One permanent looking trailer was all that was there. Not sure if you'd want to drive 130 miles further to my house. This place is as far as I'd go for a day trip.

I can bring the enclosed trailer with air mattress. It has AC & heat thanks to Riverracer. Then again a motel may be better though.

I'm jealous What size? Do you need pop-up vents or an exhaust fan? I've got 2 vents and 1 fan that I took off the RV. 14x14, I think.

Look on craigslist man there are AC units all the time and they fit in the vent openings with no mods. Mike and I had mine installed in 30 minutes at Pageland while drag racing that weekend. I put a drop cord end on the p[ower cord and just plug it up when I get power to the trailer.

$150.00

Dave, thanks for checking out the place! That's totally cool! So I understand, this is the place that we can drive the carts to and in town, (St. Paul) right? My thinking was, those of us without campers could stay in motel and drive carts to trails. Did you buy a permit that day? If so, how?

Bummer - doesn't look like there are any hotels in St. Paul.

Yep, St. Paul. I bought the permit at the hardware store in town--filled out the form, gave the man $15 and got a wrist band. The town looks like Mayberry, and on a Tuesday afternoon not much was going on. I did see a couple of carts parked at houses on the way to the trailhead--which is about a mile from town.

This place isn't near as large as CAW--you could probably cover the green trails in one day. Alot of the blue trails looked too narrow for cart riding. With only one way to get to and from the parking lot, that first couple of trail miles could get crowded. On a weekday it was great--only saw 2 4-wheelers. I wore my helmet, left my beer in the truck and obeyed most of the rules
