Thanks Sandy! From what I see on their site this is a camping/RV only option so I will look into the availability of a hotel with a marina nearby. Does anyone live near there know of one?

Sorry, to make it a bit easier, look on page #8 post #78.

Thanks Don, that covered it for me. From checking out GFS's link it looks like I can pay for parking a non-camping vehicle by the day for my trailer and the ramp fees for launching. This will work great for me as I won't have to deal with the trailer at the hotel. I didn't see any mention of achorage or fees for such. While it doesn't take but a minute or two to launch my sled in the morning it would be preferable if I could just moore off the beach with the group and let you guys watch over her while I'm sleeping off the moonshine and margaritas.

From some of the reports I'm reading May is a great time for dolphin in and near the stream. I may plan on more than a couple of extra days to get few trips out to troll and or shoot some.

Yes Sir, there is lots of car and trailer parking!!! It's a very nice County park!!

moose, No problem with anchoring with us! You can almost tie the
boat to your truck bumper. The Floridana Beach Motel is an older
small family run property that is just 4 miles to Long Point..
islandtrader stayed there this spring.. Good people with reasonable rates.
Then you have the Sportsman's Lodge across the ICW to the west of
Sebastian Inlet...

Long Point is by far the best we have on the East Coast for what this
group likes to do!!

Also tent camping is not all that bad, shoot even Capt. Chuck and Donv
roughed it this past spring.. Couple a hundred at Wally World you would
be good to Go!!

Thanks for the info Ken, I've done my share a camping and can do a week on my boat without issue but the wife likes a bed and bath over camping when she's on a vacation. She's not fussy or high maintainance, but we both were utility linemen in our past life and have done more than our share of forced camping when assisting areas of the country hit by weather disasters.
