Hello all,

Happy 2013 spring camping season. I hope there is someone that can provide some insight to help me locate some rv communities in the warmer climate during the cooler parts of the year, clearly the southern states. I would like to only take my motorcycle and golf cart, but would like to be able to drive the golfcart on the roads to the store. I know there are communities out there to be able to do this. I would appreciate any information.....Thank you

Chuck

Google and Bing: Golf Cart friendly cities.
There are golf carts and street legal golf carts. Some cities are making ordnances allowing elec golf carts to ride on sidewalks like Palm Springs.
I use my golf cart within the campground, Quartzsite, and at bike and RV rallies. Saddle bags and a back seat of my harley carry groceries when I go shopping.

Just to let you know that MCs are not welcome in many RV Resorts and CGs. Some people who ride love the noise of NOISY pipes while others hate the sound. Safest bet is to call whatever place you're interested in and ask. The only place we saw people running around in golf carts in Marion County FL was in the area of The Villages. We didn't see any at all in Sarasota or Bradenton, SilverSprings or Cedar Keys.

Where would "many" be?

Look at Pelican Lake... a little far for the store trip in the cart but there are "many" golf carts and bikes there including several Boss Hoss's.

Those would be the private RV resorts and CGs. The SPs and NPs and COEs just about all allow MCs. We know Ben's Hitching Post, a private CG in Silver Springs allows them because we already asked. But that would be a little far from the stores for a golf cart.

I have never seen or heard of an RV park not admitting or discriminating against anyone with a motorcycle.

The park in which we had a "permanent" site for many years, back in WI, banned motorcycles.

I have no objection to motorcycles, not even a "stock" Harley, but many, if not most, will replace the stock exhaust with something much louder, to be "cool". These emit a noise that would get a car pulled over by Johny law, the driver given a ticket for violation of excessive noise ordinances. It is not cool, it is anoying to most of the civilized world, (and it's ruining your hearing - none of my concern).

It's like pet owners that won't clean up after their dog. A few bad actors can ruin it for all.

I know that some of the campgrounds in Myrtle beach make you park your bike outside the campground where you come in and won't let you ride them inside the camping area.

Recently read an entire thread on Mcs and CGs. Good info and even lists names and locations.

I have a 2002 Ford ThinK/Neighbor. A little larger the a golf cart but is registered as an automobile complete with title and tags. Several CGs, especially State and Federal prohibit golf carts but, cannot ban legit vehicles. A couple of times we have had to show the registration and proof of insurance, after that we were good to go. Great car with a 35 mile range and 25 mph (legal) top speed. Can be made to go faster but why?

No ****, live and learn.

I'm thinking an electric car makes a great Toad if you can find one light enough to tow 4 down. The Leaf is not approved and over 3,200 lbs.

Now just get someone to get the regenerative braking to work when going downhill behind the RV.

On the golf cart question, Green Valley Arizona (55+ community) allows golf carts on the streets and has at least one RV park. I have relatives that live in a stick and bricks in town; rentals and ownership includes access to pools, golf courses, wood shop, activity center, and such. The RV park isn't well reviewed.

The town I am in allows neighborhood vehicles (basically an upgraded, licensed golf cart) but if I owned one I could not drive out of town.

We haul ours inside a trailer........with other stuff too.

The only problem I've had with my Motorcycle is in Myrtle Beach but there is nothing there but traffic and gridlock . I personally stay away from Myrtle Beach. As far as any other campgrounds I have ran across none that have not allowed my very loud Harley idle in idle out. I have found a lot of motorcycle haters, dog haters, and children haters on this site. I have also found a lot of good reasonable people on this site and have gained a lot from being a member.
