Just wondering if it would be worth a 2 hour drive to go to this store

Considering the price of gas, probably not, unless they have something you need and nobody else has it.

Most usually not worth a 20 mile drive.Can you order what you want online,or are you just going to go to look.

It's a typical Camping World store. I am only 1 hour away and will not drive that far when I can get what I need locally or online. If you want the experience of shoping or just checking out a Camping World I would do when there is one in the area when camping.

Camping World is a very unique store however it is not worth a 2 hour drive just to go there. Wait until you are in the area.
There are no camping World's near me. Closest is about 11/2 away. I'm not sure how they determine their locations but there is not a store in MD.
CW needs to look at how Bass Pro,Ikea positions its stores. They are spread out but are able to draw from large metro areas. CW is far from being nationwide. They are very sporadic on the est coast.

I took about a 2 hour drive to CW then I got my first MH, it was good for me to see all that was available, got to talk to other customers in the store and learned much. Bought lots and learned.

If you feel like a ride go for it. We enjoy going to the different Camping World stores. We use the Belleville, MI store when home which is an old store with a great bunch of employees, same with the 2 small stores in MI. We have stopped at others on the road but find the Belleville to be one of our favorites.
Location for Camping World are mostly anchored by a local RV Dealership and there are a lot more Camping Worlds than Bass Pro, Ikea, and Cabala's. Camping World store are also easier to get into with an RV.

It's a 3 hour drive to Winchester for us, or 3 1/2 to the CW in Roanoke, we never go to either one, unless we are traveling through the area.

I have been known to make the hour drive to the Roanoke Camping World store, in part because it is right beside both a Tractor Supply and a Gander Mountain store, even though there is an RV dealer about 5 miles up the road who carries a lot of parts and is very good about ordering anything I need. But folks are right: you can get it online even if you can't get it in person nearby. When I go, it is sometimes because I rather enjoy being able to fondle the merchandise before I buy, rather than because I can't get it any cheaper way. It's a nice drive, but not a way to save any money, especially with the cost of fuel these days.

If they sold RVs there and I was in the market, I might go to kick a few tires. But they don't sell RVs at that particular store.
