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.

No rental cars nearby and the limo wine tours are expensive.Have you visited Taughannock Falls yet? No dinghy needed but great vistas, almost better hiking, and still on the wine trail. 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.

We will not be camping anywhere except where we are planted in our new park model! Motor home sold and now we are starting a new chapter being seasonal near our grand children.

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.

Same here. After traveling all over the place last summer, when I got back to W. Colorado, I asked myself why I hadn't just stayed close to home, as it was just as pretty or more so.

For the first time since 2006 we will be home in Bermuda for May & June. Usually by May we have many miles behind us. Not this year.

This year the Americas Cup Yacht Racing is being held here in Bermuda. Can't wait. Got myself a job running one of the spectator area marshal boats. That means better than front row position to watch the fastest foiling 45' sailing catamarans on earth race at speeds upwards of 45mph. A true once in a lifetime experience.

Will post pics.

We looked into camping in Idaho during the solar eclipse, but it didn't seem prudent to travel 600 miles for an overnight stay for a Monday event.

We had hoped to camp in Banff & Jasper National Parks for the first time this summer, but most places are full. We'll try Canada in the fall or more likely next summer.

We avoid camping in the summer because of all the crowds.

We camped in the spring and fall, when there's less people.

Same here, traditionally don't camp in the summer at all and like to just enjoy our pool at home. We will however be camping in GSMNP for the August eclipse. There seems to be availability at the Townsend KOA if anyone in that area is looking for spots - at least there was a few days ago.

We won't be camping in Aruba or St. Croix, due to the Cummins flooding out en route last time we tried.
