Get ready for summer: Book your campsite ASAP – Good Morning America

March 5, 2021

This morning on Good Morning America I shared my top tip for would-be campers this summer: Book now! Sites are reporting record numbers when it comes to bookings and if there’s anything we’ve learned from last year, it’s that closures and restrictions could easily throw a wrench in your plans. Your best bet is to book your site early and remain flexible. Watch for more on this subject from me in the weeks ahead. But for now, find your site and reserve it!
