One of the other members started a thread asking where you plan to camp this summer. What places are you going to avoid this summer and what is your reasons? For Example : such and such place is to crowded, such and such place is doing remodeling this year, such and such place is over priced. Lets try to be polite to one another. After all we all like different things but, maybe you can post something that will help someone else with similar likes avoid a bad experience.

Florida, for personal and economic reasons.

Probably NOT doing Watkins Glen this year. Did the KOA and Clute Park, the wine tour and I think we'll wait until we're towing a dinghy. No rental cars nearby and the limo wine tours are expensive.

Can't speak for taxis or limo tours there since we drag the booty back to the campground;). I do need to rent a boat this year whilst visiting Indian Lake and the Saranacs. Which should be a good thing in my life:).

Not going camping along the path of the solar eclipse on August 21. Mainly because all the campgrounds are full.

Where are you NOT camping this summer. | Good Sam Community

About the only place that's off the table is West Virginia. Only because that's where we did our 'big' trip last summer, and we usually don't repeat until a few years have gone by.

It's not exactly camping, but I mostly RV in New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas.

Huuuuuhh .... every month I run our rig's genny right here in our California backyard to keep it exercised!! :B

P.S. This summer we're NOT going anywhere in the Eastern/Southern U.S..

Yep, have no clue what he's talking about.
Been running my genny in California for over 10 years, national/state/County parks.

Rules are no different than other areas of the country.
I have never seen or heard of any campground in the country, that allows running a generator during nighttime hours.

I won't be camping anywhere outside the state of Colorado. Truthfully, there is no need to from my point of view.

And, yes, I have been around the US and the world a few times over. Not to say I've seen everything there is to see but I enjoy my home much more than all of the traveling.

Indeed. We'll be wishing we still were there this summer. The first time my BIL visited after we moved to Leadville, he looked around from my deck and asked, "Where do you go when you go camping? You're already here!"

Won't be camping in California. Too far to drive and not enough time off.
