The camping committee has selected Pleasant River Campground in

We have reserved a group site that should be adequate for our group, which has averaged about 20 - 30 in the past couple of years. The site is a large grassy area that includes picnic tables and fire rings; no electricity. It's about 150 feet from the bath house, which includes free hot showers. The rate for campers using the group site is $7/person/night. The campground also accommodates all sizes of RVs (not sure what the RV rate would be)
The campground does not have any of its own cabins. There is a motel immediately across the road (Rt. 2), called Pleasant River Motel (800-847-7786). It has 18 rooms, each with 2 double beds or a single queen. The web site is www.pleasantrivermotel.net for more info. According to the website the rates are $75/night for weekend nights (which includes Sundays) and $49/night on weekdays. The motel is completely separate from the campground so you have to make your arrangements directly with the motel.
The campground owner also has a friend who owns two fully furnished condos, which are located adjacent to the campground. Each condo has 2 bedrooms and a pull out sleep sofa (i.e., the unit sleeps 6), full kitchens, linens, etc. The condos rent for $100/night. If anyone is interested a condo, they should contact Michelle at the campground. Note that payment for the condo is cash or check - no credit cards.
The group camping site has been reserved with my (Gordon's) credit card. The campground needs a 50% deposit no later than a month before we arrive. It would be helpful to get a head count and/or payment from those planning to use the group site no later than July 1.
The camping committee (Gordon/Gloria/Linda/Barbara-Dick) will plan to visit the campground after it officially opens on May 1. Let one of us know if you have any questions.
