With my upgraded Thousand Trails membership, I'm able to book a solid 6 months ahead, and I've been busy the past few months booking my summer. I do this every year, most years I wind up cancelling most of them if I take a job, but until I get that job offer & accept it, I'll keep booking things. Was able to add the last booking just last night...

That's quite a plan Cliff!  I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do in June.   ;D

Lots of plans! That's awesome. Our TT membership only lets us reserve 60 days ahead.
At this point I'm not sure what I'm doing tomorrow! LOL

Well, since I full time, and the only way that is affordable is to have an upgraded membership. With that I get 180 day booking window, can stay up to 3 weeks, and I can go from Park to Park, it's well worth it. My new upgraded membership I pay $90 per month, I'll be stuck with that payment for 4.5 more years, then it goes away. I also have yearly dues (locked in at $585 per year), plus the add-on Trails Collection (add's 200 extra parks to the list) cost me an additional $84 per month, so my total is $174 per month, no nightly campging fee's! Can't live much cheaper than that.

With all that being said, it can still be tough to reserve sites if I don't stay on top of it, so I just keep booking things as soon as my window opens up.

That's cheap living. Nice upgrade on your plan.
Since we were gifted our first year TT dues not sure what cost will be next year. Daughter is looking to go seasonal at Indian Lakes, so that's where we'll end up camping this year. At least that means son-in-law will only have to tow our trailer every couple of weeks. Won't be any travelling in our immediate future since Donna has a few more years to work. And I don't own a TV.

Update: I had posted above "add's 200 extra parks to the list cost me an additional $84 per night"

I had to edit that to '$84 per month'

Here is another tid-bit of info on that list above. According to my membership, I'm only allowed to carry one of the 3 summer Holiday's on the books at time. So far, the system has let me book all three of those Holidays! (Memorial Day, Independence Day, & Labor Day).

I'd keep an eye on those reservations, just in case!

I am checking them daily. But I expect to be working at Sum Outdoors Saco long before then, and I'll wind up canceling much of the reservations.

Due to some unforeseen circumstances I'm extending my stay in Florida by at least 3 weeks. Dealing with a medical issue that needs to be resolved before I head north.

Tim,
Is that Indian Lakes St Park NW of Columbus?
As in the 1968 song by the Cowsills "Indian Lake" ?

... Indian Lake is a scene
You should make with your little one
Just keep it in mind if you're lookin' to find
A place in the summer sun
Well, you can swim in the cove have a snack in the grove
Or you can rent a canoe (you can rent a canoe)
At Indian Lake you'll be able to make
The way the Indians do

I believe he's referring to Thousand Trails Indian Lakes of Batesville Indiana...

Correct. Think I posted that on another thread.
So how are you doing? When does the north bound trek begin now?
