RedHorse54 578 #1 Posted January 27, 2016 I know there's a lot of people that show up on Thursday, the day before the show.. I'll be there at about noon on Thursday, will there be any tent spots left for camping? Do they usually get filled up by then? Because I have no choice but to camp. Who else is going this year? I hope the Saturday of the show isn't a bust this year, but I have a feeling this years show will be a good one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 16,299 #2 Posted January 27, 2016 You will always find tent camping spots available. The electric hookups for campers and RV's are limited. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken B 3,189 #3 Posted January 27, 2016 As Bob said there will always be enough space to pitch a tent somewhere... With that said the shady spots get scoffed up early so you might be setting camp in the open field where it is sunny all day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 51,787 #5 Posted January 27, 2016 There is going to be a chrome horse in my trailer that will need it's legs stretched after the show so what I am going to need is a place to drop my truck and trailer to continue my time out east. Any members that live fairly close to the show who would be willing to let me park my rig at his place for a few days let me know! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACman 7,655 #6 Posted January 27, 2016 Would it be a good idea for me to show up on Thursday also . I have access to a toy hauler it has water , gen , outdoor shower . I'm just asking because I'll need somewhere to charge my chairs , and also have to watch out for to much heat as I can't control body temp . Don't want to pull the handicap card but access to a plug would be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 51,787 #7 Posted January 27, 2016 I got a notice from WHCC about the show with a contact name & number for camping. Might want to call him to make arrangements. Might want to check out their site for more info too. http://www.wheelhorsecc.com/ If worst comes to worse I'm sure someone will have a horse there with a genny on it! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 16,299 #8 Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Be aware that there are NO reservations taken. All sites, whether camping in the trees, out in the sun, or with electrical hook-ups, are on a first come, first served basis. Also, If you get there early, you can't "hold" a spot for someone else.

Or can you charge the chairs off off the toy hauler genny? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of us will have easy-up shade tents and I'm sure you will be welcome to hang out for a while. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
