I would have expected rooms to go for less than $200 per night and outlying areas to be near the $100 range.

Hehehehe. Cute! Try $300—$500 per night in town, and already sold out. LOL

After my blow off at Offutt, I'm staying as far away from military bases as I can. I should have learned my lesson after 22 years in the Corps. I'll take a campground any day over a base, less rules even if I have to spend a few bucks. I wouldn't let a "no room at the Inn" sign prevent me from going out there, screw em, blow the horn with no helmet on as you ride by the Main Gate !

The response I got was "The word from upper command is that we will not be making rooms available during the 2015 rally....."


This would have been my 10 year Sturgis anniversary and was really looking forward to celebrating it on my 2015 Ultra.


So much for military retirement benefits.


I have a social event next month that "upper command" will be attending. I'm sure I'll be bringing the subject up to them...........LOL
Whaaaaaat? you got nine years of free lodging..........

Military lodging is not free for Space A. If you're on active duty travel orders, it is. Some places, it's cheaper to stay off base!

There are hundreds of “tent space” signs in yards all over Sturgis. Anyone right n polite should be able to find a corner fit a tent in town. Rooms in homes run $100 a night or per person. Depends. Good things happen to good folks. Both ways.
