There's two group sites on the island. Each one is $25 per night , and has a minimum of 15 and a max of 30 people. So it looks like we'll either need to get a group to commit or reserve individual sites.

Here's the general vicinity:

It's not very accurate. My speedo is blue.

Forget the speedo, you do look better as a blonde.

A group site sounds like a good idea. The reservations site is http://www.reserveamerica.com/campsiteSearch.do

I'm in for August 25th if you want to go ahead and reserve it, although it looks like there's a good sized group that could do the June date too.

Okay, I booked group site 2 for 20 of us on August 25th, although it will accomodate up to 30 if we get a big turnout. It looks like the site most convenient to both the dock and deepish water. With the processing fee, it came to $34.25. If $2/camper sounds fair, you can all chip in when we're on the island.

ms THIS SOUNDS GOOD ... are we all going to meet some place so we can get to the site at the same time ?

Matt:

This sounds like it'll be a great time. Thanks for suggesting and setting it up. Count me in.

Ok, I've got plenty of 5 gallon plastic carboys that we can fill with water, so that won't be a problem.
