Hi, I’m Melissa, and I love visiting campgrounds, RV parks and paintball fields throughout the midwest. I currently live in the St. Louis, Missouri area but I enjoy traveling whenever I can.

Many people are always asking how many people are allowed at there campsite. What they want to know is can they have multiple tents, or a tent and an RV at there campsite. Many times two families want to share a campsite to cut down on cost.

There are several benefits to being able to share a campsite with your family, friend, or neighbor. First off is the cost savings. Having everyone is one area and not split apart is another great advantage.

Make sure to contact the campground of your preference before you head out to it to see what policies they have on group camping.

Most RV parks and campgrounds will have different policies and procedures in place concerning multiple tents or number of people at a campsite. Some camp parks do not allow a second tent, some may allow a tent for just the little ones, and some parks will allow a second tent. All parks are different, and some will have extra charges, and some will not. You can check the campground website or call them ahead of time to find out there policies.

One thing you may not have thought of when sharing a campsite with your friends is the lower level of privacy that you will then be subjected to. If your neighbors are in a tent at your site, and a storm comes in, and they can not stay in the tent for the rest of the evening, guess what, they are now inside your RV with you. You will also want to think about the amount of space they will be taking up. Your campsite just got a whole lot smaller with having a four person tent right next to your fire ring. Which you may not be able to use now. How are the kids gonna think about that.

If you or someone you know is looking for the perfect camping park, campsites, RV park or paintball fields, then I invite you to visit YouTube.com/campingstl for additional tips and ideas that can make it the best experience ever.

I’ve also got a gift for you that I think can help you avoid a forgetful moment that could ruin your camping trip before it ever gets started. Me and my staff developed a checklist of the essential items you are likely to need before you go camping. If you go to www.campinginstlouis.com, you can request a copy of the “Disaster or delight-Must Have Items” checklist. It’s free and I hope it helps. If you’re ever in the St. Louis area or have questions even though you’re not, feel free to call some of my friends over at Pin Oak Creek RV Park and Paintball they are great folks and can be reached at 888-474-6625
