Experience with Courtesy Parking?

[julie3795]

I'm glad to read this thread too. We are set up to offer courtesy parking and would love to add our names to your database. Our small community is a bit off the beaten path, but we are only 13 miles away from the only public diamond mine in North America! It makes for a fun day! Not to mention the lakes and rivers nearby.

We have enough space to house two or three rigs. Water/elec, gray water on the ground. Wifi available. One sewer hook up.

We would love to host guests.

He was low on food so we ordered a pizza and he furnished the beer. It was a good experience. If you need courtesy parking in Illinois, the only places available are with members of the Illinois Lincolnland Unit of WBCCI in Central Illinois. I now have a couple from Minnesota scheduled to stay with us on their way to Alumapalooza in late May, 2015.

Wrong there are AS owners in Il. that do not belong to any WBBCI nat. or units, but have courtesy parking that are listed on this forum.

I don't know if my courtesy parking is listed, but if anyone is ever in my neck of the woods-
50 amp electric, sewer, and water in my driveway-

I have a question about courtesy parking. I am a new WBCCI member and I would like to offer courtesy parking. We cannot do so because we live on a narrow private road and it would be nearly impossible for trailers larger than ours (19ft Bambi) to get into the drive. On the other hand, I would like to be able to use other's courtesy parking. Can I partake of other members offering of courtesy parking if I don't offer it in our driveway? Thank you in advance for your responses. Cameron

Hi Cameron,
First, welcome as a new WBCCI member and we trust you will have many, many wonderful years in the Club. Second, Courtesy parking is just on great aspect of the Club and you can absolutely park at other members who offer courtesy parking even if you cannot also be a host. Just make sure you call them ahead. They can also provide lots of information about their town/city in case you plan to do that.

Thanks Don, that is helpful information. Cameron

We have courtesy parking with full hook-ups. If you are nearby, stop and spend a little while.
There are lots of members on here who are NOT WBCCI who offer courtesy parking too. You do not have to offer courtesy parking to take advantage of that!
Welcome to come on by!!
