There is a saying about doing the same thing expecting different results.

Especially when what we needed was NOT just a simple 1 night over night stay. What this meant was we spent a night in a VERY well lit (bright) Cabela’s parking lot. So we couldn’t really adjust our plans around what was available. We had reservations in Wyoming for the following week and reservations in Colorado the week prior. The short story is: the nights we needed we not available. So back to my story about booking for South Dakota. So this means if your travel plans include a stay during the weekend (which let’s face it, you need someplace to stay Friday through Sunday), those places need to be booked as soon as possible when traveling to popular destinations. One thing we’ve learned is the weekends and the holidays are the first thing to book up at a lot of campgrounds. So, these campgrounds I booked using my “hack.”īut I waited to book South Dakota until about 3 months in advance….which turned out to be a bad idea. I share more about that “hack” in this video if you want to learn more about it. And there is a a “hack” I use for booking on of booking 6 months AND 1 week in advance. Well, I knew from past experience that areas near Yellowstone, Teton and Glacier National parks book up at least 6 months in advance. This past summer (the summer of 2021) we booked out most of our trip 5-6 months in advance. All because the campgrounds in the Black Hills of South Dakota were ALL booked! This means if you want to make sure you have a place to stay, booking well in advance is key.īoiled down – YOU MUST START PLANNING now for any travel you want to do within the next 6-18 months.Īsk me how I know planning well in advance is necessary? Let me tell you a little story about having to change up travel plans. This influx means campgrounds in some cases are booked out up to a year in advance! There are more RV’s than campsites right now. Especially the more popular areas around National Parks, major cities, etc. With the influx of RVers there is a “camping crunch” in some areas. Many people have jumped into RV living because they’ve realized it’s a pretty awesome lifestyle! And we’re super happy that more and more people are joining the RV community. Living RV life in 2021 has become a whole new ball game.

And I created a template for trip planning that I will show you how to use so keep reading. RV Road Trips require planning! And after 4+ years of RVing, we’ve learned what does and what does not work for RV Trip Planning. With the influx of Rv’er in the past year, it’s not quite that easy any longer. It used to be that you could jump in your RV, hit the road and find campgrounds and places to overnight park on the fly. Using “Anchor Points” in RV Road Trip Planning.
