Believe the state of TX has BLM land available. Would assume you could move your RV to those sites. Plus most if not all states and federal parks limit stays to two weeks. So, when your two weeks are up where do you plan to go? The ballot box comment makes no sense. Stop thinking of only yourself but rather the good of the rv population as a whole. Good grief, if you can afford an RV, you can afford a private RV park rate.
The only vehicle accessible remote campsites available on federal land are some in Big Bend National Park, and a bit in parts of the national forests. Even the 'dispersed camping' is in limited sites. Most are for tent camping only.
BLM also limits occupancy of a specific site anywhere to 14 days in most cases, though a few locations in very few states are 'Longterm Access Areas',
As I noted in the COE thread in the RV Parks section, I've seen some delayed openings for COE campgrounds within the Fort Worth District, and on Lake Texoma on the Texas/ Oklahoma border.
Received two refunds for reservations now not being honored in the past couple days.
It appears that by early to mid-May, all campgrounds will be available. IF things go as currently expected.
At this time in Texas, it appears there are sufficient spaces and availability to move from one COE campground to another, though choices may be limited during the delayed opening of many of the seasonal campgrounds.
Of course, if a person is familiar with Texas COE campgrounds, they know that several still have some sites and facilities unavailable due to un-repaired damage due to flooding in recent years.
Last year a very popular year round campground near Dallas was closed for seven months because the COE was unable to find campground hosts willing to accept the maximum rates the COE was paying for 17 hour days.
As a full-time RVer in Texas much of the year, I've been able to adjust my plans and reservations so that I have no openings in my schedule until late June,
Not really trying to fill past that. Waiting for my first great granddaughter. After that, we will get back on the road.
There is no need to panic. Spaces can be found. Maybe not exactly where I want to be.
Regarding the OP, I've already sent e-mails to my congressman and both senators, expressing displeasure with the current 'emergency', along with many other things.
After all, this is an election year and I'm entitled to speak my mind to them. Especially those who want my vote to stay another few years in Washington.
There is never anything wrong with letting your government know your opinion, on any subject.
