Thanks Steve for keeping this on top!!
Ok....I have found THE spot.

This is a place that was a small resort, but they only rent it out for large groups. I just talked to the owner and they are beyond cool with it.
The perks:
Room for 35 people!!!! yep 35!
Already Oked for an ATV or two and carts for hauling skis!!!
barely a hill down to the water with a huge beach that is river rock or sand depending on the water level.
State park/event site is 10 mins by car and less than 5 by jetski.
There is a launch at the state park, the owner also owns a marina 6 minutes away for the jetboat guys. Launch free at the marina, we can also leave trucks and trailers there if need be.
Plenty of onsite parking for trucks and trailers.
Drawbacks:
Its not super fancy....no hot tub. LOL
The owner gave me a quote of $850 a night for up to 35 people. That means $25 per person per night if we can get 35 people...and $50 per person per night for 17 people which I bet I have commited already.
So....We need to lock this place in ASAP if we want to make this happen. The site was booked but they cancelled reservations (literally yesterday) due to it being father's day weekend.
