Here is the latest response from the Lake Rathbun Marina regarding a possible Classic Glastron Meet this coming summer of 2016. Just trying to figure out if there is any interest, dates can be flexible, was thinking later in June of maybe even July but first need to decide if there is any interest in taking up the Marina idea. Below is the response from the Lake Rathbun Marina folks.

Michael,
I am so so Sorry that I have not gotten back to you sooner. I didn't have
answers to your question, but Now I do.
We have just built more campgrounds at the marina. We will have 10
campsite that will be available to the general public to rent this summer.
They will have 50amp power at each site. Water will be shared between 2 or
3 sites. All sites will have a fire ring and picnic table. You are very
welcome to tent camp at these sites. Prices for camping is $25.00 a night
per site. We will have a showerhouse/bathrooms available too.
We do have boat slips available to rent daily, prices range from $20.00 a
night up to $50.00 a night, depending on size of slip, covered or
uncovered and if you need water and electric. Doubling up in slips is not
a problem, we just ask that each boat be registered at the office and pay
the slip fee.
We have a Fuel dock, Store, and Restaurant here at the marina.
We would Welcome you to stay with us any time.
If you have any more question please let me know. The best way to contact
me is my cell phone (641-436-6587).
I may have stated this earlier, but Lake Rathbun is really the only open big water for us flatlanders. Having looked at Okoboji, the outing is possible, but it appears that nearly inch of shore is owned by someone and getting camping close is tough since many are RV sites with year to year leases. Next idea was Yankton, Lewis and Clark Lake, on the Missouri River, camping is available, and its a sizable lake, been there many times, decent place all in all. Reservations are filling in quickly. They do have a Marina, but last time we camped there it was a short drive over to the Marina.
Any interest folks? We need to establish a date and place fairly soon if we are going to have an early meet. Thanks all, Michael.
