INFORMATION
Here is a link to Coushatte Recreation Ranch, https://www.coushatterv.com/
There is a Google map on the Contact Us page, but I couldn't manage to manipulate it so you could see the park layout and they don't have a park map.
Basically you come in through the entrance and follow the road as it veers to the left. There is a small office building, but it is often unattended. Beyond the office there are several streets with RV hookups. The Stage Room and restrooms/showers are on the outside edge of the area as you continue on past the office and veer right. Spaces are not reserved. Find one you like and pull into it. The closer you are to the Stage Room the more convenient for you.
I hope many Chapter 10 members as well as other Escapees and friends will join us. It takes some effort to put a rally together, but we enjoy it and want to have as many people as possible be part of the fun.
Send an email to randsborgman@gmail.com telling us you are planning to attend and which days. Give your rally fees to Bruce Horton or mail them to him at:
Chapter 10
115 Rainbow Drive #1532
Livingston, Texas 77399

Rally Fee is $20 per person and we need to have your fee in advance so we can cover our costs.
(Breakdown - $5 to Chapter 10
$5 to CARE
$10 for Admission to Hemi Hideout)
Camping Rate - Credit cards are not accepted for camping
$24 per day - Cash
$26 per day - Check
Borgmans will collect camping fees on Wednesday evening after business meeting. Do Not Pay on arrival for our rally. We submit a group payment.
Attached is a jpg of the flyer for the Bluegrass Festival the week before our rally. Festival tickets, etc. can be purchased in advance with a discount using a credit card. The festival is run by a promoter, not by the ranch. Camping during the festival is $20 per day and is probably payable with advance tickets or when your arrive to attend the festival.
Also attached is a pdf of the menu for the Café at Brookwood. Since there are so many delicious sounding selections and a range of prices we decided to opt for individual tables with separate ordering and payment rather than banquet seating with only two entrée choices and a group bill which would require a larger rally fee. I'd rather have you sitting in smaller groups than unhappy because you couldn't select what you wanted or it cost more than you wanted to spend. I've heard all the variations of complaints on dinner venues and costs so it's better to have as many individual decisions as possible.
