KOA, Kamp Grounds of America, says 28.5 million households are expected to go camping Labor Day weekend.
Will you be one of them? Where will you go and what style of camping will you do? Will it just be your family or will you go with friends?

Oh hell no, not even around this area. There’s a large lake but everyone who lives around here knows better than to plan a holiday weekend out there…overcrowded and no privacy and not so peaceful with so many people crowded together. Not even to go fishing and come back home in the evening…

@cherokeepatti One of the joys or retirement. Go places when no one else can.😷

@whowasthatmaskedman This lake was said to be in the top 10 places for the most visitors in the USA. That’s hard to imagine considering all of the beautiful scenic areas in the USA but damn it was overcrowded all summer long. They’ve had to put limits on the number of vehicles coming into the lake area on the weekends and on holidays, they have counters counting how many cars leave and will only let that many come back inside of the area….way too crowded. They started charging just to park a vehicle at any time but since I am a Senior I can show my age on my license and they won’t charge me.

@cherokeepatti I know America has many thousands of sites worth seeing. (I only scratched the surface, intending to return).. If there is an up side to covid I suspect that it is a lot more Americans holidayed at home and saw parts of their own country for a change. I am suitably jealous of them since I missed my shot.😷

@whowasthatmaskedman yes and to buy some of these recreational vans or other vehicles you have to order a year or more in advance, that’s how swamped they are for new orders on this type of vehicle. It keeps people from staying in hotels and they can drive around where ever they want.

@cherokeepatti I do like my comforts and had planned to travel by train, crisscrossing. Cant get used to the idea of driving from the glove compartment, let alone the wrong side of the road. The food all over in America was lovely. Shame about the coffee.😷
