Wheel Horse 3D 3,792 #1 Posted March 28, 2021 There could be threads I missed, but as a newbie, wondering what reservations I need to make for camping and a small spot. Any idea on prices and where to call? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,834 #2 Posted March 28, 2021 Camping is first come, first served on the grounds. I believe it’s $20 per night and if you show up Thursday (set up day) there will be no issue finding a spot either way. As for the show, same thing. Show up, stake your claim with an easy up, etc. if you’d like. I’ve gone two times now and haven’t ever staked a claim... just meandered. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 38,136 #3 Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) There are several threads in the Shows Forum. I believe the camping fee is $20/night on the show site. There are no reservations ...first come. There are many private campgrounds in the Gettysbrg area. Oops, I see kevin is faster. Edited March 28, 2021 by Ed Kennell 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greentored 3,201 #5 Posted March 30, 2021 Things are still going in the right direction. Im really surprised folks arent chatting more about this, especially after missing out last year! Is anyone else counting the days, or is that just because Im the new guy on the block and got the wind knocked out of my sails last year? ha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 15,434 #10 Posted March 31, 2021 We had our hearts broken last year when the show was cancelled. It's hard to get enthusiastic this year when there is still a big question mark hanging over not only Pennsylvania, but the entire country. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but I'm a realist. 4 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greentored 3,201 #11 Posted March 31, 2021 Makes sense. I'm remaining optimistic. ...with a backup plan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have been known to exagerate. I have noticed the occasional overstating of things here. Not to worry, Ed, I can fit a lot in my wagon and don't have to pay tolls for an extra axle! On my last trip to PA (Warren) I came home with a 520-H chassis from another member with the wheels still on it. The recent positivity stats have me a bit worried but am still cautiously optimistic I'll be going. Hoping to put some faces with handles and shop around with an eye to finding a couple things on my wish list. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,834 #23 Posted April 7, 2021 We heard last night from some friends they were supposed to have their new camper in January. It’s now being pushed to May. Different brand, different dealership. I just hope our dealer delivers on time to their promise date! Late May delivery will mean we’ll be there, Pond Senior and some other cool stuff in tow! If not, we’ll see what we can do for a hauler. See y’all in Peeee Aaaaaa! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel Horse 3D 3,792 #24 Posted April 8, 2021 I tell ya what. If THEY cancel the show, I'm goin' full on revolutionary and making the command decision, THERE WILL BE A SHOW!
