       See You There



Just look at this as a warm up or spring training to the big time at Green Lake....See You There in July....Billy/Karen

Billy, sure sounds like it is going to be a heck of a good time! Unfortunately it is a big drive and we just don't have the time off work. I am having to skip family vacation to take full advantage of GL! Ahhh, time well spent!

Renee usually tows the boat all the way to Minnesota so I guess I could have her drive to Florida?? To get in warmer weather, she just might do that!

Yes to all above !!
It's basically right in town, water on two sides, ramp, RV and tent camping, showers etc.. It has become party central because of all these things.. Our boat show/display was down at the base of the CG where the ramp is. Reunion pics show it pretty well...

If you want to just haul a boat, there are camper distributors local that will place a trailer for you and pick it up when you go. I believe 2 or 3 members did this in 08'

Make GL part of your summer plans, it's a great time !!!

Just like Mojo said, the campground is super convenient. The only driving you have to do all weekend (save for trips to the gas station perhaps) is the 100 yards from the launch at the campground to your campsite. All the sites are double deep so you never have to unhook your trailer. Meet and greet is right there, and the Goose Blind is a short walk down the road. Doesnt get much more convenient than that!

The launch and dock at the campground:

Hi Bruce. Actually the last couple of years have been on the cool side. Hopefully moving it back a week will help. Mosquitoes can be bothersome,it all depends on how much rain we get.I take it that your thinking going? If so what boat? Hope to see you there.

Riley wrote: Gary, we're thinking about it. We're not campers so I'm tryng to figure the logistics of using what we have. We'd be bringing the Mustang as long as it works once it's put back together. Maiden voyage should be by 4th of July. Probably similar to Maine, so sleeping in my truck with the windows open is not a good idea.

Bruce,
The other option is to stay at the Bayview Hotel. I think 10 or 12 of us stayed there. Older (60s) hotel, but clean and well kept.

Heres a pic from last year of boat parking:


they also have their own private launch and
docks.



FYI, the campground is located in the tree area , below the sunset in this picture.

Greetings from a neewbie...My wife and I are trying to make reservations at the Bay View today. Bill say's he's full...put us on a waiting list. The Lakeside is another option??? I like the launch/dock at Bayview. We are not into camping so I guess we'll wait for a cancellation. Really looks to be a great time on a calm lake. I air-chair so water depth is a concern. Looking at the '08 pics it looks like the lake can get shallow...surely it gets deeper??? We are at Lake Ozarks so depth is no problem but smooth water is hard to find. Look forward to partying and meeting new folks...hoping for a cancellation. Will be there Thursday and leave Monday...

Rogers,
Unless you've done some mayor modifications to the 196, I don't feel you'll have any problems. Sounds like you've hit something at one time and you're worried.

"Green Lake, also known as Big Green Lake is a lake in Green Lake County, Wisconsin.

The lake has a maximum depth of 237 feet (72 m), making it the deepest natural inland lake in Wisconsin. The lake covers 7,346 acres (30 km2), has 29.3 miles (47.2 km) of shoreline and has an average depth of 100 feet (30 m)."

Hopefully Bill will have some changes come up. It would be nice to get a few more CCfan'rs into the Bayview. The Lakeside does have rooms available.

I appreciate the info on the lake...the air-chair needs a good 4-6 feet...looks like i'll be fine...just don't get to close to the sand(bar)..it looks like the Bay View has all the goodies dock and launch. The Lakeview doesn't have a web site..do they also have dock/launch? I'm not used to relaxing/consuming in waist deep water...that looks pretty cool. At the Ozarks everyone pulls up/ties to each other and we boat-hop. The swim platforms help. If you guys think the Lakeview is just as good let me know...Thanks
Rogers

Rogers,
Welcome to the site.. We all look forward to meeting you this summer.. Please keep in mind there are several other choices for hotel accommodations. Not many of them being on the wayer, but walking distance all the same.. Please let me know if you have any questions. Being a resident, I can certainly point you in the right direction.

How many people in your party? Do you have kids? Again B&B's, house rentals, cabins etc are all still available in town..

Watch for the registration page to come up for mare details..

Moj'

Michael,

These guys know each other and are just having a little fun. Don't let yourself get caught in the middle. You had no way of knowing - they are public campsites. Still, a very nice gesture on your part. I'd say that Joe owes you a beer, or several.
