Would love to see something like Burton Island State Park here

In addition to day use (for a fee), the park has campsites, cabins and overnight transient boat slips (also all for a fee). It's really nice.

I have also spent time on Lake George and most of the islands on that lake are all part of a park system that allows camping and overnight docking for a fee. It's also really nice. See: http://www.lakegeorge.com/guide/island-camping.cfm

It would be awesome to see something like this (on a smaller scale) on one of the Winnipesaukee Islands. Ragged would be ideal, IMO, since it already has docks, power, outhouses, and a building that could be converted to headquarters and a camp store. I realize it would probably never happen, but I think it would be sweet.

I thought there was an AMC campground on 3 mile island ?

There's an AMC family camp on Three Mile Island.

I was thinking of something that caters to boaters by offering overnight docks and such (transient, not long-term). Unless you know someone that will you let you use their dock, there are no overnight boating destinations on the lake and all you can do are day trips. That's really sad, especially when you consider all the overnight capable boats on the lake.

I've done quite a few multi-day boat trips and spent many nights in transient slips at friend's docks or sleeping on the hook and it's just awesome.
