OK! First off, trying to find a campground within reasonable distance to a hotel is not that easy. I mean... hotel locations are selected for convenience and campground locations are selected to be away from everything.
As mentioned in another thread The Days Inn and The Walnuthills Campground seem to be the best.
So, the Days Inn on Whitehill Rd, Staunton, Va has the best room rates. Reg rates are $79 per night, group rates are $55 per night. They seem to have all of the amenities with Belgium waffles for breakfast. Sheila and I rode by there and the room that we looked at was clean and no odors and the staff was very friendly. This hotel is kinda secluded. There's a couple of gas station/stores close by but the nearest restaurant is about 5 miles away. Nice privacy for an evening cold-one and socializing.
If you want convenience of hotel/restaurants, the rates are around $90 per night and no social privacy. And it's about 12 miles from the campground.
The Walnuthills Campground ( recently KOA certified) is 3.6 miles from the Days Inn. It's a nice campground with tent sites at $28 per night with additional tent for $16.50. With W/E it's $32 per night. Didn't check camper site prices "CoachA". They also have cabins for $35 per night (1dbl bed, 2 bunks, fridge, and A/C). They have cottages for $73 per night(1 dbl bed, 1 bunk, a futon, bathroom w/ shower, micro, fridge, stove top, table, a/c, tv w/vcr/dvd)
Let me know if there's anything else I can do.

That's good info Classic, thanks.

I'm thinking the cabins would be a better option instead of our tent. Cheaper than the hotel too.

I forgot to mention that I think that you have to bring your own sheets and pillows for the cabins and cottages. I don't know for sure but I can check if you want me too.

Appreciate your work Classic, Days Inn works for me..

"As mentioned in another thread The Days Inn and The Walnuthills Campground seem to be the best."

Sounds like a good option to satisfy everyone's preference.

Joe....When I said the words Days Inn in another thread you were all "I'll get cooties" and the like. Now, they are like the Ritz! I'm gonna slap speed bumps on your top your helmet next time I see you!

JUST KIDDING! You know I love you like a long lost half-step brother twice removed.

DK=Dick. I suppose he came from his parents unless you think he crawled out of a GA swamp. DaBull don't come out in the rain...oh nevermind. You make my head hurt like all my players who can't understand 2 + 2.
