It ebbs and flows. Right now the economy is doing pretty good and fuel prices are low. As such more people have disposable income to purchase a camper or to afford to take a trip.
7 years ago we could hitch up the trailer and head to Florida in December or February and find a spot in a nice campground near our intended destination. The last 2 years we haven't been able to snag a spot in Florida even a year in advance! More money and cheaper fuel is the main reason.
Yes it can get frustrating, especially if you travel in larger groups like we do. We find we have to plan trips early in the year to find 6-8 spots together to camp. If the weather is bad, we've already paid so we camp in the rain or the cold. 5 years ago we could make a decision 2 weeks ahead of time, find spots together and camp at our leisure.
I can tell you that we still love camping, our 3 and 5 year old love camping, our friends love camping. We have no intentions to stop or slow down. We take the good with the bad, but everything tends to be better than worse! Lakes, beaches, state parks, cities, winter getaways etc are all options because of our camper! We love it!
