Camping fee increase likely at Chickasaw National Recreation Area
The National Park Service is proposing a hike in camping fees. If approved, the following new fee rates will go into effect in the spring of 2010.
The proposed camping fees would be an increase of $2.00 for individual sites and $6.00 for group sites.
The fee increase will cover increased utility costs for electricity and provide additional revenue which will be applied to the highest priority visitor needs, park officials said.
The funds are used for maintenance, repair projects, public service programs, signage, and natural and historical resource preservation.

31 Campgrounds & RV resorts get 'A' grades
ORLANDO, FLORIDA - Thirty-one campgrounds and RV resorts have earned all around "A" grades in the second annual consumer satisfaction survey of independent parks.
The top parks were announced at the Rosen Centre Hotel in Orlando last week during an awards ceremony hosted by the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds.
Nearly 17,000 camping and RV enthusiasts participated in the online survey, which evaluated guest experiences at 1,840 independent campgrounds and RV resorts affiliated with the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds.
"Sixteen of the nation's 31 top parks in our survey also received 'A' ratings last year, but we also had 15 parks that received 'A' ratings for the first time," said Bob MacKinnon, president and CEO of GuestRated.com, the Murrieta, Calif.-based company that conducted the online survey on behalf of the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds.
MacKinnon said that GuestRated.com provides online survey tools to more than 3,600 parks that are affiliated with the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds. That's nearly half of the nation's private parks.
The results of the surveys are gradually being posted the websites of state and national campground associations, including GoCampingAmerica.com, the website of the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds, which uses a 5-point system to indicate each park's scores in five critical areas of guest satisfaction.
"The objective of these surveys is to help private campground, RV park and resort operators to pinpoint the improvements they need to make to provide their guests with the best possible camping experience," said Linda Profaizer, president and CEO of the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds.
Consumers are invited to submit their own reviews of private campgrounds and RV resorts they have recently visited by logging on to www.gocampingamerica.com and clicking on the "Review a Park" tab. Survey results are currently posted for 265 parks on the GoCampingAmerica website.
The 31 parks earning "A" grades for 2009 include:
- Acres of Wildlife - Steep Falls, Me.*
- Baileyton RV Park - Greenville, Tenn.
- Buttonwood Campground - Mexico, Penn.*
- Chalk Creek Campground & RV Park - Nathrop, Colo.

Sioux Falls, S.D Lifts Campground Restrictions
Woodall's Campground Management
In a case of closing the barn door after most of the horses have gone, the Sioux Falls, S.D., city council has eliminated a provision in the city’s ordinances that limit people to spending 30 days a year in campgrounds. The council took the action Monday night (Nov. 16).
The issue came to light in October when city officials tried to evict about a half-dozen campers and RVs at the Westwick Motel and Campground, according to the Sioux Falls Argus Leader.
Owner David Fritz said some people chose to move out of town anyway.
“I’ve got four people left now,” he said.
City officials are working on a new campground ordinance that could be ready by next month. But because city officials were prepared to evict campers at Westwick on Nov. 23, the council chose to act Monday to eliminate the 30-day rule.

Fran and I found the Garmin nüvi 205 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator
was a great help to us on our recent RV trip to New York. We bought it halfway through the 8,000 mile trip after getting lost a couple of times.

A tour of the West's spectacular national parks
A 38-foot fifth-wheel and a 30-foot motor home guaranteed us all the comforts of home away from home while having a grand change of scene daily. A comforter covered the memory foam pad in the back seat of our truck for Bob, our black lab. Mike and Michelle brought walkie-talkies, great for communicating at food stops, rest stops and fueling stops.
As our traveling homes pulled in alongside each other at a rest stop near home, the buzz to begin another great adventure was in high gear. We were on the move; the wagons were rollin’.
We caravanned up White Pass and through the Yakima Valley. Our first night would be spent in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Even after many previous trips, this route remains a beautiful drive. Early morning, going toward White Pass with the fog just hanging above the beautiful mountains is always breath-taking. Evergreens become sparser as we trail down the other side of the pass, and the land’s lush green gives way to fields of fruit trees and crops. I always feel that this is really the beginning of the trip; like being shot out of a comfortable space station to the unknown. You just never know what might lie around the next corner.

Parks Canada working to attract more campers
EDMONTON — Parks Canada wants to lure more people into national parks by making camping and visits friendlier to families, city slickers and new Canadians who may never have pitched a tent in the woods.
New statistics show an overall drop of nine per cent in attendance at national parks since the 2007-08 season. Visits are even down in such world-renowned parks as Banff and Jasper in the Rocky Mountains, Pacific Rim in British Columbia, Cape Breton Highlands in Nova Scotia and the birdwatching mecca of Point Pelee, Ont.

Olympic RV parking spots sitting empty
With less than three months until the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, only 80 campers have signed up for the 350 $100-a-night RV camping sites at
Jericho Beach and Spanish Banks.
But the Vancouver parks board says it is confident bookings will soon balloon, due to a marketing campaign it launched last week.
"We've been getting a ton of inquiries and it's really ramping up," said parks board spokeswoman Barb Floden. "It's the million-dollar view for less than $100 a night."

RV snowbirds bring economic boost to Tucson Arizona
As the winter season settles in, so do our winter visitors. That means local restaurants may be busier, and shopping centers more packed. With all the extra business, it's a season that many local industries depend on.
"For about four months, we fill up completely," said George O'Leary, owner of Rincon Country RV Resort. O'Leary says only 20 percent of his RV spaces are occupied by year-round residents. He depends heavily on winter visitors for the bulk of his business. And this year, he's already off to a busy start.
"I couldn't believe it," he said. "One day, ten rigs showed up without reservations, that was very nice to see that."
O'Leary says reservations for spaces this past month are up 25 percent compared to this time last year. And the spending impact of winter visitors doesn't stop there. "They're going to restaurants and buying cars and buying RV's."

Everything's better in an Airstream travel trailer.
Just off the interstate in Hillsboro, Texas - about an hour south of Fort Worth on I-35 - there's a whole neighborhood full of Airstream trailers. They're lined up on tidy lots: big ones, little ones, vintage trailers and tricked-out newer models. And the people who own them have formed a community there. They may be on the road several months of each year, but the North Texas Airstream Community is their home base: It gives them a mailing address, a small house to stay in, a group of neighbors that they know they will see again. Their homes may have wheels, but they have a piece of solid ground to return to when they wish.
The community was started in 1991. A group of Airstream owners found a 50-acre spot in Hill County, put a fence around it and divided it into lots.
