.... How busy the campgrounds are? PACKED! And are there any new campgrounds in the pipeline to alleviate the issue?
Perhaps depends where you are, and what major attracton(s).
I've been trying to go to my favourite CG inside Rocky Mountain National Park. Multiple reservations made over the course of the booking windows, and so far 3 of them have been cancelled with a refund, and an active notice that one coming up at the end of July into August may be cancelled as well. So they are far from busy. They haven't really opened for the season, and all of the notices received were due to safety notices due to Covid-19.
As an alternative, stayed in a private RV park in Estes Park. Made a reservation thinking they would be packed. They weren't. There were a goodly number of sites available when I arrived there, and through that weekend.
Conversely, had a reservation at one of the more remote campgrounds within the Colorado State Forest SP, and it was full. Not just the campground I was in, but the 2 other ones that were nearby within the SP system.
Reservations at another SP campground coming up soon, will be interesting to see if it's full or not.
