dons2346 Report post Posted May 10, 2021 The DW has been planning and plotting our round trip to Gillette and got sticker shock when making reservations. What was $35 last trip is now $75 and some are pushing over $80. Guess they are trying to make up for last year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wayne77590 Report post Posted May 10, 2021 Supply and demand and demand is up. So many finding out it is cheaper to full time in a MH then pay mortgage, taxes and insurance premiums. We are going WAY north this summer and I already have made reservations. Many places I was lucky to get in and this was for July..yep..prices are way up.

jgallego Report post Posted May 10, 2021 I made my reservations way before New Years. Most are reasonable. I guess I made them before they went up in price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ianbullock Report post Posted May 10, 2021 Where and which parks in particular are you seeing this increase? We were planning to go to the Gillett area last summer but cancelled due to Covid. Most of our reservations were in the $75-80 range for a FHU pullthru in SD, Colorado, Wyoming. The cheapest might have been $65. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richard5933 Report post Posted May 10, 2021 Even before Covid we were paying $50-$75/ night at many campgrounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hermanmullins Report post Posted May 10, 2021 Prices are fair down here. Going to Gillette we have reservations at three parks 1 @ $51, 1 @ $45 and one @ $50. That is pretty normal for our area. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rayin Report post Posted May 11, 2021 I expect to see a lot of Wally-dockers this summer as a result of everything increasing in price this year. Last I heard Cracker Barrel eliminated over-nighting for RV;s, we may still park and eat and rest when store is open. That may not be true, just what I was told.

manholt Report post Posted May 11, 2021 Ray, Cracker Barrel has filed for Bankruptcy protection...along with another 100, like IHOP! I have found any where from $45 to $70 (10% off for GS), between Cortez, CO. to Gillette. I don't see an increase yet, but suspect I will as we head for UPMI later this summer....Our Alaska trip got canceled, not by Canada, by our POTUS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wayne77590 Report post Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) So so strange that 300 people can get on a plane and fly internationally, but RV'ers and car drivers can't cross the border. Just doesn't seem realistic. Might be the different areas we are traveling in this year, but the prices do seem higher.

manholt Report post Posted May 11, 2021 Wayne, it depends on the country your flying to. Norway is closed. Sweden is open. It also depends on your Nationality and the reason for leaving. If your American it's not a matter of buying a plane ticket and leave! You need a viable reason and it's constantly changing! We want to fly over to Sweden and stay with my cousin for a week, he's my age and the only living relative that I still have there! Not a viable reason per US Customs & CDC! My only aunt died in March and the funeral was March 26th, got the same response! 🤬 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't find anything about that; and even their investor press releases don't mention it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
