So, you’ve purchased all of your camping gear and now you’re ready to make reservations!  Do you know how to get deals on sites?  Most campgrounds won’t ask if you qualify for deals, you need to ask them!

Do you have AAA?  If you do, many campgrounds offer a 10% discount.  Many won’t make this offer on holiday weekends, but some will.  Some didn’t used to, and now they do, so ask every time you go!

If you camp regularly at a KOA, consider getting the value card they offer.  Not only do you get a discount on your stay, but after you collect enough points, you can get free nights.  A lot of KOAs also offer a free night Mother’s Day weekend- but they limit the number and type of sites, so you need to get your reservation early.

Consider also getting on a waiting list for a full campground if you can afford to make last minute plans.  You never know when someone will cancel, and a campground may offer a discount to fill that site at the last minute!
