- orfsotrExplorerQuite often actually. We do a lot of kayaking and often have other family members join us for a few days. Down to Panama City Beach Ironman in Nov, daughter came down from NC and son joined us from Tallahassee, so three cars total there. Generally when we are out on longer trips, it's just us, our MH and Jeep. We did camp next to some full timers (family of 6) who towed one vehicle and drove 2 more!
- GoostoffExplorerWe always have 3. The dually to pull the trailer, the van to pull the boat and haul the rest of the family, and the daughter works weekends so she need sher car to go to work. We can also have a few more depending on what we have going on. Most of the time just friends and family coming to throw back a few around the fire. There is very little overflow parking at the COE park thatwe frequent so we try to make due the best we can.
- SuzzeeeQ2012Explorerwith the Never crowd. We have a RZR and a pull behind car parked at our campsite :)
- wannavolunteerFExplorerIt depends... Easter weekend, my brother and his wife joined us in the state park that we were camping in. After lunch, we took a long hike including all the dogs. They like us have annual state park pass and this park is less than 30 miles from their home, so they would have likely been at the park even if I wasn't.
Mid March, met DD, SIL and DGD in Savannah. DD and SIL were attending/participating in a wedding there. I babysat DGD during non-child-friendly events and also dog-sat so they didn't have to pay high rates for having dog at hotel. Due to scheduling issues, daughter and son-in-law drove separately and then left his truck at campground, very near wedding site, so they didn't have to pay additional parking for second vehicle.
We have had many family gatherings in campgrounds and are always careful not to block roadways or park in the wrong place. We are always aware of parking rules and check with management if there are any questions/concerns. We are a camping family and have had numerous gatherings with tents, TT's, and MH's all in the same campground area to enjoy sharing time together. - abc40kidsExplorerAlmost every time, we don't camp really far away so many times I roll out early and get set up and they will come down later that day after school or work. My daughter will meet up with us also. Most places we go have very large sites so no issue with more cars, if it's a problem not too hard to find a spot for car.
- GaryWTExplorerYears back I might head off with the kids and my wife would come up the next day or I would commute to work but now I wait and my wife and I travel together, does not make sense to drive 2 or more hours in different vehicles. Once camping, sometimes our youngest will join us from college or my parents will visit but that is not every trip so mostly we have just the truck.
- Chock_Full_o__NExplorerVery seldom do we have two cars, unless we're having the kids go with us. Then we need two cars to transport everyone and to give the kids a way to get around, if they want to go off and do something by themselves.

. - jaycocamprsExplorerGuests, not often. Two cars, alot. Many time during the year I will either take a extra day from work. Or I will take the trailer with me to work and leave for the campground from work. When this happens the DW drives her car to the campground after she gets off work.
- michigansandzilExplorerLast year it seemed like almost half the time we had two cars. Our work schedules don't always coincide so sometimes two cars is necessary. We have guests about once a year.
