Second Annual Northeast Spring Rally - we're full up!
Can’t wait until spring!!!!
Here's the scoop:
May 13 - 15, 2005
Deer Run RV Resort - 200 Deer Run Drive, Schaghticoke, NY. (518) 664-2804 or (866) 333-7462 - winter number is (407) 384-8875.
Deer Run is 30 minutes north of Albany, NY and there is easy access via the NYS Thruway and the Northway.
All sites have water, electric (30 amp,) sewer and cable, as well as picnic tables and fire rings and cost $20/night. Master Card/Visa accepted. Additional nights, if you choose to stay longer or come sooner, will be at the reduced rate of $20/night.
Dogs – pets are welcome with proof of current rabies protection. Deer Run needs a copy for their records.
There is a large pavilion seating over 200 with refrigeration and cooking facilities. It will be ours for the entire weekend. The pavilion also has a large fireplace with wood. The park has paved roads excellent for bike riding; bocce, horseshoes, volleyball, fishing pond, teen center, large fields, and three pools (which will of course not be open until Memorial Day.)
We have reserved 50 sites. Make reservations directly with Deer Run (ask for Marion if possible) by calling (518) 664-2804 or (866) 333-7462 until mid-November. (407) 384-8875 is the winter number and Marion is there Sunday through Thursday from 9 AM to 6 PM. A $20.00 deposit will be needed. Use Northeast Spring Rally as the alternate name.
Please see the site map in the next post to help you choose a site before calling for reservations. Then, PM me your site number and I’ll post an ongoing list. In the private message, please include your email address.
