    I’ve stayed at both and like them for the reasons you stated. My last three trips O stayed at the Ironhorse. I like tent camping there, and love the amenities: showers, laundry, and great indoor and outdoor areas to relax. When it would be pouring rain, I could go inside the huge lounge and relax, shoot pool, throw darts, etc…and they have great WiFi.

    You should get a large tarp to go over your tent. Stake it down or bungee around trees. You will stay dry and if large enough, you can set up an area to put your chairs. Don't have to sit in the tent.

    I recommend getting a can of Camp Dry from Walmart and spray the tent all over with extra on the seams. It really works. The tarp under the tent works but it can't be sticking out at all.

    In my tent, I measure length and width of the floor. From the hardware, I purchase some sheet plastic (visqueen) to get a piece 1 foot longer and 1 foot wider. Then fold up a 6” high collar all around the edges. Miter each corner and secure it with duct tape. The first thing to go into the tent is this bathtub.
    Problem is that tent floors leak, weep, and seep. Sometimes from the first set up, other times later on. A foot print tarp offers very little protection to the tent, and none to the camper. The internal bathtub is not there to protect the tent. THE BATHTUB PROTECTS THE CAMPER.
    To protect my tent, I use the edge of a trowel to scrape away the collected sticks, stones, pull tabs, broken glass, etc, etc. THAT protects the tent. Besides, buying a foot print usually costs $25-50 for a piece of $5-10 material.

    Rich and Kris.....if you plan on staying another night or two in the Cherokee area, try Indian Creek Campground and see if the "Lottery Spot" is available. My wife and I along with our kids stayed there on our BRP/Smoky Mountain trip this year. It is a super neat little place, very clean and if you like being lulled to sleep by a babbling brook then you will love it!

    I enjoy your videos and admire your "enjoyment" of the tenting life. My wife and I have been riding for 50+ years and have moved from tent camping (in our younger years) to RVing (motorhome with the bikes in a cargo trailer). These days, we travel in air conditioned (and dry) comfort, and day trip with the bikes where the riding is good. I was excited for you when you got the camper/truck set up, thinking you'd be more comfortable... which (for us, anyway) means: happy to be out there longer. My question: why did you choose to move from the camper/truck back to strictly tent camping? I would be riding alone if I suggested that move (getting that first motorhome 30 years ago was my wife's idea - and a good one!). Wishing you good times and safe travels.

    The new owners of the Ironhorse changed it. The fire pit was smaller and everyone sat around it. The tent sites doubled in price the last couple of years. I want to try Two Wheel Suches campground. I think it’s near the GA line.

    If you really want to get the vibe of the Kickstand Lodge come through when there's a medium to full camp. Especially if you can get there when the Clicker Lickers @shanestout is playing. Nothing better than a day of riding and nights sitting on the porch or campfire with live music. This is my therapy. The best thing about this place is there are no strangers and everyone is friendly.

    Now you know Moe! 😃 I love the Kickstand, but the last time I traveled out there, I had emailed with them, they responded they were looking forward to seeing us, but when we got there on Monday and they were not willing to let us stay because they had not cleaned up from the weekend. The rain was coming and we were stuck looking for a place to stay. The Ironhorse was not allowing tent camping due to the excessive rain they were experiencing. The girls there in the office at the Ironhorse were super nice and suggested the Fontana Village further up hwy 28. We did find a dry spot for the night and ended up just basing out of there for a few days. I hope to be able to stay at the Kickstand again someday but I'll need to pick my days and be able to show them the emails we sent back and forth I guess.

Nothing worse than finding that dreaded "Closed" or "No Vacancy" sign when you arrive without a backup plan. Which, of course, leads us to the lesson 2 for today: ALWAYS have a backup plan... and a BACKUP backup plan!

    RE: water in your tent:
    (1) I stopped using a ground cloth years ago. They only delay wear on tent floors, they don’t prevent it.. Unfortunately, all tent floors will eventually seep or leak. Instead, I rig a sheet of plastic about 8” wider and 8” longer than the tent floor. I fold up a 4” high lip all the way around. Miter the corners, and fasten them with duct tape. This has saved me several times. Little holes can be temporarily patched with duct tape on both sides. New plastic is available at hardwares. Rain water is available almost everywhere.
    (2). BUT, even before the tent is erected, all - repeat ALL - debris is removed. Stones, sticks, pine cones,pull tabs, glass, etc. THEY are the culprits.
    (3). Water runs downhill. Pick a high spot. 😏

    Hey folks, cool video. Tent equipment is usually manufactured to certain quality standards based on usage being occasional, frequently used or intensive where you literally living out of it from one camp site to the next. You guys should contact the folks at LoneRider. Their gear is top notch but is NOT cheap.
    Secondly, here in Europe, we have general camp sites( for cars, RV’s, etc) but you can also find motorcycle ‘dedicated’/friendly campsites. These ones think of camp site usage through the eyes of a motorcycle rider. Basic needs are covered.
    Perhaps there exists an app that lets you find motorcycle specific camp sites throughout the US ?

    For tent camping check out REI - I have been a member since 1972. Don't skimp on your camp tent. You need a tent with a rain fly and vestibule. You can rent all camping equipment from REI to check it out and even buy their used equipment. Joining also gives you a dividend at the end of the year for any purchases. You can't go wrong with REI. Founded by one of the first American to summit Everest - I met him at the gas station I worked at in Seattle while in college at UW - Jim Whitaker.

    Well, the owners of the Ironhorse clearly have never tent camped, a sink to wash dishes is a must especially if you don't have water at your site and at $35.00 a night, they can afford to install a sink.

    In Europe most bikers wave, usually the low two fingers, when this might be inconvenient while riding, the leg is moved slightly out and dropped down as a sign of recognition or thanks. Even the motorcycle police in France will acknowledge you with a leg waggle if they are not racing to a job. French car drivers often move over for bikers to pass and make room for bikers to filter between lanes on the autoroutes if the traffic is stationary or crawling, leg waggle of thanks. Often thought about having a LED bar on the back of the top box flashing Merci, danke schön etc probably illegal due to confusion with the stop light. It’s the thought that counts. How much is a night in a decent motel State side these days?

    DURING MY MOTOCAMPING EXCURSIONS I DONT ALWAYS BUY THE MOST EXPENSIVE TENTS EITHER. HOWEVER, I CARRY TWO TARPS. ONE FOR THE FLOOR AND ONE TO DRAPE OVER THE ROOF IN CASE IT RAINS. ITS PRETTY MUCH GUARANTEED YOU WILL NOT GET WATER IN YOUR TENT :)

      I think it was $71 dollars for two nights, I could be wrong. Americans would go into shock with the prices in Norway for everything!

      Yes I believe $1400 per night with a minimum number of nights, maybe 3??
      I think $71 for a tent, two nights?? Judging by the other prices could very well be per night. The other site looked far more homely and appealing, my camping days are over.
