    The only thing that prevents me from taking my bike away to trips is the fact that most motel and campsite facilities do not have secure bike parking. There is often nothing to secure it to and often it is in plain sight. I do not have the u-haul facilities available for my bike like hardcore tourers that will allow me to take all the security myself, yet there are not enough bike friendly motorparks and motels (even hotels!)

    And so I would be grateful for any innovation that would allow me secure storage of the bike at a motorcamp/etc. If I knew of one I would definitely take an effort to stop there.

    There's a sign at the camp "no motorcycles". Quite likely the intention is to stop people bringing the kids quad bikes into the camp and ripping it up.

    On the private entry road, they say "no motorcycles", quite likely because people take their dirt bike into the bush to tend their crop or to hunt/poach.

    the idea of a bunk room is somewhere with open space for you to chuck your sleeping bag down in the dry and normally about same price as camping, it's something that's popular amongst bikers and walkers alike in Scotland, but agree real camping just requires a plot of land and if the weather's fine a tent is optional
