Can you check in to a hotel or a campground if yoru a minor? In other words, do they check your id? I'm 16 and I can pay with a credit card (check card actually). My parents are letting me drive to races but my only problem is hotels and campgrounds. They say you need to be an adult to stay there or have one with you.

Depends. I've checked into a couple hotel rooms when I was 16 and 17. Some will tell you no, some yes. It always helps when you and your GF show up looking dead at 3 AM. Legally, I believe you are supposed to be 18.

When myself and Caitlin drove down to St. George in March for a weekend, all of the hotels had prominent signs that said you had to be 21 to book a room. First hotel we tried told us to go away (We're 18), but the second one didn't seem to have an issue. Must've been a local law relating to Utah's crazy spring break parties in SG

In any case, it seems they're far more willing to let you stay if you can produce an actual credit (not debit) card for deposit reasons.

Hotels- sometimes
Campgrounds- never that I've seen

Depends on the hotel. When I went away to college, I tryed getting a hotel room and they wouldn't rent to us because we were under 19 or something stupid. I think the tool at the desk just eyed us up and got scared. Just travel with older people or stick to campgrounds. Most campgrounds are paybox anyways.

If you've gotta stay in hotels and can't travel with someone older, just look all respectable like. That usually will do the trick. I remember travelling with my girlfriend when I was about 20 getting places to stay without a hassle.

I booked a hotel in PA when I was 18 to stay over after a concert. Nobody had any issue with it.

Very much depends on the state, the hotel and how you conduct yourself.

Ummmm...... 18? You *were* an adult at that point, you know.

Uhh, of course you can get a room at 20.

Just look good and if they ask just tell them your parents are out to eat and asked you to get the room.

You don't read well, do you?

My point was (I guess I should have made this clear) that I looked like I was about 17 (still do, kind of) and nobody asked questions when I thought they might have. Nobody but me knew how old I was.

I said I'm skipping your posts. So the worthwhile discussion is still intact.

Actaully most hotels go with 21 as there age, because if there is booze in the mini bar they can't even let 18 year olds crash by themselves.
