TACO Encourages Campers to Book Labor Day Sites

The Texas Association of Campground Owners (TACO) is urging camping enthusiasts to book their reservations for Labor Day weekend now to ensure they have a campsite or cabin over the holiday weekend.

“While demand for RV sites and cabins is at record levels, you can still find excellent campsites and rental accommodations if you plan ahead, even over Labor Day weekend if you make your reservations now,” said Brian Schaeffer, executive director, and CEO of TACO, which hosts TexasCampgrounds.com, the travel planning website.

TexasCampgrounds.com provides descriptions, photos and links to more than 400 campgrounds, RV parks and resorts across the Lone Star State, many of which have park model RVs, cabins and other rental accommodations.
