I have to ask the question, what is the difference between this website and the dozen others forums that are out there?

Let me express what I am seeing so far.  This site is owned and run by someone that is in tune with fellow campers and is willing to listen to suggestions/comments to try to make things better for the users.  The site is going to have much more member involvement so far as rally planning and events as well as giveaway prizes at said rallies.  The site is planning on dumping a large portion of what it brings in financially back into the site so far as paying for gathering sites, firewood, door prizes.  There is going to be monthly sweepstakes giveaways, and eventually raffles that make things a lot of fun and induces much more member participation.  In short, being small and starting out, we can mold the site into what ever is agreeable to those that participate.

Talk about member involvement, Thanks Bill.  🙂

The site is being setup as more of a website with a forum rather then it being built on the forum alone.  It is designed for the Hybrid, PopUp and Tent camper with anyone who goes outdoors invited.  We are continuously asking members for what they are looking for here.  If you could have anything, what would you like to see?

The main menu is custom and new features are added as developed.

We currently have a common community forum will a different moderating philosophy.  It's simple, don't bash other members, politics and religion are to personal.  Posts won't never be moved, edited, locked or deleted without a member being notified with an explanation.

We have product reviews to help to when looking for the next camping item.

We have great recipes and have started our cookbook.

We have many useful links to popular camping companies for your handy use. (created by the members)

Family Camping Signs to add that touch to your camp site.

The group rallies, I'm so excited that I can't explain.  :clappingani: Free giveaways, paid gathering sites, raffles, specialized group dinners, games, campfire guitar players and much more.  :dans2: If we can deep fry 4 turkeys and plan a camping Thankgiving dinner for 85 people... and if we can plan an international rally at 16 diferent locations all at the same time, who knows what's next?

Coming Soon:
RV Parts
Raffles
A basic campers section for the new campers.
A monthly sweepstakes so we can just give away stuff.
A 12,000 campground database with advance searching options.
and so much more.
