I'm planning to go, as of right now, but it's a long way off, things could change by then.

I have a self contained truck camper and will most likely want to camp at the fairgrounds. Have any of you ever camped there? I couldn't find any way to make a reservation on the fairground's web page. Can you reserve a camp sight?

Dale I know that Bill is going to call the hosting company to see what is happening to the site. Hopefully it'll be back up soon.

[T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,532]

Yeah, I got that under construction message also.

[combatmp29r 27]

I'm sure if anybody can sort it out it will be Bill. I went once on year 2 or 3 of the show, but as a passenger, so I will definately need directions :D

[Sparky-(Admin) 21,740]

Hey Jim. Camping at the show is a general admission type of thing. You just show up and pick a spot to set up and yer in. Its actually a parking lot with some shade trees but I suspect those spots go Thursday morning when the first diehards start showing up. There are no electricity or water hookups but showers and bathrooms are available on the grounds. I have never camped but have been to the last 4 shows and thats how its set up.

Mike......

[Jim_M 178]

Thanks Mike. It sounds like I might be better off to reserve a spot at a local campground. I won't make it there until Thursday evening. At least at a campground I could run the A/C without having to run the generator.

Next question.... Can anybody from that area recommend a campground near the show?

Jim

[Buzz 502]

Holy Crap!!!! There are only 170 days left until the start of the show. better get busy, time's a wasting...... .......

[Sparky-(Admin) 21,740]

An you aint jokin Buzz. I was just askin the wife to call an set up some reservations at the Hampton Inn for my son and I and my neighbor and his son. I love the pool and free breakfast. After driving like 6-7 hours Frioday to get there I need a nice place to get all my beauty sleep for the Saturday part of the show. Seems that theres sometimes a Super Chevy Show of some sort on the same weekend thats nearby and it kinda gets the local hotels filled early. I was late gittin reservations one year(called around April) and I just snagged the last room at the Hampton.

I also want to have my D-160 Twin at the show this year if its all fixed up in time. Seems like theres never enough time is there?

Hey Jim, there's a commercial campground less than two miles up the road. I never was in it and not sure what amenities it has but it sure is convenient. I couldn't find it in any campground guide. You could give them a call and ask questions and have them send you a brochure. It's called Conewago Campground and the phone number is 717-677-8958. There is a Conewago Isle CG in the guides but that's a different one and pretty far away.

[Jim_M 178]

Buzz,

Thanks, I'll give them a call. As long as they've got a halfway level spot and somewhere to plug in it's good enough for me. With the price of propane what is these days I hate to run the generator if I don't have to.

[nylyon-(Admin) 7,374]

Well, the friday part of the show is out for me (sigh!), kids have some school items which require my attendance. Hope I can make Saturday!

[Rollerman 290]

I hope I can make it this year, it be my 1st.

But on the down side thats a hell of a drive & the V10 loves gas. :D

[combatmp29r 27]
