Since there seems to be a large contingent of .netters with Alpine Valley accommodations at Scenic Ridge Campground in Whitewater, WI, this thread is for us.We really enjoy this campground, and have stayed here for every Alpine show since we stumbled upon it in '97.
The problem is that it's a 16 mile drive to the venue. Scenic Ridge does not have plans for a shuttle service at this time.
If you're staying at Scenic Ridge for Alpine Valley, post the .net handles and / or number in your party. I'll look into the possibility of getting our own .net party bus.
I'll give this thread a couple of weeks and see what the volume is, get some price estimates and we can decide then.
I look forward to meeting you all in the hills of cheese.

Not sure what type of vehicle you have but I think we may have gotten the last RV spot.. (we were on a waiting list and they called about 3 weeks ago..) Pretty sure they have some tent spots left. I'd get on it.

Tip #1.. Be sure the guy driving the RV is not still legally drunk from the previous night's debauchery.

Sorry to butt in, but I can not get a hold of Scenic Ridge and was wondering what the rates are? (Thinking about staying here instead of rome riverside)
Score: 0
$15.00 a night per person for standard tent type site (rates are slightly higher during concert weekends according to their website)Leave a message on their machine, they'll get back to you.

Check out this website http://www.jonestravel.com/ . This company is located in Elkorn WI, which is very close to the campground and venue. I would bet at least half the campground would want to get on a shuttle to the show.

When you see this thing at the campground, don't be shy.
But if you see this one, please steer clear....and don't let the kids near it....the stories i've heard are just beyond your wildest imagination....
the hot tub on the lower level is far from clean....and they do not use chlorine to sanitize...
but don't worry, @JayDubya is would never let ya mix the two up....hes alright in my book

I'm pretty positive there will be 4 in my crew (including me). All in for the shuttle bus.

What's a reasonable price for a seat on the bus to and from Alpine? I've got a quote right now for $25 a person.That would be for one night so you're looking at $50 a person for both shows.
I've got some more calls out to other providers, I'll post those when I get them.

Me and @kindtrades might end up staying here because I can't find any hoels near Alpine right now! Could anyone give me any recomendations? I know it's late. We might end up doing one night at Scenic and one night in a hotel

I don't think you'll have any luck finding a hotel room at this point. Finding a camping spot is going to be tougher every day that you wait to book.

Yeah I figured. It says rates are higher for concert weekends. Do you know how much more it goes up?

I would pay $25/night for a round trip shuttle. I hear it's $40 over at Snug Harbour so seems like a fair price..How many is that based on.. Looks like we've got north of 20 riders potentially..
Thanks @JayDubya!!
Score: 1
$25 / person / night is based on a large charter bus that would seat 54 people.I figure between the committed .netters and randoms at the campground who would be willing to buy in we could fill it easily.
Is $40 at Snug Harbor per night / per person?
Score: 0
Yes, it is $40 per night per person at snug. Sounds like their splitting the profits 50/50 between bus co and campground. Another thing you may want to check would be if the campground has any major objection to having a bus pick people up there. It didn't sound like they would though, and a private charter has no bearing on their licenses and whatnot, so they would have no reason to be concerned.
Score: 0
wow $40 / person / night seems quite steep. The campground making money off of that is ridiculous, they're making plenty that weekend off of phish campers as it is.Whatever we get set up will be as cheap as possible, no money intended to be made by me. Just cover the costs and get every to and from the venue safe.

yup, i heard 40 a night per person at snug harbor. a friend of mine has reservations there and he has to commit by june 1st. his reservations are for 5 people, $700 something dollars for all 5 people. 3 already dropped out. do you think theres still spots left at scenic ridge that he could grab? @phishdicks you said you just made reservations, did they say how much more room they have?

Ok kids, here's what I've got so far.Option A: Motorcoach type bus that will seat 55 people, has a bathroom, and will allow beers on board. Cost, as stated above, is $25 / person / night based on filling every seat each night. 55 is more than we need for our .net group (I believe) but I really don't think I'd have a problem getting rid of any extra seats at the campground the day of. But, there's a chance I could get stuck with empty seats.
The bus would look like this inside:
Score: 0
Option B: A "rockstar" type bus that has leather couch type seating, fridge, wet bar, surround sound, DVD, etc that will seat up to 35 people. This should accommodate most, if not all of the .net group that has posted here. I think this bus and company would give more of a "party atmosphere" to the trip and be a nice homebase at the venue. Cost would be $30 / person / night for this type of a set up.

Scenic Ridge is completely booked. We are wait-listed for a tent site. They were very nice on the phone. I hope something opens up, otherwise it'll be the classic Bark River.

I am most likely to say bus A just because it has the most seating for everyone. However, riding to the show in bus B would be epic! And it's probably a sure thing to fill it up. It's got to be your call either way.
Score: 0
Option B... I likey!!55 people seems like a lot, I wouldn't want to pay more than $25 for option A.
Think 35 seats is enough for .netters... And for and extra $5 why not...
Keep us posted but count me in with @phan83 and @caliphishead
Score: 1
So down for Option B. Do we need a certain amount of people to be in? I'm gonna go ahead and assume that they won't take me to and from the show alone in that thing for $30 a night. So what's the minimum? I hope it isn't 35!
