Just curious, as we will be going on vacation in a week. It is just the wife and I now, no kids to worry about (Yahoo!!!). We have been taking a week in October for the last 4-5 years. With most kids back in school we find the campgrounds much quieter. Weather is usually great, not to hot not to cold.Going to Roaring River State Park. Gonna catch me some trout!!! Maybe take a day trip to Branson to take Momma shoppin. Also going to War Eagle Arkansas festival one day. Can't wait!!!

we're full time RVers and we have lots of vacation plans.2015 while in mexico for the winter (west coast) we're flying to Cozumel(east coast) for the week in January.2016 cruise out of florida to carribbean.already paid for most of it.

This weekend ,Oct10-13, is Thanksgiving here in Canada. Some of my cousins go camping for the weekend and cook Thanksgiving dinner at the campground. There will be 16 adults and 5 kids for the weekend and 5 joining us for dinner on Sunday. Then the 2 of us are camping for the rest of the week by ourselves. Going to try a couple Provincial parks that are difficult to get into during "peak" camping season, and that also stay open later than most Provincial parks. Weatherman better get his act together for Oct 10th to 20th.we have camped after Thanksgiving weekend for a few years now, usually good weather, but we pay on a day to day basis so if the weather gets too wet we can head home or off to another of our favourite haunts.We don,t usually have the campground to ourselves because the Prov. Parks that stay open cater to the fishermen that fish into the lake from shore. But like you said no children around,gives the campground a quieter atmosphere.

Thanksgiving and Christmas at Fort Wilderness. Love the Mouse.

Next week its northern AZ, early Nov. southern AZ, late Nov. California Wine country. Maybe another weekend here and there in between.

What a bummer, I haven't had a vacation this century. I retired in 99, haven't had any overtime either.Going to Alabama, something about cars going around in circles. Then have reservations for 3 months at CG in Florida after some fat guy does a fly by.Oh well, what with all the projects I have on hold, I probably wouldn't have time for a vacation anyway.

Who still has vacation plans? | Good Sam Community

We do the same. For us memorial day through labor day is a no go. We store it all summer to avoid the crowds. We will have to winterize here in the next month or so but will take it out to camp on a decent weekend then just rewinterize it again. We may do that 4 or 5 times a winter. Its no big deal

We are planning on heading out also....we will be looking for a large family cooking a bountiful Thanksgiving dinner in the wilderness. Of course this family will not object to the 2 extra 3rd cousins, twice removed (and to be removed once more,LOL) :B enjoying the feast with you!

Have a great week, if you run into the TT with the bear on the side, pop in, there might be pumpkin pie with fresh cream left :)

Going to the Jellystone in Amboy IL for Columbus Day weekend! They have a great haunted barn, trick or greeting and a dance for the kids. Always a great weekend, except for the one when it was COLD! 26 DEG at night and 43 during the day. No problem though, as the next year it was 88 deg for the weekend!

Have fun everyone!
