    Presque Isle Bay lodging

    Group of 8 guys, 4 boats looking for a good place to stay that can accommodate group with that many boats.

    All suggestions appreciated!

    If I wasn't lost, I'd surely know where I was going!

    Bel Air near Sheetz I think it's on Rt 5. Big parking lot. Bassmaster Regional was hosted there.

    I would just stay in the one of the hotels up there. Cleaner than the other places.

    This place sounds interesting. Maybe the new El Patio.

    FB_IMG_1571696606971.jpgReally miss these types of moments when your baby girl, who really isn't a baby anymore just wanted to tag along with dad on the boat. All of our kids were troopers to tackle the big pond.

    I think that pic, and that year was the year we camped at Lampe. 2nd week of June I belive. (opening of bass season). I remember thinking we didn't want to risk bad weather camping with the kids. I know we had one huge downpour that trip. We were soaked outside and inside the tents..

    Everything is weather dependent and how early or late the spring weather hits. Years past memorial day was the weekend to go but it gets SO crowded and that when the prices of places would go up. I say Mid may if the weather looks promising.
