2015 Hobie Bass Open Kentucky advice / info

I am considering attending this event this year. It would be a big road trip for me. I know nothing of the area. Any members on here have any experience from last years event? Looking for advice on where to stay or not to stay? If you rather discuss vs post here that works as well; in fact I would like to talk to some folks if possible.
Thanks in Advance - Brian

I'm considering in going too but I'm in the same boat as you would like get more info about the area. If I decide to make this trip it would be a long trip for from Virginia beach VA. I'm active duty and my wife is always encouraging me to sign for all this tournaments that I can't really make but I'm really considering this one

I will be attending. There will be a few of us coming down from Ontario, Canada. I didn't attend last year, but a few of my friends did and they couldn't say enough good things about the event and the area.

Coming from AZ if I can make it. Definitely need to do some more research.

I live 30 mins from there and I am thinking about going. I have never entered any Tournament or anytime before. I would stay at the state park would be your best bet but sure it will be full soon. Anyone have any advise for someone entering first tournament ?
