I just made the trip from DEN to DAL via the back highways. There were more RV's on that 870ish mile ride than I've seen on the back highways in a long time. They were also moving slower than in previous years. I was running at 50mph and most of the other RV's that passed me were going around 55-60mph. Truckers were going slower too. Maybe people are slowing down and avoiding the main interstates to conserve fuel.
Overnight site pricing? Unless there's a need for dump facilities, recharging batteries or something else, why not boondock in a town park or at truck stops while enroute to somewhere else? The overnight rate is $zero which is hard to beat.

We still are having to make reservations for weekends at the Georgia State Parks that are close to us. I believe that folks are still going, but not going as far.

Native Texan? Only Native Texans I know are either Mexican or Indian.
Here in West Central Florida the RV parks are almost empty. No reservations needed and you have your pick of sites. Go figure. I start my full-timing this Thursday and plan to head north towards Indiana and Kentucky to visit friends and family. So Far, the 2 RV parks in the area where I plan to stay still have mucho open spots and are on a first come first served basis. Want to get better chances of getting into an RV park, then make sure you are in the area where you plan to stay for a while by Wednesday. The parks do not make money by keeping open sites for reservations 3-4 days down the road
