Camping/RV to Hotel/Motel Ratios...

[grafikfeat]

What's the typical ratio of hoteling to site camping?

Do we REALLY need to have 2000 rooms in close proximity?
Missoula had/has 2000 rooms? Puh Leeeze.

Seems like a pretty lame reason to disqualify a site suggestion IMHO.

60-65% camp, 35-40% motel. We aren't the only folks needing rooms. There are always business travelers and other people traveling that book available rooms.

Also note that most hotel rooms are fully booked within 6 months of the event.

So is it fair to assume that the percentage of RV's must be very low, in the 1-2% range? If so, I wonder if that's more a result of the general lack of RV sites with hookups, or if RV's are just that uncommon. We've taken our motorhome to several nationals where we have camped at a private campground rather than the rally grounds. Lima is the last location we attended that had sites with full hookups available.

I took my RV to the rally in Johnson City where they had full hookups on the grounds. I took it only because it was close to home. I don't take it to distant rallys because I miss the fun of riding to get there and the cost of gas to get my RV to a distant rally exceeds the cost of a motel or B & B.

I've attended most all the recent year rallies and RVs have been huge at a few rallies. I think it went over 200+ RVs, one year recently. I can tell ya one thing, this turns into a motel rally in future years(not likely), I'm a gone'r from this. I've enjoyed the camping too much to imagine giving it up and maybe as i grow older I can change, but not there yet. RVs I can accept and motels too, but lets NOT get crazy with room requirements for rally sites, imo...You room folks go buy an RV...Randy

I have been in the BMWMOA since 1987 and have gone to 10 International Rallies and we have always stayed in Motels. If I could not get a Motel that is close I would not go.
As for a RV, never.
