Texas Campgrounds Urging Campers to Prepare for Labor Day Weekend

The Texas Association of Campground Owners (TACO) is urging consumers to book their reservations now for Labor Day weekend, according to a press release.

“TACO has more than 400 campgrounds and RV resort members across Texas, but the parks with the best amenities always sell out first,” said Brian Schaeffer, TACO’s executive director and CEO. “We recommend making your reservations as soon as possible if you’d like to go camping or glamping over Labor Day weekend.”

Here’s a sampling of both new and existing parks across Texas that would be great destinations over Labor Day weekend:

• Alamo Fiesta RV Resort in Boerne: Located in the German heritage town of Boerne, this 220-site, pet-friendly park includes mostly pull-through RV sites and rental cabins. The park can be used as a convenient base camp for trips into San Antonio, as well as the Texas Hill Country. Amenities include a playground, exercise equipment and a park store.
