Motorcycle ownership has been growing exponentially over the past few years. As gas prices rise, motorcycle have become a much less expensive alternative for commuting, pleasure riding and travel. One of the most significant increases in the motorcycle population are adult and middle-aged riders who either have taken a long hiatus from the sport while raising a family, or are entering the sport for the first time. It’s only natural that once riding a motorcycle gets into the blood, people venture farther and farther from their homes.
Luckily as more and more people opt to travel by motorcycle, motorcycle campgrounds, resorts and lodges have become common place in many parts of the country . This web site is here to help the motorcycle camper or touring motorcyclist locate those biker-friendly lodgings along their route. Depending on preference and budget, you may want to stay in a nice cozy cabin with all the amenities, or camp out under the stars in a tent, some may even want to bring their RV and park it on a pad with their motorcycle in a trailer — it’s up to you. One thing is for sure though, when you can find a nice place to stay, motorcycle camping is great fun.
When traveling in parts of the country where there aren’t a lot of motorcycle-specific resorts or campgrounds, you might want to check out KOA Kampgrounds. They’re usually very nice and most of them have some small cabins where you can park your bike right at the front door. For only $14 a year you can buy a KOA Kard that will give you 10% discounts on your stays, as well as other discount offerings such as a 15% discount on motorcycle rentals through EagleRider, if you want to rent a bike or take a tour somewhere. As I’m sure you know, KOA’s are just about everywhere, and they’re not just for the RV crowd anymore, although you should expect to see plenty of those there as well.
Over time we will be adding more useful information, articles and reviews about motorcycle camping and motorcycle campgrounds. You can also find many motorcycle and camping accessories, equipment, books, apparel and more at our sister site Motorcycle Camping USA.
