Well folks, after nearly two hours on the phone today, here's the latest... in no particular order:
1] The gates to Hood Park are closed at 10.30pm, no exceptions.
2] The gates are opened at 5.30am, no exceptions.
3] They will only take bookings for 4 sites max per call.
4] They cannot put us together, only alternate sites in a row can be reserved, the rest are first-come-first-served.
5] Each booking carries a $5 booking fee.
6] Each booking requires a separate credit card, cashier's check or money order (more bank fees)
7] Since it's a Tournament, we now require a "special events" permit - another $50 fee!!
8] If after arriving we find empty "non-reservable" sites next to us, we can move - for a transfer fee of $10!!
9] If we wish to reserve the group shelter for "Pot-luck" or presentation - $100 fee! (does it ever end??)
Does anyone have any ideas on any other places?? I tried West Richland RV Park (10 mile drive to Columbia Point launch on Highways), they could give us 15 spots for $20 per night, all together BUT NO TENTS!!
Saturday I intend trying to contact 1) local bass clubs in the area and find out what they do. 2) See if there are any sites across the water in Oregon that could accomodate us. This might mean we had to run through Oregon waters, and either buy Oregon licenses or declare those waters "off limits" except to run!
Help please ... this is driving me nuts!!!

All ideas will be considered.
