How often do you have two cars or guests?

Last summer we were camping with friends in two sites side by side. Three more couples joined us, then their daughter and her boyfriend. Oh and 4 dogs and one cat.

We had a class c, travel trailer, boat, small station wagon, 2 extended cab trucks and two more small cars all parked in the two sites. None on the road.

We camp in a Forestry campground with huge sites and lots of room between them.

We all had a great time, did not disturb others.

On the girls camping trip to the same camoground there are two RV's and 3 cars.

We almost always have the allowed two vehicles on the campsite and sometime's pay the extra for another in overflow parking.

Our grown kids almost always meet us at the campground. Last Thanksgiving we had 5 Adults, 1 Child and 3 dogs in the camper for 4 days. Nice being able to get everyone together & having enough space to do it.... Love THs...... :)

For several years we went to a couple of SP's on the East Coast for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Whichever night we had the "holiday dinner" we'd often have 4-5 vehicles at the site: our Pickup, the BIL's pickup (they camped at the same parks) and then typically 2 -3 cars from relatives or friends in the area. .....but usually just for the big dinner, then everyone goes their separate ways.

Almost always have two and have had 3 on several occasions when one of the girls was staying with us. We full-time and work, so there are times when we are in town where we both need to head into separate offices.

edit: We always park where we are required and almost always pay a fee for that second car (where required). Just because I live where I'm at doesn't give me the right to muck it up for others who are simply trying to enjoy a weekend away. Wish "some" of those weekend away people would feel the same for those of us that live where we are at.

However, since there seemed to be some anamosity in the OP... To be clear: we keep the cars parked where appropriate - either on the site fully or overflow parking.

OP here, no animosity whatsoever. What prompted the post was a discussion on how big of an RV will fit into most parks.

Someone mentioned that larger tow vehicles were more of a challenge than a larger coach. I figured that multiple vehicles could also be challenging.

I've had several guests myself and they inevitably park on the road in front of my RV. I always have to show them where the overflow parking is once they arrive.

Thanks for clarifying. I think I read more into your words than were there. :) Cheers.

We try to be very mindful of where and how we park folks. In fact, we were parked just last week and moved my in-laws car to let a motorhome across from us pull out easier.

I'd say often. We tend to stay close to home so we will have the dually and 5th wheel plus our SUV and maybe a trailer/boat/4wheeler depending on where we are staying,

Same here.

DW doesn't have the same amount of vacation days as I do, so I usually leave a day befor her and she comes to the park straight from work. We camp a lot at State Parks that are within 100 miles of home. I double tow with the boat and she brings a trailer with our scooters.

Pretty often for us. We regularly travel and my wife's parents join us for the duration.

Usually only during our summer seasonal trip. We travel to see family for the summer, so they visit often. The campground has a lake for swimming, boating and fishing as well as a large pool. Rarely does a day go by, except the weekends, that we don't have a few visitors. Our site is large enough for about 5 additional cars (not counting our toad).

We always do, truck to pull with, Jeep if going where we can off-road, otherwise we take Honda to sightsee with.
