubaboarders are going to be, I'll go and set up at the farthest point possible away. Admit it, you all know who you are. :) Groundhog246 July 22nd, 2003, 08:27 AM Boogie711 once bubbled...

Spoken like someone who's seen me in the morning. :D My wife asked me an important question this morning, that hopefully one of the "locals" can answer. Where and how far is the nearest Tim Hortons. :wacko: Coyote July 22nd, 2003, 03:08 PM Groundhog246 once bubbled... Ahh.

One thing there is no shortage of in Brockville is Tim's. :bounce: There is also a Tims about 5 mins from the Rothesay. Barry taz22 July 22nd, 2003, 05:15 PM Coyote once bubbled...

Barry We in fact have 5 Timmy locations here in good ole' B-ville: 1) King Street across from TD Canada Trust 2) Brock Street ( Mid-Town ) just a block from the start of Hwy #29 3) Stewart Blvd across from Burger King 4) Stewart Blvd - in the Esso Station ( northside of Parkedale Ave) 5) Parkedale Ave across from Canadian Tire You can miss them! Brockvegas July 22nd, 2003, 07:48 PM 5 Tim Hortons And I still can't get a Cheese Croissant after 11 am let alone a poppyseed bagel. See everyone on Saturday.
