Districts 2 & 4 are joining together primarily for a picnic on July 30, 31 and August 1 at the Marrysville Campground.  We will be camping all weekend as well as fishing, canoeing and outdoor games.  This is a family event so all are welcome.  You can stay for one or two nights or just show up for the picnic at 12:00 pm Saturday.  You don't have to have a family membership.  Bring all your own equipment.  We will be supplying the food for the Picnic on Saturday.  We need to have a count on the amount of campsites we will be needing.  I will pay for the site ahead of time (around $15/night) and you can pay me when you get there.  Depending on how many sites we need we may even pay for that but don't assume anything ahead of time.  Please RSVP to Tim (District4) d3gamecalls@comcast.net or DJ (District 2) beckeyd@mounties.mansfield.edu no later than Friday, July 9th on how many tent sites and people you will be bringing.  Should be a great time and I look forward to it.
"Predators are either active & feeding, semi-active & callable, or utterly inactive & then practically speaking, no call is needed; we're just taking our guns for a walk. We can & should get used to it, & follow their leed cuz they just ain't eager nor apt to follow our’s any time soon!

I'm going to let DJ answer these questions because he is the one communicating with the campground.

I slept so much in my car predator hunting that it is almost home . lol

Thanks for the tent offer, I might have to take you up on it but my car is still an option

It looks like swarter2 might be bringing an an 8 man tent.
 
I now have three options for sleeping, but a good bed and a shower are high on my list. But a hotel will keep me from hanging out all night at the campgrounds and lying too everybody about my fishing and hunting skills. All tough decisions!!

Good News Buckwheat.  I don't know where DJ is to answer some of your questions but I'll try to get a hold of him again.

I am pretty sure he was busy all weekend and was away from home.  I am sure he will chime in then.

Bob--The campground is located near marysville,PA and it is where the Juniata River dumps into the main branch of the Susky. I used to wade this section of the river in my younger days before I got a boat, i've been through there with a canoe and I think I could only get my jet boat upstream from camp...if that. But there is great smallie fishing here with an occassional wallye. Where those fish are located, usually have a few deep holes where we could find some nice cats too.

They do allow hook ups for campers if someone wanted to bring one of those along, I think their rates are 20 a night with water and elect but check the page. I dont' think they have any cabins or cottages, but I can check in to that for you Ernie, if the wall tent is not what you're looking for.
