Arrive on Saturday afternoon and you may not even be able to park in the dirt lot. Then you just have to wait until a spot opens up. We trailer a boat so we need to park the trailer too. The solution to both is getting a slip with parking.

I agree on the Shep Brown's dirt lot being a ****...I thought, being a lot for boaters using the "public ramp" for the town of Meredith, that only vehicles with trailers using the ramp, were allowed to park there.
Not so... The dirt lot was so packed with cars without trailers, most vehicles with trailers were blocked from leaving the lot by parked cars. Very discourteous of people to knowingly, block a trailer vehicle which needs a lot more clearance to swing out of a space...not sure why this is allowed to happen but I will stay away from that area from now on.

Sorry...didn't mean to hijack the thread...
