Announcement. After 3 years of no camping on the island I am happy to announce that we will be able to make reservations at the park
The last years have been a little challenging for our gathering however we always had a great time. C-Brats are always ready to be part of the adventure. Joyce and I are looking forward to visiting with friends…both old and new. Hontoon does NOT have an onsite park manager at this time so I am not sure what tables and chairs they will allow us to use but we will work things out. We are going to spend 5 days on the river by Hontoon starting Nov. 14th and will gather additional information.

To make a reservation you must call this number. 833-953-2583 THE FLORIDA RESERVATION SYSTEM DOES NOT COVER HONTOON AT THIS TIME. If this changes I’ll post here.
Please do not say this is a group reservation. I was told that they were not set up for groups but we can make reservations as individual boats. There are only about 30 slips available and it’s first come first served by reservation.
Slips are $23.00 per night with power available for $9.00 additional per night……plus tax.

Will be posting more in a week or so. Looking forward to seeing C-Dorys and other trailer trawlers on the St. John’s.

For anyone having questions needing a quick response please send me a personal message with a phone number and I’ll get back to you ASAP.

Thanks …Tom and Joyce on the C- Otter

Reading the Hontoon Landing State Park web site seems to indicate there is a manager, and some staff, plus camping seems to now be open again--and perhaps overnight boating is again allowed? If so, that bodes well for the gathering. We wish we could be there--but age and health dictates otherwise. We will be there in spirit and thinking about all of our C Dory friends. We miss you all. If you are traveling to Hontoon via I 10, remember that we are only about 20 minutes off the Freeway at exit #7, have a place for you to park your boat, and free lodging at "Camp Thataway". If coming by boat, we are near the head of Perdido Bay on Bayou Marcus and always have space at our dock for C Brats. We would love to see old friends, and meet new ones.
Safe travels!
Bob and Marie
