Camping at the horse park - football

[RockyDog]

Does anybody camp there using a pop up or small trailer or is it mainly big rigs and fifth wheels?

it has been 7 or 8 seasons since I camped there in a travel trailer and I have since downsized to a hard wall pop up.

From what I remember the gravel is really really thick there. Also, not sure I want to be there in my small camper among a sea of $200k+ rigs if there aren’t other small guys out there.

I’d camp there in a pop-up and never think twice about it. You’re all MSU fans.

It is thick gravel but I'd camp there in a tent if I wanted too. 17em if they don't want to park next to me.

But you don't want to be parked next to one of them either smelling fumes and hearing the noise when they all start cranking generators, air conditioners, diesel heaters, etc and run them all night if you're in a pop up either, or I wouldn't

Horse Park has electricity and water hook ups so nobody should be running generators. I've been RVing for years, you're going to find more inconsiderate A holes in $10k travel trailers than you will in $200 motor homes. That guy in that MH has been there and experienced it. He started with a pop up or a small travel trailer and knows what not to do.

Pull up in the ole Camo Painted Deer Camp School Bus with the muffler delete. That will really piss them off.

You’ll be fine. It’s a little bit of everything, including visitors.

After getting the ridiculous quotes from the hotels this season, I'm considering a camper trailer for Starkville and to use on other summer adventures.

I just need to figure out the numbers.

This a hole is looking for a place to park his $15K rig for an extended time (until I buy a house). Any good places with a reasonable price?

There is a RV park/ storage place on old 25 somewhere. It opened a couple of years ago. I’ve never stayed there but I’ve talked to people who have stayed there for games. Can’t remember the name of the place.

It is very nice. Easy access. They keep expanding it.

It's Moreland's storage. I ditched the horse park several years ago when they announced they'd open up with special covid rules and have been using Moreland's ever since. They don't have the convenience of the shuttle to campus for the games that the horse park has, but Moreland's has several things that the horse park doesn't. Their spots are spaced farther apart so the noisy neighbors aren't so annoying. All their spots are concrete pads with full hook ups (50A electric, water and sewer). When the wife takes long showers, full hook ups are a necessity. They do offer long term rates. The times I've stayed there, I've noticed a few rigs (of all types) in the same spots for quite a while. Some appear to be students, others retirees.

Guess you didn’t check the Tangerine Motel in Crawford!

This is what got us into RVing. We moved the youngest daughter in and my wife decided she wanted to go to all the football games that fall. (We had no tickets and hotels were already booked.) So I found the Horsepark and bought a camper. We had a great time (Only drawback is if it rains. Make sure you have a rug you can throw away!)

Get an outdoor RV rug. They're made with a weaved plastic that cleans up super easy. Comes with a carrying case and corner stakes. You can hose it right off in minutes while you are camping if it quits raining or when you are packing up.

$80-$110 on Amazon for 9*12 or 9*18 respectively.

That the one around where the old VFW building was?

It’s kinda how we started as well. I had a big goose neck equipment trailer for sale and a guy wanted to trade me a toy hauler travel trailer for it. I’d never owNed one nor had the desire to but going to Sturgis SD was on my bucket list so we traded. My wife was like, what are we going to do with it in the mean time. It was August and I called the BDC and somehow got a spot on campus. This was back when all the RVs were in the Hump parking lot. We’re on our fifth RV and I still haven’t been to Sturgis. Met great friends and had a blast tailgating.

Yep. All booked up when I checked a few months ago. But I did stay there during baseball season. Nice place to stay.

That's it.
