I think for the most part LDMA properties can be accessed easily by coach, probably exception would be Itialian Bar. I know most of the claims here in Oregon can be gotten close to in a coach and the Jeep would get to all of them. The Jeep/coach would probably be the best solution in the event of a breakdown by the tow rig would not leave you stranded. As far as the toy hauler/ATV'S, ATV's are not street legal in most statees out west and not allowed on pavement in most areas. Check with the states you want to visit if you have ATV's for permiting regs. Here in Oregon, we generally accept out of state permits if they accept ours. In any case a permit here is $10.50 for two years and is required anytime you are operating an OHV on public land. The bonus is that all fuel taxes for ATV's used off road go back to the program for aquisition, upkeep and maint., along with education and enforcement.

Hey William, I live in GA and are familiar with the LDMA camps and GPAA claims in the SE.
I know you can get a coach in the LDMA Loud Mine Camp in GA, they have 30 and 50 amp hookups, atv's are allowed on property.
The LDMA Vein Mtn Camp in NC is coach accessible, but there are only a few hook-ups, about 12 or 14 the rest of the sites are primitive sites, atv's are ok here also.
But with a coach you need to take a different route to the camp as there is a narrow 1 way tunnel with low clearance and a curve coming up from US 221. The alternate route is picking up Vein Mtn RD from State route 226 in Dyartsville, east of the camp.
The LDMA Occonee Camp in SC is a primitive camp, no hook-ups, no facilities (except porta potties). Haven't been to that one yet, but from the satellite view it looks like you could get a coach in there. Atv's are probably ok. Check with folks on this forum thread: http://www.goldprospector...mmunity/Forum/aff/33
The GPAA claim at Coker Creek TN is coach accessible, but no hook-ups, I think they have porta potties, camping is only 14 days on GPAA claims. Not sure about atv's.
The GPAA Farm Claim at Buchanan, GA is my local chapter site, we have had 30' coaches in there, no hook-ups, porta potties are there, 14 day camping. Atv's are ok.
The GPAA Curvin's Cow Pasture claim in AL has a campground with hook-ups, need to contact owner about rates and availability, they have facilities for site renters, and porta potties for primitive camping and day use down by the creek. not sure about atv's.
As far as the western LDMA camps, there are individual threads for each camp on the forum where you can ask questions about specific camps.
Hope this helps.
Paul
