Camp Plymouth Spring 2021 Event a Big Success!

Post by John Neuenburg » Tue May 04, 2021 12:38 pm

Excellent event! Lots of MVs, amateur and some pro vendors, visitors. At the MVCC membership meeting Saturday, president Chris Thomas announced it was the largest of our annual Spring meets ever. Nearly 200 MVs including trailers and over 200 campsites and cabins rented. No accounting of those who booked a RV Village site directly with their office outside of our group discount block, like after our block sold out. So our overnighting number of people might have been larger than that. There were many commuting from home and hotels. Some peoples' expectations this would be a light turnout were thoroughly disproved. Everybody I talked with were very happy except about the closed path between the two campgrounds due to a RV Village solar panel construction project. Let's hope that short route is re-opened. If not, having a MV to run back and forth with will save some walking.

Some predict the September version of Camp Plymouth will be bigger than in 2019 due to those staying home from the April one being more stir-crazy for a swap meet than ever! The Fall meet is usually half the size of the Spring meet. Can we grow it? Dates for that are September 8-12, 2021.

The 2022 Spring event will again be at the end of April.

What do YOU think of this event? Let's see your pictures!
