Camping for competitors – City of Lakes and Central Region Tournaments
We will have RV and tent camping for City Of Lakes and Central Region tournament’s close to the boat ramp/piers as in previous years. We will attempt to fit everyone in the show site for this tournament but we will have to work together to park efficiently and must keep cars, trucks and boats out of the camping area and parked in proper locations. Let us know when you get here (See Jake Wilson for camping/parking locations) Once you have unloaded, we will show you where to park your car a short distance away. Boats, of course, are to be parked in the equipment parking areas. Sorry, but we are not set up for camping and do not have electric, sewer hook up, dump station or toilets. Just port a pots and a place to park or pitch a tent. If you plan to have a campfire, a fire ring is appreciated, please keep it small, no big bonfires : ) and please clean up any messes!
