I'm just going to make a reservation at both :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hotel-or-camper-with-a-13-month-old#post-2339831 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 08:03:17 +0000 Ms. RV 2339831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe a lot of people won't have experience making this decision, but I'm hopeful you'll have opinions! We're taking a three night trip next year when LO will be 13 months (2.5 months old now). We have the option to stay in a hotel or stay in our camper. It's a sightseeing trip of sorts, LO will be spending lots of time in her stroller or being worn, if that's a factor. She'll sleep in her pack n play either way.</p> <p>Camper:<br /> - Familiar surroundings (lots of camping trips beforehand)<br /> - Cheaper ($80/night for campground)<br /> - Has a fridge, stove, sink, and outside shower<br /> - Five minute drive from where we'll be going every day<br /> - Quieter-- no paper thin walls and some space between our "neighbors"<br /> - 10 day cancellation policy, if weather is going too rough for our camper, we'll lose our money and pay more for a hotel</p> <p>Hotel:<br /> - Between $100 or $200 a night, but free cancellation up to a day before<br /> - Bigger space (LO can play on the floor in the evening if the weather is bad)<br /> - Potential noisy neighbors (or noisy LO disturbing others!)<br /> - Ten minute drive<br /> - Has fridge and full bathroom.. maybe a microwave.</p> <p>Writing this post-- maybe there isn't a clear winner since I have no idea what LO will be like in 11 months. Maybe I should reserve both and cancel one when I have a better idea how LO will be? Is that crazy? I can't wait to reserve, hotels and campground is filling up fast for the weekend we're going! </p>
