Harrisville side of the park. The course is viewer friendly and
almost entirely a grass surface. We will have use of the bathhouse
facilities at the campground including restrooms and showers.
Directions: We STRONGLY recommend using the Ellenboro exit
from RT 50 and follow the signs to North Bend. For teams
coming from the Parkersburg direction the Cairo exit will be a very unpleasant
trip to the course especially on a bus. The entrance to Cokeley Recreation Area is 6.7 miles from US Rt 50 and
approximately 1.5 miles from the intersection of Rt 16 & Rt 31 in
Harrisville.
