Abstract: A floating campgrounds comprises one or more barge type units which are coupled together to form an integral camping system. A typical floating campground would include fenced areas on the upper surface thereof where recreational vehicles are secured, storage facilities in the hull for automobiles, camping support facilities and a tug or tow type vessel to move the barge units over waterways. The various barges would also include facilities such as a swimming pool, restaurant and recreational and living facilities. The barge system would travel over inland waterways, while campers live in their vehicles and enjoy the facilities provided on board. This transport arrangement would result in considerable fuel savings while providing a unique flexible vacation environment.
