I’ve secured a group of near the marina. These are full hook-up pull through sites. The rate is $35/night (or $32/night if you are a KOA rewards member) and it’s IMPORTANT THAT YOU CALL THE CAMPGROUND RIGHT AWAY AT 1-800-393-4189 AND USE the NAME “ROSENTHAL GROUP” TO PUT DOWN A ONE NIGHT DEPOSIT ON A SITE IN YOUR NAME.
You can pay the balance upon arrival at the campground. The campground is holding 8 sites for us next to each other and, if we need more or you’d prefer to save some money on the camping fees and don’t mind being row back from the water, there are also additional nearby sites.
• Thursday eve will be arrivals, happy hour then dinner on your own.
• Friday am continental breakfast then during the day will be on your own to use the resort or explore the 1000 islands area. I’ve reserved the “Black Catte” event space in the campground from 6:30-8:30 pm for a pot-luck group dinner.
• Saturday am continental breakfast and everyone will be on their own again during the day and we’ll have a campground bar-b-q (hot dogs/hamburgers, etc) at 6:30pm and from 8-10pm the campground has live entertainment – the Lisa Lee Trio (Bluesy rock, R&B, country, favorites from the 60's to present).
• Sunday am continental then check-out/head home when ready
The general rally fee will only be $25/person to cover the costs of the continental breakfasts and the campground cookout. You can pay the rally fee upon arrival at the rally.
The 1000 Islands and eastern shore of Lake Ontario is a beautiful part of New York State that many people have never seen. With warm August days and cool nights, it’s sure to be a great weekend!
