Camping Spot Savers
Loyd from Yosemite Blog instant messaged me a great business idea today:
Here’s a great part time business to start…. camping spot savers! On major holidays they go in a few days in advance, set up a tent, and camp there until the payee gets there.If they get a good spot the payee could “tip” them. We could get college students and high school kids above 18 to do it.
Maybe charge about $7.50 on top of the campsite fee not including tip. Pay in advance credit card deal.
Because a lot of campgrounds are first come, first serve and don’t offer reservations or if they do they book quickly like the ones in Yosemite.
I wonder what someone who runs campgrounds, say Warren Meyer, would have to say about this?

Any where there is a line this could happen–especially for tickets or seating at an event with general admission. I would gladly pay $10 to skip the line!

I agree with you that this could work anywhere there was a line, if you could get a cheap enough labor source to hold the spots. Camping offers the advantage of not requiring that someone not actually be IN the campsite at all times. If you had some quick setup tents, you could go and slap them up in multiple spaces.
Perhaps the outside of the tents could say “Don’t let someone beat you to your favorite spot, visit http://www.save-a-spot.com“…
