Improvements give Conneaut Lake Park officials hope
By Jane Smith
Camperland has 118 sites, 55 of which are year-round permanent sites with water, electricity and sewer hook-up. Seventeen sites are left in that category. There are 57 additional sites to rent, including some “tent” sites with no facilities such as water and sewer. Others have water and electric, but no sewer.
Docks rentals
Of the 44 Conneaut Lake Park boat docks rented on a seasonal basis, only two are available. Five other docks are rented on a weekly or daily basis, and they are available to reserve.
“The docks are good to go,” said Moyers.
Volunteers stalled
by movie-making
Moyers said volunteers wanting to help can only work at Camperland or “that side of the street” or on the docks. No work can be done at any other site until scenes being shot for a movie, “The Road,” are completed at the park. A thriller featuring several major movie stars, it will feature some scenes to be shot at the park, beginning perhaps as soon as the end of April. Moyers said the Trustees won’t receive a lot of money from the movie company, but he believes the shoot is good recognition for the park.
Beach Club/Hotel Conneaut
The Trustees also are doing what they can to get the Beach Club open by Memorial Day, if feasible.
Several engineers are reviewing possibilities for the fire escape and what can be done at Hotel Conneaut as well, said Moyers.
The hotel was open for a time last year until an inspection revealed that the fire escape was unsafe.
