DALLAS, May 17 -- There's hope for travelers who have been frustrated in their attempts to book Memorial Day weekend reservations at scenic locations across the Lone Star State.
"While campsites at the more popular federal, state and local parks often book up months in advance, there are literally hundreds of private campgrounds and RV resorts throughout Texas that still have spaces available for Memorial Day weekend," said Brian Schaeffer, executive director and CEO of the Texas Association of Campground Owners.
"All travelers have to do is log on to texascampgrounds.com or gocampingtexas.com and they can easily spot the private campgrounds that are located in the areas they wish to visit. At that point, they can click on the websites of the parks of interest to them and make their reservations, either by phone or online."
While public campgrounds are located inside state, federal and local parks, Schaeffer said private parks typically offer better amenities, including camping cabins, pull through campsites, wireless Internet service and activities for young and old alike.
Schaeffer also encourages Texas-bound travels to pick up a free copy of the 2007 edition of the Texas RV Travel & Camping Guide, a four-color, glossy magazine that lists more than 400 campgrounds and RV resorts in Texas and New Mexico. The directory, which is available at campgrounds, Texas Travel Information Centers, chambers of commerce, visitors bureaus and RV shows, includes a Texas Saver Card that provides 10 to 15 percent discounts at participating parks, plus a Texas RV Rewards Card that can be used to accumulate points for free overnight camping.
