Within the next couple of weeks approx 80 percent of the sites here will be empty, but then again this is a Snow Bird Park and very few short term rentals.

Okay - now I guess I'll tell off on myself.
Removing one spark plug was a great idea - much like the pitcocks on the twin cylinder John Deere tractors. You see, they were hand cranked via the flywheel. Get a good hold on the flywheel and give it your all several times until the engine spit, coughed and then halfway started. Then close both pitcocks and throttle up. Don't really miss those days since I was about 50 lbs soaking wet at the time....
Edit: Didn't meant to hijack the post. The COE campgrounds we have been frequenting have been anything but crowded. There were a couple of outings where there were only two or three other campers in the campground. With that said, we picked up our HC last December and go out for a week and a half to two weeks while we can and it was Winter at the time. We've booked our outings through August or October of this year - again primarily COE campgrounds. We've had to be selective about locations and sites that are large and level enough, but a couple days of research has us reserved into the Fall. Every since early last year in a SOB, we've enjoyed the relative quietness and lack of crowds at the COEs that we've been to. Hoping everyone has a great season ahead this year.

RV Parks are increasing they’re nightly rates as well. I had made reservations last year for this summer. Had to make a slight change. Didn’t noticed at time until I printed my new reservation. Went up from $46 a night to $54. Wow. …

UK diesel is £1.93/liter, equivalent to $9.49/gal!

California is getting awful! You have to book 60 - 120 - 365 days in advance! Most RV camping has become a timeshare! 7K to get on the short list! Even in my own backyard. It's so disheartening with the price of fuel. I'll be camping out in my driveway!

I don't see an electric truck pulling a 5er to a doondock camp in my lifetime.

How long before CGs start charging a surcharge to recharge you EV while you're there?

OK, we are now at Cane Creek Campground (Union County park) in North Carolina, South of Charlotte. We are within a few miles of the South Carolina border.
Noticed diesel prices are higher in SC. Saw one a couple days ago that was still 5.25 (Fort Mill, SC), and then in NC near Charlotte (off the interstate) 4.55.
We arrived last Sunday to this campground and it appears to be about 85% full. They do have a few seasonal sites and they are all filled. But the remainder of the park seems to be about that 85% full right now. I imagine when the week-end rolls around it will be 100% occupied, especially when walking around and they've already marked the sites with reserved stickers for this week-end.
Just an FYI, we made our reservations for this campground about 6 months ago, and I remember the site we actually wanted was not available. We settled for a different one. (we were camped here 2 years ago in April, so we were familiar with the sites).
