The official rally hotel is the Hermann Crown Suites. This is where events and rides will be based from. Space is limited, so book early! (see below for booking info)
The secondary rally hotel is the Hermann Motel. Cheap rooms with decent reviews.
Camping and RV sites are available at the Hermann City Park.
There are also a ton of cute traditional B&B options as well as AirBnB, etc.

Tucked away in the Missouri River Valley, Hermann is a picture-book old German settlement village where 19th-century brick buildings hug the sidewalk, as they do in Germany. It sits in the heart of Missouri’s wine country and is surrounded by scenic roads and plenty of things to do.

There are no gas stations! Make sure you fill up beforehand and maybe bring an extra gallon.

Parking:

Trailer parking is in one of two public parking lots. There is a gravel lot two blocks from the rally hotel at E 5th and Gutenberg St. The other major parking lot is at the Riverfront Park. There are long spots at the Riverfront Park that can accommodate a truck and attached trailer. At either lot, you should probably unload your scooter and leave both your truck/car and trailer as you are comfortable doing.
Scooter parking for those staying at the Rally Hotel is in the small lot behind their patio. Access is from the alley. It will be cordoned off for us. Please leave room for electric cars to enter and charge.
