This wasn't even on my radar.... Thank you. Being ignorant of the event, I will most likely be in Michigan by then. Is that in the "Event Zone"?

As mentioned above Labor Day weekend is almost always reservations required anywhere in the country.

The only 'Reservation Required' area would be if you want to be somewhere under the total eclipse on Aug 21. Roughly about 100 miles either side of a line from Jefferson City, MO to Nashville, NT to Columbia, SC.

We have purposely delayed our return to Texas from Washington state until after the total eclipse. Federal campgrounds are totally booked, and private campgrounds are booked at outrageous rates.

It is a rare one-time event, and I don't blame RV park owners for getting the most money they can.

Prior to Labor Day, the state parks are packed, but you still may be able to find a spot unreserved. Or not. I would call ahead at the least. After the kiddies go back to school, you won't have a problem.

You'll be fine. Nothing ruins carefree travel more (to me) than having to maintain a reservation schedule. That's too much like a job.

Less likely to need reservations in September since kids are back to school (except Labor Day weekend). Definately get reservations for Labor Day weekend. August, not sure since some kids are back and some are not.
