2023 camping season

Are you still going or cutting back this year due to rising costs? The campground I camp at your having a hard time reserving campsites.
  • I wish MORE RV folks would 'cut back'.. ha, ha... That would make it easier to get reservations at the parks I want to go to..

    I can't just pick up and go on a whim.. I do not wish to just "camp" in a parking lot type of park.

    I was paying $6/gallon gas last season, so I guess since eggs are now $3/dozen, I might just have to make smaller omelets on the Blackstone! :)

  • hopefully more than any other year... purchased the RV to camp, not look at in my driveway...:-)
  • Just thought I would ask. I don’t remember if it was rvtravel.com or rv lifestyle.com that had an article out wondering with the cost of everything going up if that would stop people from going camping.
  • Nope, going to travel when and where we want without regard to the economy. Problem will be getting reservations, parks are getting full already for our travels it seems.
  • We have reservations at state and national park campgrounds in Florida, Georgia, and New York into January 2024 so far. We have no plans to cut back on any of them. In between, we will be at our private sites in upstate New York and Vermont.
  • Both - “still going” and “cutting back” aren’t mutually exclusive (you can do both).
