Keep in mind that the camping fee must help cover the cost of acreage, buildings, facilities, infrastructure, etc., in a very expensive part of the world. Even if the fee were cut in half it would still seem high and the facility probably wouldn't be able to stay in existence very long.

I am definitely going to attend this meeting if my schedule allows it. The relatively high price of camping for a couple of nights in a beautiful place with great people is certainly worth it to me, and the location seems perfect. Like Petrolia, it's a lovely part of California and it's well away from cities; unlike Petrolia, it's within reasonable riding distance for a large number of people without taking a bunch of time off. Plus it's warmer. Plus there are showers.

You can lead a biker to water but.....

I've put up some pics of the camp as well as some info on things to see & do in the area here. Info on roads and what's in town is coming after the Holidays.

Cheers,
Mike

Anyone prone to planning that far ahead might want to know that Cambria's got a hostel run by very, very nice people: dorm beds, private rooms, the usual pluses and minuses for hostel stays. It's expensive for a hostel, but I stayed there and found it entirely worth it. Probably cheaper than hotels, although I can't say I know this for sure--I'm judging by the $35 camping fees.

Hope that's helpful.

Mark

Looks great! I love the mini amphitheater. Tire changing will look very poetic.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
