Paul,
I can't answer that because we don't camp - we RV. Camping is what people do to take a break from their everyday lives, be it a weekend or a 2-week vacation. RVing is when you do when living everyday in an RV. This isn't a break, this is a lifestyle. We made sure we had reservations way ahead for Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Labor Day, so we could just hunker down and let everyone else get their limited vacation time in. Otherwise it was about the same as it has been every other year, just get them as needed. We don't do state/national parks in the summertime since those are always booked solid Thurs-Sunday during the first 2 weeks of January. We never know that far ahead where we will be, so we don't worry. That's why we have membership parks to use.
We've been fulltiming 9 years, and this was the strangest summer we've ever spent. We're on the West Coast and have spent more time in HOT, HOT weather in Washington state than I can ever remember and have had smoke in the area for many, many weeks. Sunday morning it looked like a like snow coming down as we moved from Northern Sonoma Valley (Cloverdale) with the smoke & ash coming over from the Valley (Middletown) fire.
This is one of our favorite times of the years - kids are back in schools so parks are very quite and the weather is still warm and it is a great time to slowly make our way back to Arizona for the winter.
