Who's camping and who's hoteling?

Motel-ing. At 74, I need what sleep I can get!

We have mostly stayed in motels since the ill fated fiasco at Doomsburg. That year we camped with the Camp Gears youth and survived it, albeit even with the failure of the site to provide contracted for facilities. Now I use supplemental oxygen at night and periodically during the day, so tenting it is not particularly practical.

Hoteling it.

We will be in our RV onsite.

Had an overlander site, upgraded to RV site so we can have power for AC!

Camp Hilton in Mt Juliet!
My camping days are behind me. I used to sleep on the ground or in the bed of my truck!

It would be interesting to see a breakdown of who camped, rv, motels.

When solo or with my son we usually camp. With my pillion (who has logged 13k for 2 national rallies) we hotel it. A small price to pay for such lovely company (and she doesn't snore)

That would be interesting to see. Not sure how they could get the information.
It could be on the registration form, but people who register ahead sometimes change their mind between camping and motel.

Found a reasonable rate 9 miles from the rally, so no camping this year. The cost and simplicity vs. hauling a tent air mattress, and sleeping bag won. I'll save camping for the Falling Leaf Rally.

Try redoing your Avatar. It'd too fuzzy to make out.
The site shows to use at least 400x400

My wife and I will be in Overland Camping with our Camper Van and Bikes... Our club has a tent in the Charter Club Camping area and most of our members will be camping there.

It would be even more interesting to see a graph over time as I suspect the number of campers has gone down over the years.

I’ve always moteled it but I think the Sherpa thing would be best but I don’t camp in the heat when I do camp. Yeah I know I’m a weenie.

I am looking forward to this, but no fires and no picnic tables in the RV/Overland areas is a bit of a bummer.

Did they ever have picnic tables or allow fires in the overland area?

I just picked up a fairly nice folding table at Home Depot for $60.00 Light weight and plastic 6 ft long. It is in my trailer...

It’s my first rally and I will be camping. Had a reservation at a hotel but thought I would prefer to just be on site. We will see how it goes.
