roadtrip questions
Question:
My wife and I do this every year for 4-6 weeks. We never know where we’ll be, so we can’t make reservations. The national park campgrounds normally fill up around noon, so find a site before then. The hotels in the national parks are normally full. Also plan your day so that you will camp or motel by 5 else you will enventually get caught with no place. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> My wife and I are going on a 30-60 day camping roadtrip around the US > and want to know how important reservations are?

Response:
Generally, you will not need reservations if you arrive early at the campground. When travelling, we always leave as early as possible, and stop again no later than 2:00pm. This way, we get to the campgrounds before most people and, if full, there is still lots of time to go down the road to the next campground. You should get a copy of a campground directory such as "Trailer Life Campground Directory". You also should probably make reservations for holiday weekends when most campgrounds are near full. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > My wife and I are going on a 30-60 day camping roadtrip around the US > and want to know how important reservations are?

It doesn’t surprise me. I hear births are way up also.

My wife and I are going on a 30-60 day camping roadtrip around the US and want to know how important reservations are? Since we are not doing any kind of detailed planning, we won’t know when and where we will be at any given time. I would hope that camping is not that popular where we can’t even find a place to stay at any given time. Also, we bought a Cabelas truck tent which is basically a free standing ground tent or it can be attached to the backend of a pickup truck so the tail gate area of the truck actually protrudes into one side of the tent. Any experience with this tent? How practical is it? Can it be used in a tent-only park? Thanks, — Jeff

I believe the NY Times Sunday edition (today) had a piece concerning Road Tripping. This year, due to a number of factors that include misgivings regarding air travel, and cheap gas prices, the number of Americans vacationing in or with their cars is unusually high. The article strongly recommended advance reservations in campgrounds. If your trip includes more popular campgrounds such as National Parks, you may already be too late. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> My wife and I are going on a 30-60 day camping roadtrip around the US > and want to know how important reservations are?
