We will be breaking our #1 rule this year and venture out on a holiday weekend. It will not be so much a 'camping' trip as we will be staying at a KOA. The trailer will be our private 'hotel room'.What about you? Do you usually go out on holidays? Prefer crowded parks vs quiet ones? Taking kids along? Whatever your plans, Happy Birthday USA!

Up until this year, we use to go up to Sault Saint Marie, Michigan/Ontario. The Saint Mary's River is all that separates it from Canada. July 1st is Canada Day, so that week is pretty festive up there. The Soo Locks has Engineering Day and you can tour the engineering facilities/mechanisms of the locks.

Not camping because we don't have a unit plus up here it's just a bit nuts, and still undecided what to do. BIL usually does a b-day pool party for MIL but he's doing it Friday instead because everybody but ME has the day off. We might take the train into Boston rather than try to park there. If we did have our 5er and the time I'd LOVE to be at Camp Hatteras for the 4th.

Since I'm retired, I do my best to avoid driving on holidays. Too many drunks on the road.

Well this is the first 4th of July we have had the trailer and we are going camping. Depends on what we run into if we will go on a Holiday weekend in the future. We found a place that is close and has a loop with only 3 spots on it far from the playground and swimming area. So maybe it will not be too bad. We are empty nesters so no kids.

We definitely try to avoid major holidays in campgrounds. Not always possible - and as for the camper as your "private hotel," that sure works well! Have fun!
