Motorcycle Camping - Motorcycle Camping Information

Hi Everyone!

I've spent some time lately trying to decide what direction I want to go as far as shelter is concerned.

Currently I use a 2 person eureka tent. Don't get me wrong, it does a wonderful job, but I keep seeing reviews on the comfort provided by a hammock shelter. Specifically, I have been researching the Hennessy hammock and the Clark Jungle Hammock.

www.hennessyhammock.com

I am leaning towards the Hennessy simply because I tend to sleep on my stomach and my side... and it seems that the Hennessy Hammock doesn't cocoon as much as the Jungle Hammock does. I'd also like to note that the Hennessy seems to do better when trees aren't available as a tent.

Anyone have any experience with these hammocks? The quality of sleep seems to be 10 times what the sleep quality is in a tent.

Hi everyone...

Many of the members here were in a locked out status... those accounts have been released as the website is not safe and secure. Unfortunately, we lost some photos in the migration, so I will be spending some time getting the old entries cleaned up and some new photos posted.

Currently I run 1300tourer.com and have grown that website substantially over the past few years... and growing motorcyclecamping.org is long overdue.

Thank you to everyone who is still checking in... be sure to post some photos, and share your stories. If you haven't already, please create your free account. It'll give you access to all of the features here.

When I have more updates, I'll get them posted. I still have some cosmetic work... gotta make our new campground pretty. ;)

Happy camping everyone!

Hi Everyone,

motorcyclecamping.org is about to get a makeover. I know recently there have been some security issues, and I've had to turn down the automatic approval of new accounts, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

I am working on a revamp plan for the Motorcycle Camping website. Please bear with us over the next few days as we work on executing that plan.

Ride safe everyone!

Don't know when you were in the Tetons, but you posted your shot of your campfire there on April 22. That's within a day of when I passed through there (if you were there then too, it was damn cold, wasn't it?) Anyway, I got pictures of the mother Grizzly and her 3 cubs that you must have been talking about. Ranger there told me she's around the area a lot. Got a bunch of pictures--from a pretty good distance. Saw a moose that day too.
