Huggy Posted October 4, 2013 Share #27 Posted October 4, 2013 Considering the number of members that have campers and take tents with them to the many meets. A Venture camping area should be on this forum!! Tell Freebird to get on it ASP!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadwolf56 Posted October 6, 2013 Share #28 Posted October 6, 2013 For any of yous on facebook, there is page devoted to motorcycle camping, with some VRO members. https://www.facebook.com/groups/backroadsmotorcyclecamping/ Yep, this is our page, we'll be camping at Shades State Park near Rockville, IN next weekend. Covered Bridge Festival starts that weekend. Great park, still have sites open, it is a non-electric campground however. We'd be up for any camping opportunities we could make, 2-3 hours on a Friday is no problem at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogman Posted October 7, 2013 Share #30 Posted October 7, 2013 Dave, great idea and good luck setting it up. I would love to participate, but you are just too far for me to join for a weekend ride and camp. Especially if I bring my wife. She doesn't like to have to rush.

dave_wells Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share #36 Posted October 8, 2013 Looks like we have a group The reason I started the thread was to find some members within a short distance for weekend camp outs Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan A few hours on a Friday afternoon Was not trying to leave anyone out Campfire12 - Ohio , Frogmaster - Michigan , Skid - West VA I know these guys have some gems to show off Myself - Ohio - Hocking hills and most of southern OH has some great rides We had a group Camp out a couple of years back at Snowden Lake I Plan do a group get together next season May or June I am looking at. I know the southern VR members have some great spots to show off I make it down to the Ashville get together That is always a good time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_wells Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share #37 Posted October 9, 2013 I am about 85% sure I am camping out next weekend the 12th to the 145th at Hungry Mother State Park in Marion Va at the foot of the "Back of the Dragon" (RT 16) should be some good riding, I hear the tropical storm that is coming up will probally take most of the leaves away next this weekend and early next week.

lsutley Posted October 9, 2013 Share #41 Posted October 9, 2013 Dave, There is a very nice KOA within a mile of my house. Several state and county parks and several other private campgrounds. There are also three acres of woods and another in yards, behind my house. There is a very bike friendly tavern between me and the KOA. Lots of great riding roads and sights to see. Now all I have to do is get this @%## bike back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamue Posted October 9, 2013 Share #43 Posted October 9, 2013 It is a great idea and you reasons a great. I just wish I lived closer to VR riders. However this will give me a place to post the camping trips I am planning and if anyone reads the post and are in the area, they will be more than welcome to join in. Much of my camping is within 25 miles of a motel, because a couple of my friends will make the trip but don't camp so that option is open to anyone in the area that doesn't camp. Shamue.
