Big Dave has offered camping for the Dayton Hamvention for several years.  In the future this may or may not be available depending on Dave's schedule and on-site facilities.  I will leave this link active and contact information if you are interested.  Dave is located a short distance from the Richmond Indiana KOA, an excellent place to camp for the hamvention.  The Richmond KOA was owned and managed by a active ham operator but I have not contacted him since Hamvention 2007. 

Should Dave permit camping Hams camping at Big Daves Hamvention temporary RV park will be provided electric service only.  A garden hose will be available for water.  In the past years some transportation has been available, depending on the number of campers.  The camping area has a hard surface pull-in BUT if there are more than 3 or 4 units on site camping in the grass will be necessary.  This can cause a problem with high GWV.  The yard surface is decent but if there has been very much rain in the first two weeks of May soft ground might be a problem.  There are a lot of variables - rain - number of campers - electric needs (A/C ?) - arrival time/date.  With all that in mind, and if Dave consents to camping onhis property contact me in e-mail (CALMERRITT@AOL.COM).
