Booking Tips
- Book early — Popular parks sell out 6 months ahead for summer weekends.
- Check cancellation policies — Weather changes; flexible bookings reduce risk.
- Read site details — "Standard non-electric" vs "full hookup" matters enormously for RVs.
- Call the campground — Websites don't always reflect closures, fire bans, or accessibility.
- Have a backup — Especially for first-come-first-served campgrounds.
