Truthfully, Is RV'in becoming less enjoyable

....my wife got talking to some folks in her church who travel a lot with a travel trailer. Seems they are not as happy with the experience as they used to be. Too hard to find nice places to stay, RV parts are too crowded.

You have to make reservations 6 months in advance.

This is SO NOT TRUE! Those church people were fibbing to your wife! :C

I went from Snowbirding to full time and I have NEVER made a reservation and always find a CG to spend the night or stay for a month or two. What ever moved me at the time.

While traveling you can pull into just about any CG, even in the middle of the night after they have closed! And find open sites. They leave a map on the office door where you can park and pay them in the morning.

All CG's keep a row of sites open for the traveling RV'ers.

I Snowbirded to Florida 4 times and NEVER made a reservation for the winter months at any of the CG's I stayed at. AND they were not sardine parking CG's either. Florida has a plethora of 'regular', nice, quiet with big pull thru site CG's.

If you are 'only' looking at the "well advertised snowbird CG's" where they ARE packed in like sardines? Yes they are crowded usually nothing more than an open field and rows of RV's a foot apart and noisy. Some people like that or they wouldn't be filled up! :W

But for every so called 'snowbird park' there are 20 or 30 other CG's in the 'same' area that are no where's even closed to that crowed insanity.

All you do is find a nice area you want to stay in and google the CG's within that town. You will be mildly shocked how many there are.

Stay a week, a month or move on and find another one to stay at in a town that offers something different. That is what I do.
