Are you headed out with your RV for Memorial Day weekend? Do you have your reservations, or maybe you know a secret spot where they aren’t required where you’ll have no problem finding space?
Anyone who has camped much in recent years knows there are three weekends each year that are guaranteed to bring campers out in hordes — Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day. Well, the first of those three is just around the corner.
Hopefully, if you’re headed out you’ve got a reservation. But whatever the case, will you spend the weekend in your RV?
Remember, it may take a few moments for the poll to load, so stand by. . .
And for Canadian readers, will you spend the weekend before — Victoria Day weekend — in your RV? And P.S. We miss all of you down here in the US of A, and hope you can return soon (and we’re looking forward to heading your way again, soon).
We typically do most of our RV’ing in the Spring, Fall, and Winter, to avoid some of the crowds, while schools are in session, and when there are less vacationers, and less traffic.
Same here
I’m working this Memorial Day weekend, so will be taking my little camper to a COE park close to my nursing job to help with my commute.
Be safe out there and have fun!!
Yes. We made reservations at two Florida state parks 11 months ago. Planning a week long trip.
I will not travel during the big three summer holidays, if I am in my Motor Home, it will be to fix/modify something on my to-do list.
Same here. I try to avoid the crowds and people trying to have all of their fun in 72 hours. I’ll be in my drive way making sure everything is ready for the real thing.
Returning home after 3 weeks on the road. Rest, refit and go again.
Every year we head into Amish Country, Lancaster County PA to spend a long weekend with our group of camping friends. Been doing this since the mid-1980’s and although many in our group are experiencing aches and pains, we still enjoy spending that holiday weekend sitting around the campfire telling stories and laughing it up.
Plan on being home between trips on crazy time weekend. Will be in the RV doing upgrades and repairs and getting ready for the next trip.
Too many people, kids and dogs.
Had kids run thru our site and one tripped and the father came back and accused us of tripping his kid. After he understood the problem he left and kids never came back.
We’ll sit at home and have family over.
Generally we avoid camping on holiday weekends. I guess I just needed to get out too much this year so made reservations back in November.
We will spend Memorial Day at the Gaffney SC Freightliner Service Center….annual service is June 1st……great times
Our RV is our home. We will be going to our grandaughter’s graduation party at their house, then back to our campground though.
We have no choice thanks to GEICO. Three weeks ago we hit an antelope, damaging our Side step, bumper, headlight and knocking the exhaust loose on our generator. Numerous calls, promises, a change in adjusters (neither of which we have seen) and here we sit. Luckily we have a place to park, with 20 amp power. So yes, we will be spending Memorial Day weekend and who knows how many more weekends in our RV. Only GEICO knows.
Retired and don’t need “Holidays” for camping. We’ll get back before the holiday weekend.
Haven’t traveled om Memorial day or Labor day weekends in many years, we would rather go during the week days and leave the weekends to family’s, less kids and noise.
Normally don’t travel holidays or summer. One exception is going to the Indy500, which is always (except last year) Sunday before Memorial Day. So we left May 11th, arrived May 17th. Stay at RV park and drive into track for practices/qualifying. Thursday before race we have dry camp parking (electrical available for a price) for 4 nights across from the main entrance to the track. So although we are in our RV for Memorial Day weekend it’s easy. Just get up, get ready and walk across the street. Never had a problem traveling on Monday, Memorial Day on our way home. Although we do book RV site way in advance.
Usually avoid Memorial Day, the Fourth, and Labor Day. If we do go out, it’s to some remote boondocking spot. Too many amateurs out on those days even in a normal year.
We make sure we are camphosting at one of our favorite spots Memorial Day THROUGH Labor Day so we don’t have to be on the road or hunting for a place to camp.
I’ll be in mine, in the driveway, working on mods for this winter’s snowbirding trip. I won’t even drive my car in the insane summer weekend traffic. The beach is three blocks away – walk or bike.
We are traveling now to beat the rush. We get home the day before Memorial day.
I never travel on holiday weekends. Weather permitting, we’ll be boondocking at a friends place locally, relaxing, enjoying nature, and BBQ on monday..
Full Time. 15 years.
Since retiring, both Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends are times we avoid staying in campgrounds. These two weekends are when a lot of the Partiers show up.
Yes. Thursday through Sunday in Sanibel, FL. Great RV park!
Needed a 4th option: yes because I live fulltime in it.
Yes, because we just started full timing yesterday in beautiful San Diego. 🙂
We are full timers but hunker down at our sticks and bricks for Memorial Day and Labor Day
We don’t like camping on Holidays. It’s too hard to get reservations.
We sure will! That’s because we are full timers. But we would be traveling? Not! We are mooch docking in the relatives driveway and doing so much I needed maintenance. Just another day in the life. But we stay off the highways during those crazy holiday weekends.
Our RV is in the shop presently. We are hopeful of retrieving it sometime next week, if not this week.
mine in shop also,!
I NEVER go out rving on Memorial Day week-end, just too many people!!!!!
no way too many crazy people camping, I go the week before or after
Since we retired, we avoid rush days and hours everywhere. No RVing on holidays, no grocery store visits between 5 & 6pm, and we go to restaurants before or after the rush…
Now that we are retired, we go before or after holiday times. At the moment, BC
Health Regulations say we can’t travel outside of our area until after June 15.
We usually go up to north FL for the Folk festival (canceled this year) but already had booked the campground. After the weekend traveling to Kentucky, round trip 45 days.
