Tower Park Parking News We have negotiated with the Marina car/truck parking on the levee for day users! Parallel park across from the boat sheds on the campground side beyond the Campground 2 entrance. Also we have 22 marked slots on the river side, between the large storage building and the first boat shed. NO PARKING ON RIVER SIDE IN FRONT OF BOAT SHEDS. Trailers not in your campsite must be stored in the field to the left of the Tower Park entrance by the old guard shack. No trailer parking in the dry camping field, which will be all campsites, or on the levee because close-in parking is for people. There is NO non-camping parking in Campground 2 or 4. You or your guests should park inside your reserved site, on the levee as said above, or in the designated field on the river side of the old guard shack. No parking on the roads in front of campsites, they are fire lanes. DO NOT PARK IN A VACANT CAMPSITE BECAUSE IT WILL NOT BE VACANT LONG! KOA will tow illegally parked vehi-cles. Start Planning for Camp Delta Spring 2012 Get your equipment ready for Concours d'Eleguns! Vehicular firepower - mounted or towed ordnance. All displays will be legal and adhering to MVCC rules of course. Dave Aro is POC. He has a thread on the MVCC forum at www.G503.com. Also featured in Spring 2012 will be Engineer and Work Vehicles! Trucks not designed primarily for troop or cargo hauling. We need a POC and in the meantime contact John at 415-306-3607 or [email protected]. These are NOT 2011 displays.

(Sorry, but due to the close quarters of a typical WW2 barracks, and out of respect for those unaccompanied persons
we can not allow two to a bunk, or the pulling together of two bunks to make one. Couples, of all types, that wish
to sleep in the barracks will have to sleep in separate barracks for the duration of the event. For those that do not
wish to
be separated can find suitable lodging off post in Paso Robles).
There will be a small upfront charge of $35 per person to cover the costs of the Camp Roberts facilities. Please include
this fee in the form of a check or money order made out to Dave Ball with this completed form
To: Dave Ball, 18549 Paseo Tierra St. Saratoga Ca. 95070 You must do this by May 1, 2011.
You may also give the completed form and fee to me at Tower Park.
There is no charge for day use or children under 16
This fee does not include any RV site or off base costs only those stated above.
This is a no Host event and as such any trail rides or vehicle use while in attendance is not sanctioned by
the MVCC, SDMVCC or its organizers you must show proof of insurance and a Valid Drivers license to gain access
to Camp Roberts. The Camp Roberts Swapmeet is a no host event all vehicle use done while on base is done at the
vehicle owners/operators risk.
This information is being gathered to insure a fun time for all. Some of the information will be given to the Post MPs
to hopefully speed up the registration process. You will still need to show a valid Driver’s License, current
vehicle registration, and proof of insurance for all your vehicles.
