  1. It would be nice if the lots for campers were available on the waterfront, rather than being homesteaded by a few.

  9. Good Day I am from ShelterboxUSA the American Affiliate of an international Aid organization. We have a volunteer canoeing the length of the Mississippi this year as a fund raiser. He is most likely to land in New Boston on the 16th of August for an overnight. Your campground sounds right, does it have bathrooms, showers? Is there a store or restaurant in walking distance? Is there a way to secure his canoe ?

    Thanks for your help
    Dave
