    Island work on the Susquehanna River

    I thought I would post some pictures of my campsite work last weekend. We have a spot on an island in the river. So we need to drag supplies and tools out to the campsite and then bring everything back. We loaded up the Nautique and the pontoon dock (boat) and off we went. Nearly sank the pontoon on the first trip. Then again with 15 bags of concrete on the second trip. Here we go...

    Do you have any pics of the campsite all set up? Do you leave the campsite up all summer and take it all down in the fall? Seems like a lot of work, but fun.

    You probably just gave some guys on here the idea to use sacks of concrete as cheap ballast. Haha

      We have owned the site for about 9 years. In that time we had children and did not use it.
      The kids are older now and we picked up a dock (old pontoon boat) in the fall. You have to provide your own access to your area. It is seasonal, so your docks have to be out before winter. Stuff on land can stay at your own risk. We do not have anything other than a table, fire pit, and shed. I built the shed on a platform with dock floats underneath. The poles guide it in case it ever needs to float
      Some people have old campers and some built stick built structures on the island.

          I thought I would upload a fresh 2018 photo. I upgraded my walkways this spring and did some more yard work. This past weekend was hot as can be. It was nice to get off the boat for some time and hang in the full shade. This is still a work in progress and not as nice as most of
          the neighbors, but still very enjoyable.

            Not sure why this update is not at the top of the list...

              Open for the 2019 season. Rain delay in April and May. Now water is high again, but we are ready.

                That looks like a lot of fun for the family. Using the old pontoon boat as a dock is a great idea.

                  We pulled our dock today for the season. September looks busy with some activities ramping up. It is early to pull towards the end of the season, but I know we will be time crunched later. I'm already looking forward to next season. I need to move south.
