     - Make sure you are registered on the website and notify me by email that you have contacted the campground and what type accommodations you booked.
     - See notes below:


     - Tent Campers:   We are booking the entire Group Camp area and as much of the Primitive camp area for the trip as needed.  These areas offer water and electric for the tent campers. Primitive area is a short walk to back of campground from the Group site, but has electric and water service. 

     - RV Campers:  
You will not be assigned an RV campsite when you register.  After most people have registered,  your Trip Lead in coordination with the Campground Manager will assign your site.  The reason for this arrangement is that the  campground sustained damage last hurricane season and sites are being refurbished all Summer.  The sizes and types of RV equipment that can be placed on each site varies and we will match the best fit for each.  Currently 11 RV sites are available for rent and range in sizes suitable for teardrop campers, some for Class C's, and other for trailers.  We are also working with the Masonic Park & Youth Camp directly across Hwy 301 from The Canoe Outpost for additional RV sites without any size restrictions.  They offer full hook ups (Water, Elec, Sewer).

     - Lodge Guests:  There are 5 lodge style accommodations available:.  Prices per week vary:
          -- Little Manatee Cabin: Sleeps 6:   1 bedroom w/Queen; Sleeper sofa; Loft with queen
