Question Empty Campgrounds?

[Texas Clodhopper]

We've been traveling from Texas since April. We have traveled almost 9000 miles and camped in 14 states. We have stayed in commercial parks, state parks, BLM, COE, national forests, mom and pop parks, Elks Lodges, Harvest Hosts, and Walmarts. We have not stayed in a park yet that has been full, usually 20% - 50% empty. We generally make reservations the day before or the day of arrival, even on Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day. We were in the Adirondacks area for the last 6 weeks, and the parks are not close to capacity. We are in VT this week, staying at HH (Hick's Orchard and Goodrich Sugar Maple). We are alone. I was visiting with the owner of Goodrich Sugar Maple, and their traffic is down 80% from last year. Yesterday, we found a nice park to stay on Saturday and Sunday to do laundry, etc. I pulled in and asked if they had space available, and the response was How many spaces would I like? Its a nice gated park with full hook-ups + cable. Heated pool and other nice amenities. $60. When we stayed in Lake Placid, we stayed at the local VFD with full hook-ups for $40. KOA was $130, and it was practically empty.

Finding a place to stay has not been an issue. It brings back the memories of camping pre-covid when prices were more reasonable and there was always someplace available.
