mgaillar 0 #1 January 31, 2002 Good? Bad? Indifferent?Heading to Deland for the Search near the end of February. Plan on pitching tents at the dz. Anybody have experience with this? Recommendations....do's and don'ts? Other possibly cheap accommodations?Mucho Grassy-ass!Matthttp://www.skydiveorange.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #2 January 31, 2002 yes, you can pitch a tent there, kind of right by the landing area. There is also a bunkhouse at the dz, although, I would never stay in it, but other people do. Call the dz for other bunkhouse information...there's a guy named Solly who has a nice bunkhouse, but I don't know if it's full with the teams that come to town.There's also a Holiday Inn and a Comfort Inn that gives skydiver discounts.AndreaThe brave may not live forever, but the timid may not live at all.

mnischalke 0 #3 January 31, 2002 To add to my traveling companion's query, If we tent it, is it possible hook up to a 120V source?Also, didn't somebody say something about the showers?mikeA bucket of Jet A can heat an entire county if burned all at once.

skymama 37 #4 January 31, 2002 there are showers in the dz bathrooms, plus there are public ones for the airport about 50' away in the parking lot. As far as the hook-up goes, I'm not really sure. I know they have them for the rv park, but I'm not sure about the camping area. Call manifest at 386-738-3539.AndreaThe brave may not live forever, but the timid may not live at all.

TheMarshMan1 0 #20 January 31, 2002 OK, heres what I know about camping there. No, they dont have power hookups, BUT....they often run a big long extension cord from the packing hangar over to where people camp (I know cause I tripped over it playing frisbee once ). Oh...and the Holiday Inn and Comfort Inn both have discounts like someone already said....I think I paid $55/night for a really nice room at the Comfort Inn for 2 people.....
