DGRR Campers Thread

Whizbang · 03-02-2009, 12:26 AM

So who is going and planning on camping? I cant find the other thread that was about this. But im a bit fiscally strained so camping would be my best choice. But does anyone know where i would go to setup? And costs for camp sites?

Whizbang · 03-03-2009, 09:02 PM

so am i going to be the cheese standing alone on this one?

mazdadude7 · 03-03-2009, 09:16 PM

I hear that there a few campgrounds around but I dont know anything about them. If they had nice bathrooms I might camp next to you...

Fontana Village has camping at Fontana dam. Its a nice area and very close to the dragon but not close to the rest of us. I dont know of any other camping closer to nantahala.

Proxy One · 03-03-2009, 09:44 PM

i've not stayed there myself, but the Deal's Gap Motorcycle Resort has camping available for $12 per night. i haven't called the resort that everyone else is staying at, so i may end up getting a room there if nathaalalalalalanala or whatever it's called is booked up.

this place is at the base of the dragon:

that sounds promising. Looks like the wife and i should make it. Going to probably get registered tomorrow.

dankru · 03-30-2009, 07:48 PM

we'll probably get more runs in than the other guys, too, since this place is right at the base of the dragon

we can still go to all the events at the 'official' lodgings, but we'll have our own little faction...

anyone stayed at this place before? i don't care what the accommodations are like as long as there's a small flat space to sleep and a working shower, but i'm wondering if they have wireless available. i guess i'll find out when i call them tomorrow.

oh, and if you guys want, you're welcome to my shower if I stay there

update:
Deal's Gap Motorcycle Resort is booked solid for 15-20th, i just got the last room, which had to be the "apartment". if anyone is camping there and wants to hang out let me know, apparently the "apartment" is fairly big and even has a kitchenette, fridge, dishes, couches, etc.
