Damon, It would be great to finally meet you. The whole thing is held at a state campground that is all ours. There are some hotels around, but the parties and activities all happen within the campground or about 1.5 miles away at Nigel's new house - plenty of folks caravanning there. There is a large asphalt boat launch with tons of parking to keep trailers at and if you choose your campsite wisely, you can probably launch your boat and beach it near your site. However, some of the banks are lacking sand and are quite muddy - so take that into consideration too. Currently the lake level is very high so the grassy beaching areas are common. Personally, I keep my boat on the trailer in the asphalt lot and cattrax it to the ramp for launching and retrieval.

If I remember correctly, a bunch of us seacats corral in the C loop (once in the park, 1st left and then 1st right) and we have a fire and stay up pretty late.
