doing a bit of future planning and would like some ideas on what attracts people to a campground. If you can also provide some info on your usual setup/situation (tent, trailer, caravan. single camper, couple, family, large group etc) and without turning this thread into a whingefest what puts you off a campsite?
I know for me generators are a pet hate, I go camping to get away from all the suburban noises, the last thing I want is to listen to a 2 stroke engine humming along all day and night.
a few ideas which you call elobarate on would be:
Large spread out campsites so you don't feel over crouded during the popular weekends. (how much space would you reasonably expect to be allocated to set up your camp) and do you prefer allocated sites or more of a free for all where you set up where ever you want.
Good clean ameneites would be a must for the majority.
entertainment? do you like the idea of live bands on the popular weekends or are you happy to make your own entertainment.
kids activities? what would keep your kids occupied and safe.
are you happy to pay for firewood, do you like to cut your own from fallen trees at the camp property, do you think it should be provided for free
cost. is a flat campsite rate preffered (regardless of number of people). or is a per person or per vehicle rate your choice. also what do you consider a reasonable cost for the facilitys you like to have provided.
how far are you prepared to travel for: an overnight stay, a weekend stay, a long weekend stay and more then a week stay.
any other Ideas and opinions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Livin the dream.
