Yup mark....the Pros & Cons seem to balance...
..or maybe even favor it.

I think a place that everyone can stay, from hotel'ers to campers...
..is a big plus

Cooking & BBQ is a big plus too...
..and like you say..Pot Lucks etc would be great.

Most of the others I've tried are all booked...
..and those with space are either VERY expensive..or only have 3-4 rooms.

So yea..mount up yer trusty stead.. and check it out ...

..that would be awesome
