There are many activities to choose from. I have not used the bath house, laundry facilities or dump station provided. The wifi is sketchy, perhaps because it's not password protected. We needed an extra hose to reach the spigot. They have a few full hookups, while we got an electric sit with a water hookup. The campground is small but well laid out so that every site is a pull through. This week, we brought our travel trailer out to the campground, and I'm spending quality time with my 6 & 7 year old grandchildren. My kids even attended summer camp here years ago. Over the years I've been to events in various shelter houses, used the Aquatic Center, participated in a Bird watching walk around the wetland area, used the Burdette-USI bike trail, and attended a wedding in the Discovery Lodge. The tour (guided) cost $15 PP and was very well done. LST 325 here in Evansville has about 1,500 active members that on & off support the upkeep of the ship, with about 50 of those that are hardcore members/workers. LST 393 museum ship is currently in need of very expensive drydocking repairs, and her fate is still up in the air. There is only one other LST (393) open for tours and she is on Lake Michigan at Muskegon Michigan.

She is currently getting ready to sail down to Texas for another routine 10 year drydocking (hull inspection/repainting). LST 325 is fully operational and does several sails each year (for promotional visits and in support of WW II reenactments), up and down the Mississippi from LaCross Wisconsin to Texas. Although not built in Evansville Indiana, 167 of her sister LST ships were built right here in Evansville on the Ohio River. LST 325 served in the invasion of Sicily and Normandy.

She is flat bottomed and has a top speed of 11 knots (about 12.7 MPH). AND COULD LAND 20 Sherman Tanks right up on the beach. LST 325 is one of 1,050 LST’s built for WW II (some were even used in the Vietnam War).
