There have been a number of Moto Camps over the years and I even spent a few nights in the original (at least I think it was the original) Camping Moto back in 1977 (according to the dates on some of my old photographs). It always sounded like a good idea - all bikers together, cameraderie of the road, bunch of outlaws that we are, etc but in practice it just looked like another campsite. Do you have anything in mind to make it stand out?
Also in practice, if you spend all the money to set it up, are you really going to turn away a high spending camper van convention and welcome a bunch of bikers who'll have to pool their resources to buy a can of  ?
I've toured a lot in the northern Italy area over the years in a mix of bikes, cars and camper vans and I'd be pretty pissed if I was welcomed on the bike one year and turned away in the car the next. I'd be venting my ire on TripAdvisor not long afterwards. Nothing against the idea but unless you can come up with a USP it just seems like you'd be excluding a large source of traditional campsite income.
Having said that, all sorts of things draw the punters in. You could do worse than try reverse psychology. A friend just sent me the campsite picture below from a trip he did last week. Looks like a great place to stay -
