We highly recommend making reservations in advance, especially during peak season (summer months and holidays). Popular destinations can book up weeks or even months ahead. Last-minute bookings may be available during off-peak times.
Pet policies vary by property. Many campgrounds welcome pets but may have restrictions on size, breed, or number of pets. Some properties charge additional pet fees. Always check the specific property's pet policy before booking.
Essential items include a tent or RV, sleeping bags, cooking equipment, food and water, appropriate clothing for the weather, first aid kit, flashlight, and any specific gear for planned activities. Check the property's amenities to see what's provided and what you'll need to bring.
