saltyant Posted November 13 Report Posted November 13 This is grate! Apparently constant relentless bashing on social media gets them to listen! I am helping to #MakeCamelbackGrateAgain! 1

I don't recall when but at some point they started charging parking for everyone except season pass holders, even for snowtubing.

toast21602 Posted November 13 Report Posted November 13 I believe last year they moved to all paid parking with different tier levels based on location. I could be wrong. Glad to see them stop scamming people out of more money. Maybe I'll visit once or twice. 1
trackbiker Posted November 13 Report Posted November 13 (edited) Maybe I'll buy that Triple ticket now. I wish Blue would offer that same deal. Edited November 13 by trackbiker 1
JFskiDan Posted November 13 Report Posted November 13 Camelback has new GM, so there should be some changes. Probably fucking up shit this year, like they did last year, well, that might not lead to a long career as GM. I hope they get their shit together. i am assuming this is where the free parking will be. 1

New GM has been running Great Wolf lodges across the country until this job. Fun fact: His wife graduated high school with BooBear so I've seen him on social media for years but didn't know he was interested in snow. Free parking def is step in the right direction, now they just have to allow tailgating. 1
EdBacon Posted November 13 Report Posted November 13 Camelback was actually pretty cool when they had that graffiti park.

EdBacon Posted November 13 Report Posted November 13 One time a 17 year old with a palm pilot thing walked up to me while I was taking my boots off and listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd and he was like "I have to give you a ticket" and I was like "are you a cop, son?" and he said no and walked away. True story. 2 1

RidgeRacer Posted November 13 Report Posted November 13 I love how the tweet includes "a lot". Why don't they just write "you annoyed the shit out of us". 1

True story. Shout out to the palm pilot. I was a pocket PC guy back in the day. The ability to carry like 10 mp3 files was mind blowing. Edited November 13 by RidgeRacer 1 2

Free parking def is step in the right direction, now they just have to allow tailgating. According to the Camelback die hards on Faceplace, they do allow tailgating. There's one poster, Ray, that's like their cheerleader/lot leader. I'm not sure if it's in a certain lot that they look the other way, or something. Pops and I were definitely asked about the contents of our solo cups, but that was about 6 years ago at least at this point. They've posted receipts like the photo below, so I have no doubt they're being honest and tailgating regularly. I do know that they park kind of out in bumfuck, maybe even in Dan's circle. Maybe that's the trick, or maybe Camel softened up the past few years. In unrelated news, I need a PASR flag for the tailgate, lol

True story. That same Faceplace page I mentioned has multiple people what claim to have gotten many "tickets" there and just threw them away, lol. There's no legal enforcement behind it, I guess if they found someone back multiple times they could have you towed or something. But apparently the citations are ignored by many. Probably one of the reasons they went back to free. Certainly the PR is the main one, but I wouldn't be surprised if the payment rate factored in

EdBacon Posted November 14 Report Posted November 14 There was a lower lot by the downstairs lodge. You know the mini lodge by the bottom of the learning area that you could tailgate in. This was over ten years ago though.
