With camp site or hotel room you can park boat on beach over night.
More then one boat will fit in large slips, T.I. is OK with that.
We park empty trailers on south end of camp site.
If you like to keep your boat on trailer at night, you can park it by your camp site.
Bring some fire wood if you have room in back of your truck, TI has fire wood but they charge for it.
If your new to boating on the Miss. and St.Croix rivers, ask around for some one that you can follow.
It's marked well, but easy to get into wing dam's or lose sight of marker buoys.
If you have never been thru a lock, also ask about it. Pretty easy if you know what to do.
PLEASE do NOT park trailers or car/truck in parking lot above camp area.
PLEASE do NOT park cars / trucks / trailers on mounds by camp sites. They are burial mounds.

Two Rivers has great food and even better vibe. I chatted with one of the owners last year. Really hoping to attend the gathering this year!

Just a heads up for anyone staying in the casino. We tried calling last week and were told they were full. Duran Duran is in concert that weekend.

Ohhh no.

Wonder if it's new or old Duran Duran. I saw them at Valley Fair and was a completely different band when I was growing up. Used to love listening to them out on the water as a kid.

well... i finally got ahold of David at the marina, all the riverside camp sites are booked for friday night. he blocked off space where the sites are not numbered (where we usually set up and further towards the mounds. there is also a large group booked in the marina that weekend, i have spoke for 2 large slips, as it stands now we have 32' but he is confident we will get either 40' or 42'. we will have conformation June 1.
so if anyone wants to use a shared slip let me know (pm)

Kelly was wondering if there?s a block of Glastron rooms at hotel?

i have reserved 2, 48' x 18' slips for friday & saturday aug 19 & 20
these will accommodate 4 large or 6 small boats each.
each is $140 for the 2 nights and i will have to pay and collect the money.
if anyone wants to take advantage of these i will ask that you commit by Monday Aug 15, so if i have no takers i will let one go.
