Impossible to find campsites??

[buellbrewer]

yep.. been like that since covid. And some of the 'kind' of people that are camping these days are effed up. Not so much in state camps but USFS types. All the trash and sometimes tarps, broken cheap chairs, and more trash left behind. Florida has a new rule that state camps are opened up to residents 30 days in advance because the complaint that out of state people gobbled up the sites 1st. I've gotten to where Id rather camp in National forest even though no water/power. Suits me.

I have a Neice that’s a big wig with Amazon she owns 5 campers in different states that she uses when out of town.they all are parked at campgrounds it’s something she will be able to sell instead of paying motels which they all being paid for thru the company.

^ Gaitlinburg/Pigeon Forge is like that- The RV parks are so expensive

Campground. Ive been looking at Kelly park in Apopka Fl. It is a popular spot so that doesnt help any. But I never imagined being booked out so far.

Oh yeah Florida in December--good luck.

High priced Air bnb’s are actually what prompted this. I thought I could get a cheap popup and it would pay for itself within 4-5 trips to see the family. But it doesnt do me any good if I dont have a place to park it.

Pull it up in their yard, if they have one.....

They do but the septic is in the front yard and the back is full of trees. We’re going to check with some friends down there but Id rather have that as a part of a contingency plan.

thats Urban Camping. And apparently, its popular. Its a joke when Karen and I are cruising thru the big ghetto (atl) as opposed to the wee ghetto(stockbridge) anytime we see a fairly flat green spot one of us will say 'nice camp spot'
