Answer 1

1. Weekend campground or long term vacation
2. Anywhere from 50-1000 miles
3. How many times a year DID I camp - 2 weekends of each month (April-October) and an average of 3-5 days per stay
4. We are now on our 5th travel trailer
5. $23-30 per night
6. Bring it all
7. No more than it would cost if we were eating at home.
8. Nothing - I went to relax
9. Water, electric, free showers, playground for the kids
10. They have all I need
11. When they charge me extra for bringing my dependant children along. When the showers cost money. The water is not hot until you have put in your 3-4 quarter-what a waste.
12. 45-55 age group
13. Small city in northern MS
ps - I am a campground owner, which is what brought me to this question. If you are a camper first and a campground owner after several years of camping, you will be a more successful owner because you know what your clientele will be looking for.
