Re: Camp Jeep California
 

Ok, I guess the simple question would be why not charge per person rather
than per jeep? Or at least give the single rider a freak'n break.

Re: Camp Jeep California
 

I am going to my 4th Camp Jeep (Camp Hale, CO, Virginia, Branson MO). All
three were awesome with the exception of feeling like i was on the face of
the sun in Branson. My 2 year old at the time had a ball. Tons of
activities from scuba diving class, golf lessons, mountain biking, kayaking,
hiking, trail rides, crafts, kids tents, any jeep you could ever imagine.
Fireworks at all three were the best collection of fireworks i have ever
seen. Very Americana...well worth the $$.

Been to three so far. The price is per vehicle, and it's a great price for a
family of 3. There's more activities there than most people can do in a
three day weekend. It's very well run, and well worth the price. California
is new this year, and this is also the first time that Jeep has held two
Camps in one year, in opposite ends of the country. The fee covers camp
activities only- food & room is on your own. There is no camping at the
sites. If your jeep falls off of a mountain, towing is also technically your
problem- although the trail leaders I've seen would always do their best to
haul out the pieces for you.

They started to book in California last year, then abruptly cancelled it,
saying that registrations weren't where they wanted them. Jeep also made
some noise about admitting non-Jeep vehicles for one day only during camp
last year. They were apparently shouted down, as they quickly cancelled that
idea.

Re: Camp Jeep California
 

Price per vehicle don't help me much. Why don't they average the number of
people per jeep (let's say three) and divide the 335 by 3 for one. So
that'd be 110.00 for one person in one jeep. That's more reasonable.

This jeep thing is like pricing on health insurance. They give you two
options. Single or Family no matter how many are in your family. So as I
married man I'm paying the same as someone with a wife and 10 kids would
pay. Just ain't right.
