Question Empty Campgrounds?

[Joe Dutchstar]

This trip Starting Monday, so far camp grounds are empty. Large KOA in a Jennings Florida off I 75, only 4 rigs. Whole rows empty.
When planning this trip I had campground hosts say to me, the place is empty no need for reservations.
Is this Normal for this time of year??

Possibly. Back to school, end of season, etc. etc.

Strange, we're seeing more and more first time visitors than ever before. And lots of return visitors too. Probably as Neal suggested, seasonal effects.

Fall color (colour) hot spots will be hard to get. I'm getting ready to call and try to get into a location and I have a hunch what the answer is going go be.

Yes, end of summer and pre-snow bird season, last September was the same during our western trip, half full campgrounds every stop

An observation from just one Texas campground in the DFW area. Weekends have been sold out most of the summer, but weekday reservations are fluctuating between +/- five percent. Overall, business has been steady. Can’t recommend just showing up and hoping for your favorite spot.

It has been the slowest summer season boondocking I have ever seen

For a baseline, I have been full-timing in the forest for the last 22 years.

Only rule I have established is " stay on the western side of the US!

Probably so in Florida. Try back in January, different story I bet.
