*********************************
Pay for camp sites and boat launch at the RV office.
Boat launch is included with camp site or hotel room.
Key to shower rooms is included with camp site.
There is not water or electricity down by camp sites, But is by rest room/showers.
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.

I booked a camping site online, requesting 34-38. They sent a confirmation the following day in email. They selected site 34.
-
The campsites are currently all full, we talked with Dave at the Marina and it is set up for us to get extra tent camping sites. You just have to tell them at the RV office that you are with the Glastron: group.
