Who's hitting the road this summer?

With all of the virus stuff, I am certain we are all tired of being stuck at home by now. I've been stir crazy for months now and ready to hot the road. In the midst of planning my own summer time road trip with the family, I've been wondering what type of crowds I should expect at National Parks and campgrounds. My initial thought was it would be a low traffic season with people wanting to avoid others but I've started to hear some rumours that places are already very busy after reopening.

So, how many of you are looking at traveling this summer and what changes are you making because of the virus / restrictions?

Just finished a 3,000 mile trip down the Alcan Highway from Eagle River AK to southern Idaho. I had to go through the Canadian Customs travel restrictions proving why it was an essential trip and not make any unnecessary stops except to gas and sleeping in roadside pullouts (provincial campgrounds were closed to Americans).

Most of my trips were return trips that we booked a year ago, covid canceled my April & May trips. June, July & Aug we either did some long weekend and one 9 day trip.

Sept were doing a return trip to Cape Cod with the exception that I booked to late for my favorite campground to get a reservation. So now were going to take a chance on a corporate owned campground, hoping for the best as the reviews are so so.

Oct were heading to Trap Pond State Park, DE and then onto Assateague State Park, MD

My friend went camping to Yosemite couple weeks ago and had hard time to make it back as roads closed due to fires.
What else will disrupt our life this year?
A big one?

Heading up to Wyoming In September for a week or so to camp and fish at Glendo and Seminoe reservoirs. I havenโ€™t had the camper out in over 3.5 years so Iโ€™m reeeeeeally looking forward to it. Iโ€™ll post a trip report and a more formal intro then.


That's a long time. Have a great trip.

Stay home in sizzling summer and the nearby shopping malls are in a short supply of food and paper. No can do. The forest and the river are calling me. Itโ€™s time to pack out for a trip. There seems to be some issue with the air conditioning refrigeration. Thank God, it was finally solved yesterday. Still in checking the date and destination for camping.
